Connecting air to the tool and setting the pressure so that the first gauge reads 100psi BEFORE connecting to the cylinder. When I do connect to the cylinder, the pressure drops a bit. Do I re-adjust back up to 100psi before taking my % reading?
Thanks, Rob |

Rob if you have the two gage style you do want to readjust the first gage to read 100 after connecting to the cylinder. You don't have to, but it makes the math easier, (no need for the calculator.) If you have the single gage style you do not reset the gage to read 100 after connecting to the cylinder.
BTW the harbor freight gage is a POS! |
