1.Align the arrows.

2.Read 15 pounds on the outer scale opposite of 2 gallons on the middle scale. See Figure 12.

Imperial gallon weight of fuel and oil may also be determined in the same manner by lining up the IMP. GAL arrow on the middle scale with the FUEL LBS or OIL LBS arrow on the outer scale.

You can convert liters to U.S. gallons, pounds to kilograms, or feet to meters by aligning the appropriate arrows on the middle and outer scales. For example, to convert pounds to kilograms:

1.Find the arrows marked LBS. and KG, and line them up.

2.Any value in pounds on the outer scale will be opposite of its converted value in kilograms on the middle scale: 2,000 lbs is 901 kg, and 160 kg is 351 lbs.

3.The same procedure is followed for the other conversions.
