1.18 FUEL PROBE INST.
******************************** WARNING ******************************
DO NOT INSTALL PROBE INTO METAL MOUNTING FLANGE
WITHOUT FIRST APPLYING THREAD LUBRICANT OR DAMAGE
WILL OCCUR. INSURE ALL THREADS ARE FREE FROM BURRS AND
DEBRIS. WIRE LEADS OF PROBE ARE FRAGILE AND MUST NOT BE
PULLED, TURNED OR STRAINED IN ANY WAY OR DAMAGE WILL
RESULT AND VOID WARRANTY.
****************************************************************************
NOTE: We DO recommend that you 'test install' the probe before the
wing is closed to check for proper fit, etc. See warning above.
However, we DO NOT recommend that you leave the probe in the wing
during closing as stray resin, etc. could drip and contaminate the probe
and bushings.
For 'final installation', prepare the pipe threads of the probe with an
aviation fuel proof thread sealant / lubricant according to sealant
manufacturers' directions. Insert the probe into the tank and through the
bushings until the threads engage. Hand tighten the probe. Now tighten
the probe with a torque wrench to a maximum of 230 INCH POUNDS.
Allow the sealant time to set, if necessary, according to the sealant
manufacturers' instructions before adding fuel to the tanks.
Once the fuel level system has been installed it needs to be calibrated.
See 2.18 FUEL LEVEL SYSTEM CALIBRATION.
