    NOTE: It is very important that you familiarize yourself with the programming and operation of the PS-3085 SH system, even if you have already installed a Polarstart system in the past. There are many great new features that may be overlooked if the manual is not read: you would therefore not maximize the potential of the PS-3085 SH.

    On some Ignition systems, the Tach signal can be too high or too low, causing failed starts under certain temperatures. The PS-3085 SH system is designed to read a wide range of Tach signals. No manual adjustments are necessary. Each time a new Unit is installed, however, new Tach adjustment procedures should be carried out.
