HOW TO USE:

• Mount the Gauge: Locate a suitable 2.67″ (68mm) diameter hole in your dashboard or mounting panel. Insert the Speedhut gauge into the hole and secure it using the included mounting ring from the back.
• Install the Temperature Probe: Identify a 14mm threaded port on your engine’s cylinder head (often a spark plug location). Carefully remove the existing component and install the K-type thermocouple probe. Ensure the probe is securely tightened according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Connect the Wiring Harness: Connect the 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness to the back of the Speedhut gauge.
• Connect Power and Ground: Connect the power wire (typically red) from the harness to a switched 12V power source in your vehicle. Connect the ground wire (typically black) to a reliable ground point on your vehicle’s chassis.
• Connect Lighting (Optional): If desired, connect the lighting wire (often orange or a similar color) to your vehicle’s lighting circuit so the gauge backlighting illuminates with your other instruments.
• Set the Warning Temperature (If Applicable): Some Speedhut gauges allow you to set a specific temperature threshold for the warning light. Refer to the gauge’s specific instructions on how to program this setting.
• Verify Operation: Once all connections are made, start your vehicle and observe the gauge readings. Ensure the warning light functions correctly by allowing the engine to warm up or by simulating an over-temperature condition (if possible and safe to do so for testing purposes).
