SERVICE METERS
This gauge has two service meters. These are a countdown hour meter and a countdown odometer. Both service meters
can be disabled, or enabled independently. This allows for setting of two individual service points, one based on engine
run time, the other based on odometer. This could also allow for setting a service point on whichever service point comes
first, hourly or odometer.
When the setup point is reached,
SERVICE DUE

message until the next time the key is turned on. Once the service has been done, use the left switch to select the service
meter that is due (display will show a negative value or zero). Press and hold the right switch to reset the service meter to
the value set in setup.
The service meter can be disabled by selecting
