make 0 (zero) adjustment on surface plate.
NOTE
• When setting dial gauge to mounting
dummy, tighten screw lightly. Be careful
not to overtighten it, which will cause
damage to dial gauge.
• With dial gauge set, turn dummy back and
forth by hand a couple of times and attain
accurate 0 (zero) adjustment.
• It is desirable that short pointer indicates
beyond 2 mm when long one is at 0 (zero).

gauge set on pinion dummy (2) and take
measurement between zero position and extended
dial gauge measuring tip.
NOTE
• Repeat turning back and forth of dummy
and measure distance as far as top surface
of pinion dummy accurately.
• When dial gauge measuring tip extends
from 0 (zero) position, pointer turns
counterclockwise.
