That is, as far as I am aware, the only option.
To fit it, I made a hole. extension wires were run through the hole I wired it up and slid it into the hole, along with the wires.
I wouldn't call this completely waterproof; it will shed water, but you'll want to shield the back end and wiring with a metal housing and make sure all of your connections are waterproof.
There's no way to reset it, as far as I can tell.

This statement is completely false. This was the first of two books I bought. I bought it because the one on my generator had died, and it says it's made for generators right in the description. As I discovered the hard way, it isn't the case. The majority of generator hourmeters are ac, not d, and run after the inverter. current. Obviously, it had become crispy. Rather than pursuing the issue with the seller, I contacted them directly and received detailed installation instructions, which clarified my error. I ordered a second one from the same seller and installed it directly to the estate coil, which means it runs on direct current rather than alternating current. I noticed that it was moving at a snail's pace. It had been running for more than ten minutes, but only two minutes were displayed on the screen. I then put it to the test by connecting it to a 12v battery, which confirmed my suspicion that counting a single minute takes more than 5 minutes. This adds up to hours of discrepancy, and as most of you are installing, the best way to track run time for maintenance purposes is to keep accurate records.
With only 4 hours on the clock, the ridiculous digital hour meter on my Generac GP6500 generator died. I chose this mechanical one over a digital one because I didn't want another digital. It was a perfect fit for the installation. It fit perfectly in the hole where the old one had previously been removed, with no modifications required. This one, on the other hand, is considerably more in-depth than the previous one. The power terminals initially collided with the enclosure's back. The problem was solved by bending the connectors 90 degrees, and it fit perfectly. There was no splicing of wires, no rewiring, nothing. I ran it for half an hour to make sure it was working properly, and everything was fine. Time will tell how well it stands up to engine vibration.
For the money, this is a decent hour meter. br>It looks exactly like the factory one and is simple to installbr>the only difference is that it is 1 1/2" wide, whereas the factory one is 1 1/4 wide; fortunately, my Hustler Raptor uses a generic plate with a hole the right size. The meter obscures some of the symbols, and who knows what they are? br>I don't believe there is any way to go wrong here.
Straight to the frame, I grounded the negative. The motor's accessory wire, which is a solid yellow wire that plugs into a pigtail, is tied to the positive.
It really works. Connected to the 12 volt golf cart ignition switch. Instead of chopping up the dash, I used 2 sided tape to secure it in the compartment.
It gets the job done. br>br>It took me about 10 minutes to install this on my riding mower. br>br>Excellent way to stay on top of maintenance schedules.
I cut a similar sized hole in the plastic trim area of my boat dash, and it looks and functions perfectly. What can you say about an hour meter that hasn't already been said? Oh, and it was reasonably priced.
This meter appears to be well-made and is simple to set up. For the brief time it has been in use, it has performed admirably.
