SHIFT-SE
T

WARNING

Check with engine builder for maximum recommended safe shift point before setting shift point on tachometer. Failure to do this could lead to over-revving of engine, causing serious damage to engine and car.

To operate the Sport-Comp Shift-Lite tachometer, first determine your desired shift point (for example, 7500 rpm, see warning above). Turn on the power to the tach without starting the engine. Set the desired RPM by turning the Shift Set knob on the front of the tach, the pointer will move. Stop when it reaches the desired shift point. Turn the power off. The tach will now use the selected shift point until set differently. When the tachometer reaches your set point, the amber shift light will come on. It will stay on until the engine speed drops below the set point.

Note: Do not adjust the shift point setting while the engine is running.
Optional Tachometer Cover For tach replacement bulb order model number 3218.
Now that you have purchased your new tachometer, protect your investment from corrosive dirt and moisture. This attractive cover is constructed of durable nylon. A handy drawstring easily secures to the tachometer.

To replace old shift-lite bulb, first turn lens cover counter-clockwise and remove. Pull out old bulb and insert new one. To replace lens cover, line up locking tabs and turn clockwise.
