end of the cable to the threaded plug on the panel.
Connect the transducer cord to the push-turn plug on the
panel.
NOTE: Before proceeding with a running check, it is
recommended that an injection pump static (engine
stopped) timing check be made.
5.
Start the engine and check for fuel leaks.
6.
Attain operating temperature.
7.
Perform the speed and timing checks as follows:
(See OPERATION, this section).
a.
Turn power on by moving the "TACH-OFF
T. LIGHT" to the "TACH" position. Red
power supply light will be on.
b.
Check
calibration
as
described
in
OPERATION, this section.
c.
Put "TACH. ADVANCE" switch to "TACH."
position. Adjust engine speed to indicate
700 RPM as shown in PERFORMANCE
DATA GUIDELINES, Section 6.
d.
Put the "TACH-OFF T. LIGHT" switch to
the "T. LIGHT" position. Move the "TACH.
ADVANCE" switch to the "ADVANCE"
position. Rotate "ADVANCE" knob as
directed in OPERATION, this section, to
obtain timing.
e.
Switch the "TACH-OFF T. LIGHT" and
"TACH.
ADVANCE"
to
the
"TACH"
positions. Adjust engine speed to specified
total pump timing speed for the particular
application (see PERFORMANCE DATA
GUIDELINES, Section 6).
f.
Move the "TACH-OFF T. LIGHT" and
"TACH ADVANCE" switch to "T-LIGHT"
and "ADVANCE" respectively. Rotate
"ADVANCE"
knob
as
directed
in
OPERATION,
this
section,
to
obtain
injection
pump
timing
(Degrees
of
Advance).
Compare
readings
with
specifications.
IMPORTANT
IF THERE IS A QUESTION OF TIMING
LIGHT ACCURACY FLOW TIME THE
PUMP AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 5.
FLOW TIMING IS ACCOMPLISHED
WITH- OUT REMOVING THE PUMP

CURRENT MODEL
DESCRIPTION
The diesel timing and tachometer instrument (Figure 5)
is a solid state electronic instrument used to dynamically
measure fuel injection pump timing and automatic
advance in degrees. This instrument also reads engine
RPM from cranking to high idle speeds. The 14 mm
Split-Nut Transducer No. CT-4000-13 is used for 400
Series On- Highway and OEM Engines.
