3.ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

3.1Uncrate unit, and remove upper handle assembly, fuel tank, and linkages from top of crate.

3.2Remove and open the bolt bag.

3.3Loosen the 5/16" hardware at the two (2) discharge deflector hinge points so that the deflector is snug, but can be moved up and down freely.

3.4Refer to Parts Manual to help you identify and locate parts and their proper position.

3.5Apply retaining adhesive “Fel-Pro Retaining I or Retaining II” or “Loctite RC609 or 680” on the two threaded studs from the bolt bag and install into the two left holes underneath fuel tank. Install the fuel tank on top of the fuel tank support with the studs going through the slots in the support. Install two 5/16-18 x 3/4” screws with a 5/16” SAE flatwasher and 5/16” lockwasher into the threaded holes in the right side of the fuel tank. Do not over tighten. Place a 5/16” SAE flatwasher, then a spring, over each of the studs and fasten with a 5/16 nyloc nut. Tighten 3/16 nylock nut fully then cack off a 1/2 turn. This is to allow for normal fuel tank expansion with changes in temperature and fuel levels.

3.6Attach the fuel tank hose to the tank fitting and secure with the clamp provided. Make sure that fuel hose is not between engine and throttle plate on engine.

3.7Position the lower end of the handle assembly on the outside of the upper rear section of the fuel tank & handle support. Install four 3/8-16 x 1" bolts (with four spring disk washers against the head of each bolt) from the outside in. Secure using four 3/8" whizlock nuts on the inside of each handle support and tighten until the spring disk washers are flat (See Figure 1).
