Manual
Be alert for:
• CLD: shock cooling alarm is set to -60°F. Average cool rates of 
-40°F/minute to –60°F/minute are normal, depending on the 
engine size.
Common Misapplications
Some of the more common misapplications made by first-time EDM-760 
users are presented here in an attempt to help you avoid similar problems.
Problem Cause Correction
finds a premature 
“false” peak. 
Failure to pre-lean before 
performing LeanFind.
Follow the pre-lean 
procedure on page 
13.
Pausing during leaning. Lean continuously, do 
not pause.
Retarding mixture too 
slowly.
Lean more quickly.
Peak not found Leaning too quickly. Lean at the speed of 
approx. 10°F per sec.
Off-scale EGT bars, 
too high or low
EDM-760 is in the 
Normalize view and later 
observe off-scale EGT bar 
readings.
Set to Percentage 
view
First cylinder to peak 
is not the hottest
This is normal. The first 
to cylinder peak is 
unrelated to the hottest.
EGTs rise during 
single magneto check
This is normal, due to 
incomplete combustion 
persisting longer.
EGTs not uniform 
during low power 
operation
This is normal. Fuel and air 
distribution is not optimal at low 
power settings.
