□
Insert the 1/4 and 3/16 inch tubes into the fittings on the back of
the tank and cover them with high temperature loom. Route them
through the frame up to the compressor and connect them to the
matching fittings on the compressor inlet valve.
□
Secure all hoses together and in place using plastic ties at
regular intervals along the frame, other harnesses or the cross-
member so that they do not touch exhaust parts or any moving
parts.
□
Apply a light coat of oil to the gasket and install the filter on the
tank. Tighten the filter an additional 3/4
– 1 turn after the gasket
contacts the base. Adjust the swivel fittings and hoses on the
tank as necessary to provide clearance for the oil filter. Tighten
the swivel fittings and hose fittings.
□
Reposition the tank on the frame (if necessary) and tighten the
cable clamps. Thread a second nut on each cable and tighten it
against the first nut to act as a lock.
5.4 Completing the Installation
□
Open the harness securing clips and reposition the harness so
that when the harness clip is pushed into the hole in the L-
bracket, the harness will be clear of the 3/4 inch compressor
hose.
□
Tie the wire harness back from the compressor hose using nylon
ties to ensure that it will not touch the hose.
□
Install the supplied radiator hose (with connector) to the top
coolant pipe and the modified top radiator hose with the short
end to the radiator and the long end to the connector (Figure
5.8). Tighten the hose clamps. The hose may require slight
modifications to clear the compressor, drive pulley and belt.
□
Place the supplied fan spacer in position and install and tighten
the fan.
