Can anyone tell what this label used to say?

I bought this chamber and it had a label here saying something about removing a pin. When I pulled the covering label off, it partially destroyed the under laying instructions. Curtis is closed for the weekend and I'm hoping someone here will know.

Thanks

If your gauge needs to be zeroed out just remove that plug to equalize the pressure inside the gauge. Here is a link to a video that explains it better.

And have a paper towel handy. Gauge oils will likely leak out.

Unfortunately, I looked at my gauge (I have the same gauge) and I have the same problem you have. The label was saturated in gauge oil and illegible. Thanks Michael for the answer to the question. Thanks Mike for the warning about having a paper towel handy.

I left Curtis an email, expecting an answer on Monday. Well, he replied:

"The second sticker says to remove the pin before use! I put the bigger sticker since most folks were missing the one on the gauge. It is best to remove it and leave it out. If you choose to remove, then put it back in, you will need to do that before every use to assure the gauge is at the same barometric pressure as the day you are using it."

Wow, this is service!
