Upper Body Installation
1.
Install the rear seats and all trim to the upper body.
3.
Install all gauges and indicator lights.
5.
On 6x6 Vanguards manufactured prior to S7304, fasten the back rest pad to the upper
body. See Replacing the Backpad in this section of the service guide.
6.
Route and secure the fuel tank vent tubing to the nylon clips that are riveted to the
upper body. The vent tube runs from the filler neck hole, to the rear of lower body.
8.
Place the upper body onto the vehicle. Connect the vent tubing to the filler neck and
insert the filler neck through the upper body.
Ensure that the vent line is not pinched, or becomes kinked anywhere along the
length between filler neck and rear outlet fitting. Vehicle performance can be
drastically affected when fuel tank venting becomes restricted.
The vent tubing for the fuel system is attached to the metal filler neck. Caution
should be observed as not to damage the outlet nipple that is welded to the metal
neck assembly on older model Argos (See IMPORTANT below). Any bending or
kinking of this small tube will prevent the tank from venting, causing serious
performance issues later on.
