11.Reinstall the control cross shaft into the saddles. Make sure the new hoses do not contact the shaft. If the hose does contact the shaft, loosen the jam nut on the fitting and rotate the fitting until approximately 1/4” clearance is obtained. Secure the cross shaft with the split collars.

12.Route the 48” hoses under the control cross shaft and through the clearance opening in the battery pan near the right-hand pump, under the wiring harness and under the 5/8” supply hose.

13.Connect the return hoses to the reservoir and secure with the hose clamps previously removed.

14.Install the oil coolers in the oil cooler mount using the torx bolts and nylon nuts supplied with this kit. Make sure the hose barbs of the coolers are pointing towards the half-holes in the mount.

15.Install the left and right side cooler mount brackets to the fuel tanks using the bolts previously removed.

16.Install the oil cooler mount on the brackets, center side-to-side and secure with the torx bolts and nylon nuts previously removed.

17.Connect the hoses the the oil coolers. Connect the hose from the right side barb of the oil reservoir to the right side oil cooler and the hose from the left side barb to the left side cooler. See Figure 4 for the proper hose locations. Secure with the enclosed hose clamps.

18.Install the tie wraps as shown in Figures 4-6. Use a long tie wrap to secure the 48” hoses to the 5/8” sup- ply hose. Position the hoses so the do not contact the battery pan. Use the remaining two long tie wraps the bundle the hoses together in front of the engine. Be sure the tie wrap the hoses to the engine screen. Use the short tie wrap to secure the 25” hose to the engine oil dipstick tube. Do not over- tighten the tie wraps or collapsing the hose may result.
