Installation Instructions
TwinScan® 3” Instrument – Tachometer Only
Gas and Diesel Engines
To ensure years of trouble free operation of your new TwinScan
®
Instrument
please read all of these instructions carefully before beginning your installation.
CAUTION: To avoid electrical shorts and possible fire, turn OFF the power to the instrument panel until installation is complete.
WIRING
Use No. 18 AWG multi-strand wire, the included butt splices, and self-sealing heat shrink to make all connections. Alternate
installation: Use insulated ring tongue connectors and a terminal strip. DO NOT solder connections. Vibration can cause wire to
break where solder stops and cause intermittent connections.
Installation: Make a 3 3/8” diameter cutout in the instrument panel for the instrument.
Important: Protect wires from damage caused by sharp edges, moving and hot engine parts. Cable tie and support all wire runs for
safety.
