With the air horn gasket in place, position the gauge over the floats and against the curvature in the air horn bore. Bend the float arms at the rear of the assembly so floats just touch the gauge. Then bend float arms horizontally to center each pontoon between the gauge legs. Repeat with same gauge on other set of floats.
