HOW TO USE:

1. Mount the Gauge: Locate a suitable 2.10″ (54mm) diameter opening in your vehicle’s dashboard or instrument panel. Secure the gauge in place using the provided mounting spin ring.
2. Install the Temperature Sensor: Thread the included Speedhut temperature sensor into the designated port on your engine’s oil system. Ensure it is properly tightened for an accurate reading and to prevent leaks.
3. Connect the Wiring Harness: Connect the 8 ft temperature harness to the temperature sensor. Connect the other end of this harness to the back of the gauge.
4. Connect the Power and Lighting Harness: Attach the 3 ft power and lighting harness to the appropriate terminals on the back of the gauge. Connect the power wire (typically red) to a 12V power source that is switched with the ignition. Connect the ground wire (typically black) to a suitable ground point on the vehicle’s chassis. The lighting wire (often orange or similar) can be connected to your vehicle’s lighting circuit if you desire the gauge to illuminate with your headlights.
5. Set the Warning Light (if applicable): Refer to the gauge’s specific instructions for setting the desired high-temperature warning threshold. This usually involves adjusting a dial or button on the gauge itself.
6. Verify Functionality: Once all connections are made, start your vehicle and allow it to reach operating temperature. Observe the gauge to ensure it is providing accurate oil temperature readings. Check that the warning light illuminates when the set temperature threshold is exceeded.
