6. Connect the vent hose (A) and gasline hose (B) to the
proper fittings; then connect the fuel pump/fuel level
sensor connector (C) to the main harness.

7. Position the floorboard into the vehicle and secure with
the appropriate hardware; then install the center console,
seat-bases, and seats making sure the seats lock securely.
Gas/Vent Hoses
Replace the gas hose every two years. Damage from aging
may not always be visible. Do not bend or obstruct the rout-
ing of the vent hoses. Make certain the vent hoses are
securely connected and the opposite ends are always open.
Oil Filter/Oil Pump
NOTE: Whenever internal engine components wear
excessively or break and whenever oil is contami-
nated, the oil pump should be replaced.
TESTING OIL PUMP PRESSURE
(XT/XTX)
NOTE: The engine must be warmed up to operating
temperature (cooling fan cycling) for this test.
1. Remove the seats and center console; then remove
the left-side seat-base.
2. Tilt the cargo box back.
3. Remove the upper plug from the base of the oil filter;
then using an appropriate adapter, connect an oil
pressure gauge to the engine.
CF264A
NOTE: Some oil seepage may occur when installing
the oil pressure gauge. Wipe up oil residue with a cloth.
4. Set the parking brake and start the engine. Allow the
engine to warm up to operating temperature (with
cooling fan cycling).
5. Set the speedometer/tachometer to RPM. With the
engine running at 3000 RPM, the pressure gauge
must show 0.6-0.7 kg/cm
2
(8.5-10 psi), on the XT or
1.2-1.5 kg/cm
2
(17-21 psi) on the XTX.
6. Install the left-side seat-base; then install the center
console and seats making sure the seats lock
securely.
NOTE: If the oil pressure is lower than specified,
check for an oil leak, damaged oil seal, or defective
oil pump.
NOTE: If the oil pressure is higher than specified,
check for too heavy engine oil weight (see General
Information - Gasoline - Oil - Lubricant), clogged oil
passage, clogged oil filter, or improper installation of
the oil filter.
TESTING OIL PUMP PRESSURE (XTZ)
NOTE: The engine must be warmed up to operating
temperature (cooling fan cycling) for this test.
1. Remove both seats and center console; then remove
the oil hose from the fitting nearest the oil filter base.
