METER INSTALLATION
1.
Clip on the black plastic sensor over any convenient spark plug wire. Make sure the
sensor is completely seated down on the spark plug wire so there is no air gap.
2.
Attach the ground wire ring terminal to any convenient bare metal surface on the
engine or frame. Typically an existing engine fastener can be used.
3.
Route the sensor lead wire and mount the meter. CAUTION: Keep meter and wire
away from EXTREMELY HOT engine surfaces or possible interference. Extra lead wire
can be coiled-up out of the way. See separate instructions for mounting meters with
double-sided tape.
4.
Attach the sensor tamper-proof lock.
NOTE:
These installation steps may have already been performed by your original
equipment manufacturer.
