HD pump calibration

I have the HD pump, but it now starts at about 10 when it is not attached or when I first attach. Is there a way to calibrate it so it reads 0 to start?

I bought the low profile SG shocks (54631-02B) for my Ultra and the papers that came with them list the pressure as follows.

Single rider under 160 0-5 psi
Single rider 160-200 0-10 psi
Single rider over 200 5-10 psi
Two up 180 and 120 to 150 passenger 20-30 psi
Two up 180 and 160 passenger 25-35 psi
Two up and fully loaded bags 40-50 psi
Max Pressure 50 psi

GEt the HD pump, it's one of the best buys you will make, you don't want to blow your shocks with a compressor.

I run about 16lbs of pressure on mine all the time. Works well unless I go over a large bump in the road.
I'm 200, my wife is 110.

I have an 09 RKC. I weigh about 245lbs. If Im riding solo I like about 17-18 psi in mine. If I have the OL on (another 145lbs) I run 40 psi. If we are both on and the tour pak is on and the saddlebags are full of stuff I run max psi which is 50 psi.
