MAINTENANCE
Examine the gauge glass regularly for any signs

Use commercial non-abrasive glass cleaners to
keep the glass clean. Use diluted acids such as
Hydrochloric (muriatic) acid when regular
cleaners do not seem to work. Do not use wire
brushes or any other abrasive materials which
could scratch the glass.
INSPECTION
Examine the surface of the glass for scratches,
corrosion, chips, cracks, surface flaws, or nicks.
To do this, shine a very bright concentrated
