wires so they do not obstruct the freedom of travel of any controls. Do not kink this cable.
Any bend in this cable should have a 1/2 inch or more radius. You may decide to cut the extension cable
to a specific length. If you do this, strip each wire and double the wires over. An extra set of connectors
are provided in the kit. Place a male connector on the red wire and a female connector on the yellow wire.
Double crimp these connectors. Double the wires over. A good crimp is critical.

Route the Pressure T

Route the Pressure Transducer Extension Wires:

ransducer Extension Wires:

In the wire harness is a 3 foot red and black wire used for instrument power and ground and a 6 foot

red and black wire used for the pressure transducer. Route the four 6 foot pressure transducer wires (red,
black, green and white) in the wire harness to the pressure transducer and cut to length. These wires
maybe spliced if extra wire length is required. Install the male connectors supplied with the kit on the four
wires and connect them to the pressure transducer matching the colors of the wires. Be sure the wires are
doubled over and double crimped onto the connectors. Tie wrap these wires so they do not obstruct

Install the Instrument in the P

Install the Instrument in the Panel:

anel:

Install the instrument from behind the instrument panel using 6 x 32 screws. These screws should not

be any longer than 1/2". Tie wrap any loose wires as needed.

Connect the Circular Connector to the Instrument:

1) Push the two mating connectors together and twist them until they snap into position.

2) Turn the locking ring on the instrument connector clockwise (1 1/2 turns) until it locks into posi-

tion.

Check Instrument Operation:

Check instrument operation as follows:

1. Turn the master switch on (engine off) and verify that the instrument sequences through all the
analog lights. A problem at this step could be caused by poor connections on the red and/or black
leads.
