dowel

Gap

9.2.4 Install Bridge Assembly

CAUTION

Match drop numbers stamped on bridge during assembly.

CAUTION

NOTE

Bridge mounting screws should be torqued 1/3 higher than specified on the 

General Assembly drawing.

1. 

Measure and confirm locator height as specified on General Assembly 

drawing.

2.  Align bridge to sub-manifold and locate on manifold locator.
3.  Take care not to pinch the wires.
4.  Remove any installation tools used.
5.  Apply anti-seize compound to the bridge screws.
6.  Torque bridge screws in a crossing pattern gradually increasing torque to 

specified value. Refer to the General Assembly drawing for torque values.

7. 

Measure and confirm drop height as specified on General Assembly 

drawing.

8.  Repeat for each drop.
