HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Identify a suitable location on your vehicle’s dashboard for mounting the tachometer, ensuring there is enough clearance behind the panel for the gauge and wiring.
2. Drilling (if necessary): If there isn’t an existing 4.250-inch (108mm) hole, carefully drill one at the chosen location.
3. Wiring Connection: Connect the 8 ft Tachometer Harness to the output signal from your vehicle’s ignition system (typically the negative side of the coil or equivalent tach signal source), then to the tachometer.
4. Power Connection: Connect the 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness to a 12V ignition-switched power source and ground, then to the tachometer.
5. Mounting the Gauge: Insert the tachometer into the hole from the front of the dashboard.
6. Securing the Gauge: Use the included mounting spin ring to secure the tachometer from the back of the dashboard.
7. Calibration (if needed): Calibrate based on the number of engine cylinders. Refer to the product documentation for setting the pulses per revolution (PPR).
8. Shift Light Adjustment (if desired): Set the RPM for shift light activation, if supported. Refer to the manual for instructions.
9. Testing: Start the vehicle to verify accurate RPM readings and proper shift light function.
