3.3 Leveling
Level the rain gage after mounting it. To level, remove the housing assembly
from the base by loosening the three housing screws and lifting the housing
upward. Adjust the three nuts on the CM240 bracket to level the gage. A
bullseye level is mounted on the rain gage’s base to facilitate leveling (see
Figure 3-4).
Remove the rubber shipping band and cardboard packing securing the tipping
bucket assembly. Tip the bucket several times to insure the tipping mechanism
is moving freely. Replace the housing assembly and tighten the three screws
to secure the housing to the base.
