Installing the Fuel Tank - Steel, Rectangle, 65 Gallon - (Option)
Fuel Tank Installation
1. Install the L-brackets with six, (installer supplied) 1/2-13 screws,
washers and locking nuts onto the front wall of the container or trailer.
Torque the hardware to 81 to 88 N•m (60-65 ft-lb.).
2. Clean the inside surfaces of the L-brackets and install the 710 mm
(27.95 in.) self-adhesive rubber pads. Slide the 813 mm (32.00 in.)
rubber strips onto the support straps.
3. Position and center the tank onto the L-brackets.
4. Install the T-bolts on the support straps into the upper and lower holes
of the L-brackets with the supplied 1/2'' washers and locking nuts.
Verify the rubber pads and strips are properly positioned on the L-
brackets and straps to prevent any metal to metal contact before hand
tightening the mounting hardware. Leave the nuts finger-tight on the
threads.
5. 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
