Tightening the Tank Cover Gasket Screws

Refer to the figure below and the torque settings in the table above and tighten the Tank Cover

Gasket screws as follows:

Tighten screws #1 through #6 in the sequence as indicated.

Starting at the screw next to screw #6, move in a clockwise direction and tighten alternate

screws.

Repeat this pattern in a clockwise direction and tighten all remaining screws.

Note:

The three Tank Cover Gasket screws at the rear of the tank and shown below are the

most critical locations for oil leaks. Always check these screws if a leak is suspected.

Important: Do not remove screws located on the tank.

There are no field replaceable

units or required adjustments inside the tank, so there is no reason to loosen or remove any

screws on the tank.
