- or -
EGT 1520 FF 13.8
(With FF)
Flashing cylinder I.D. box
identifies the hottest EGT and
that an EGT has increased at
least 15°F which arms the
EDM to now look for first EGT
to peak.

Stop leaning when
a column begins
flashing. You will see
LEANEST for one
second, followed by:
EGT 1545 SET
(Without FF)
- or -
EGT 1545 FF 12.4
(With FF)
Flashing cylinder I.D. box
AND its column indicates
leanest cylinder. (SET means
Set the mixture.) Due to
thermal inertia this will usually
be about -15°F down the lean
side of peak.
7
If you hold LF, peak
EGT will be displayed
while the LF button is
held down.
EGT 1560 PK

Slowly enrich mixture
noting that EGT is
returns to peak then
drops. Stop enriching
at the desired EGT.
‘Peak’: best Econ.
