Gauges

Cleaning the 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 the tachometer. This will not damage the
tachometer gauge or affect its accuracy when not transmitting.

Fuel Gauge

It is normal for the pointer on your fuel gauge to bounce as fuel sloshes back and forth in the fuel tank.
