ECA
NOTICE
Handle electrical components with special 
care, and do not subject them to strong 
shocks.
ECA
NOTICE
Electrical components are very sensitive to 
and can be damaged by static electricity. 
Therefore, never touch the terminals and be 
sure to keep the contacts clean.
TIP
Push and hold the engine stop switch to turn off 
the multi-function display when resetting the 
ECU (Electronic Control Unit). Disconnect the 
starter motor lead of the starter relay, and then 
push the starter switch. Be sure to wait for five 
seconds or longer before pushing the start 
switch after the multi-function display goes off.Checking the electrical system
TIP
Before checking the electrical system, make 
sure that the battery voltage is at least 12 V.
ECA
NOTICE
Never insert the tester probes into the cou-
pler terminal slots. Always insert the probes 
from the opposite end “a” of the coupler, 
taking care not to loosen or damage the 
leads.
ECA
NOTICE
For waterproof couplers, never insert the 
tester probes directly into the coupler. 
When performing any checks using a water-
proof coupler, use the specified test har-
ness or a suitable commercially available 
test harness.

MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAYEWA
WARNING
Be sure to stop the machine before making 
any setting changes to the multi-function 
display.
The multi-function display is equipped with the 
following:
BASIC MODE:
• Speedometer
•Clock
• Two tripmeters (which shows the distance 
that has been traveled since it was last set to 
zero)
RACE MODE:
• Timer (which shows the time that has been 
accumulated since the start of timer measure-
ment)
• Tripmeter (which shows the accumulated 
travel distance in timer measurement)
• Change tripmeter digits (capable of change to 
any given ones)

Changing speedometer display (for U.K.)
1. Push the “SLCT2” button for 2 seconds or 
more to change the speedometer units. The 
speedometer display will change in the fol-
lowing order:
MPH  km/h  MPH.
Setting the time
1. Push the “SLCT1” button for 2 seconds or 
more to enter the time setting mode.
2. Push the “RST” button to change the display 
for time indication. The display will change in 
the following order:
HourMinuteSecondHour.
TIP

3. Push the “SLCT1” button (plus) or “SLCT2” 
button (minus) and change the time. A long 
push on the button will fast-forward the time.
4. To end the setting, push the “RST” button for 
2 seconds or more.
TIP
• In a 30-second absence of button operation, 
the setting will come to an end with the indi-
cated time.
• To reset the seconds, push the “SLCT1” but-
ton or “SLCT2” button.
Changing odometer and tripmeter A/B 
(TRIP A/B)
TIP
• The odometer will lock at 99999.
• The tripmeter will reset and continue counting 
after 999.9 is reached.
1. Push the “SLCT2” button to change the trip-
meter display. The display will change in the 
following order:
OdometerTRIP ATRIP BTRIP A 
Odometer.
TIP
To reset the digits, select the tripmeter involved 
and push the “RST” button for 2 seconds or 
more.
EAS2GBB045CHANGEOVER TO BASIC MODE/RACE 
MODE
TIP
• Measurement using the timer function can be 
made in RACE MODE.
• Indicator   will light up as an identifier that 
shows RACE MODE has been selected.
• RACE MODE cannot display the functions as 
in BASIC MODE.
• Changeover to RACE MODE forces the digits 
for tripmeter A (TRIP A) in BASIC MODE to be 
reset.
Changeover from BASIC MODE to RACE 
MODE
1. Push the “SLCT1” button and “SLCT2” but-
ton for 2 seconds or more at the same time 
to change over to RACE MODE.
TIP
Changeover to RACE MODE will put manual 
start measurement on standby causing   and 
 to flash. (For manual start, refer to “Putting 
measurement on standby” in “RACE MODE”.)

3. Run the machine and start timer measure-
ment.
4. To stop timer measurement, pushing the 
“SLCT1” button and “SLCT2” button at the 
same time.
TIP
If the machine is run while timer measurement 
is not made, no change will occur to the digit in 
tripmeter A (TRIP A).
5. To resume the measurement, again pushing 
the “SLCT1” button and “SLCT2” button at 
the same time.
Resetting measurement data
TIP
Resetting can be made in the following two 
manners.
Resetting is possible while timer measurement 
is made:
• Reset tripmeter A.
Resetting is possible while timer measurement 
is not made:
• Reset tripmeter A and timer.Resetting tripmeter A (TRIP A)
1. Check that the timer is in operation. If the 
timer is not in operation, start the timer by 
pushing the “SLCT1” button and “SLCT2” 
button at the same time.
2. Reset tripmeter A (TRIP A) display by push-
ing the “RST” button for 2 seconds or more.
TIP
If reset,   and travel distance display will go on 
flashing for four seconds.
Resetting tripmeter A (TRIP A) and timer
1. Check that the timer is not in operation. If the 
timer is in operation, stop it by pushing the 
“SLCT1” button and “SLCT2” button at the 
same time.
2. Reset all measured data by pushing the 
“RST” button for 2 seconds or more.
TIP
• Resetting will reset the timer display and trav-
el distance display and put measurement on 
standby.
• Auto start attempt will put measurement on 
standby as such. Likewise, manual start at-
tempt will put measurement on standby as 
such.
