Description of Change: A new waterproof tachometer is now available.

Adaptable To: The 119-7248 Tachometer has been replaced by the 149-7208 Tachometer/Service Gauge Gp. The 149-7208 Tachometer/Service Gauge Gp is a part of the 246-3256 Parts Kit (TACHOMETER).

The 246-1435 Cover will deflect water from the tachometer on engines that are used in irrigation systems. Also, the 246-1435 Cover can be used on the 125-0845 Box. The 246-1435 Cover can be installed before the 119-7248 Tachometer needs to be replaced.The new 149-7208 Tachometer/Service Gauge Gp is a waterproof unit.

Note: The 149-7208 Tachometer/Service Gauge Gp also provides an emergency stop command to the engine in case of an engine overspeed.
