Installing the Fuel Tank - Aluminum, L-Shaped, 65 Gallon - (Option)
Fuel Tank Installation
1. Install the tank mounting brackets with six, (installer supplied) 1/2-13
screws, washers and locking nuts onto the front wall. Torque the
hardware to 81 to 88 N•m (60-65 ft-lb.).
2. Clean the inside surfaces of the mounting brackets and support straps.
Install the 711 mm (28.00') long rubber strips onto the mounting
brackets and the 635 mm (25.00'') long rubber strips onto the support
straps.
3. Install and center the tank onto the mounting brackets.
4. Install the mounting straps with T-bolts onto the upper holes of the
mounting bracket with the supplied 1/2'' washers and locking nuts.
Verify the rubber strips are properly installed on the mounting straps
and straps are aligned with the strap guides on the top of the tank.
Leave the nuts finger-tight on the threads.
5. Install the support straps to the lower mounting holes of each mounting
bracket with the supplied 1/2-13 x 1.50'' long bolts, flat washers and
locking nuts. Leave the nuts finger-tight on the threads.
6. Tighten the lower nuts first to 44.5 N•m (33 ft-lb.) or until 2 full threads
are exposed through the locking material of the nut, then tighten the
upper nuts to 44.5 N•m (33 ft-lb.).
NOTE: At least two full threads must be exposed after 44.5 N•m
(33 ft-lb.) is applied. If not, tighten the nuts until two full threads
project through the locking material of the nuts.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten the mounting hardware or damage
to the tank will result.
