Before starting make sure all gas controller ON/OFF knobs are turned off on appliance, then turn on gas supply and pump gauge 4-6 times, otherwise the Gas Meter may not set properly but allow small amounts of gas to flow.
If it is extremely cold the Gas Meter may shut off, try to reset by pumping the gauge 4-6 times.
Lean the Gas Meter at a slight angle to avoid rainwater from entering the device.
If condensation forms under the gauge dial, take the Gas Meter off and place indoors until the condensation dries out then replace back on the system.
