Gauges

Cleaning Gauges

PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Use only mild soap and water to clean the gauge lenses and bezels.
• Use of other cleaners, including common window cleaning solutions, may cause the lenses
to crack.
• Lenses cracked in this manner will not be covered by our warranty.

Gauge Fogging

• Moisture may occasionally find its way into the gauges causing lens fogging.
• Turning on the gauge lights will help dry the lenses.
• Fogging will not harm the gauges.

Radio Transmission Interference

VHF or other radio transmissions may cause brief erratic readings on tachometers and/or synchronizers. This will not
damage these gauges or affect their accuracy when not transmitting.

Twin Engine Readings

It is normal for tachometers and other gauges to have slightly different readings between engines.

Fuel Gauge

It is normal for the pointers on your fuel gauges to bounce as fuel sloshes back and forth in the fuel tanks.

Synchronizer

The synchronizer will help you run both engines at the same RPM (rotations per minute). Running synchronized
engines will improve efficiency and reduce vibration.
• When both engines are running at the same RPM the pointer on the synchronizer will be in the center position.
• If one engine is running slower than the other the pointer will swing towards the slower engine.
• Center the pointer by adjusting the RPM on either engine.
! CAUTION!
