Installation Instructions
1. Important Information and Initial Check Out:
A. The installer and aircraft owner must read the Warranty before starting the installation. There is
information in the Warranty that may alter your decision to install this instrument. If you do not accept
the terms of the Warranty, do not install this instrument.
B. If you are not an FAA Certified Aircraft Mechanic familiar with the issues of installing aircraft fuel
flow and pressure instruments, Do Not attempt to install this instrument. The installer should use
current aircraft standards and practices to install this instrument (refer to AC 43.13).
C. Check that any necessary FAA Approvals (STCs, etc.) are available for your aircraft before starting
the installation. The FAA Approved Model List (AML) is located at the back of this manual. Re-
solve any issues you may have before starting the installation.
D. Before starting installation, read the entire Installation Instructions and resolve any installation, operating
and performance issues you may have before starting the installation.
E. THIS INSTALLATION WILL REQUIRE SOME PARTS UNIQUE TO YOUR AIRCRAFT THAT
ARE NOT SUPPLIED IN THE KIT (including, but not limited to hoses and fittings). Acquire all the
parts necessary to install this instrument before starting the installation.
F. Check that the instrument and flow transducer make and model are correct before starting the installation
(check your invoice and the markings on the side of the instrument). A gravity feed fuel system or any
engine rated over 300 H.P. must use an FT-90 flow transduer. A pressure carbureted engine with a
fuel return line requires an FFDM-l (see price sheet).
Transducer Identification Markings: There are two suppliers of the FT-60 and FT-90 Flow
Transducer (E.I. inc and Flowscan). The E.I. units are equipped with a PMA label.
FT-60 - The Flowscan unit is marked "201" on the top of the unit.
FT-90 - The Flowscan unit is marked "231" on the top of the unit.
FT-180 - Equipped with a 3/4 - 16 male fitting.
G. Before starting the installation make sure the unit will fit in the location you intend to install it without
obstructing the operation of any controls.
H. If this instrument is to replace an existing unit in the aircraft, it is the installer's responsibility to move or
replace any existing instruments or components in accordance with FAA approved methods and proce-
dures. The following Installation Instructions do not cover moving or the removal of any existing
instruments or components.
