Default Sun Vacuum gauge

Does any one know how to reset a vacuum gauge that is at 3" The gauge read zero till it was shipped and not where it at. Works

when hooked up but is there somewhere to release the pressure back to zero?

Gave it a try...it goes to zero and then back up to 3" If I pull vacuum off it, it works well but still goes back to 3"

It may settle on it's on?
