Gas Spring and Rubber Stopper Installation
Using the supplied clevis pins, E-
clips and washers, attach the
cylinder side of each gas spring to
the tank cover mounting brackets.
Proper orientation of the gas spring
during assembly is critical.
Raise the tank cover to the up
position and attach the opposite
side of the gas spring to the
support bracket. Repeat this step with the second gas spring and tank cover.
Lower both tank covers. Using the supplied phillips head screws, attach the
supplied rubber bumpers onto the two inner holes on splash back. Secure
phillips head screws into the remaining holes in the splash back.
10 Drain Screen Installation
Place the supplied drain screens into the drain opening of each tank.
11 Final Test
Raise each tank cover until they stop in the open (up) position. The covers should
stay in the up position on their own.
Move both tank covers to the closed position by pulling on the tank cover handle
until they reach the tank.
Assure that the tank cover seats itself correctly along the tank sides and front
while in the closed position.
