Installation Notes
Thank you for choosing FAST
®
products; we are proud to be your manufacturer of choice. Please read
this instruction sheet carefully before beginning installation, and also take a moment to review the
included limited warranty information. Contact us toll free at 1.877.334.8355, or visit us online at
www.fuelairspark.com under Tech Help with any questions.
Important!
Before beginning, install the included C-Com Sportsman software and open the help file. The
help file is the installation and instruction manual for the XFI Sportsman system.
The software is on a red and silver USB drive, not a disc. If you do not see the USB drive in the kit
box, check inside the yellow plug that protects the main connector on the XFI Sportsman ECU. You
can also download the software anytime for free by visiting www.fuelairspark.com.
To install the software, insert the USB drive into a USB port on your laptop. Navigate to it in
Windows Explorer so that you can see its contents. Double click on “FAST_Installer.exe”. Then click
on “Select Product”, “Sportsman XFI” and “Install C-Com Software”.
Once the software is installed, the help file can be accessed through the pull down menus by
selecting Help / Index. This will open a web browser window, such as Internet Explorer or Google
Chrome, but an internet connection is NOT required to view the help file.
