Wiring  Connection

Keep  electrical  and transducer  cables

away  from alternator or other noise

generating electrical  cables.  Avoid

connecting the instrument to power

circuits  that share  loads  with ignition,

alternators,  inverters  and radio

transmitters.  Electrical  power supply

connections  should always  be as  short

as  possible.

Connect  the red wire from the gauge to

the positive supply through a 1 amp fuse

or a 1 amp  circuit breaker . Connect  the

green wire from the gauge to the

electrical  ground.

Connect  the fuel 

 transducer  to the

gauge as  follows:

  fuel  line.  The   transducer   MUS T  be

installed AFTER  the  main  fuel  

.  It  should

be located well away  from any area  where it

will be effected by excessive  heat  or  vibration

from the engine.  It is preferable  to mount the

transducer  in a vertical position.

Drain all the fuel from the 

 fuel line. Cut

the fuel line and using the fuel hose  attaching

clips provided install the transducer  so that the
