Support the tank and tank mount assembly in place on the
outside of the frame behind the radius arm mount (Figure 4.1).
□
Adjust the position of the rear tank mount bracket for best fit and
to ensure that the tank will be level when mounted and to provide
adequate clearance for hose connections and filter installation.
□
Mark the position of the c-clamps on the tank and the position of
the brackets on the frame. Remove the tank assembly and place
it back on the workbench.

Install the 5/16" x1/2" lower c-clamp bolts and tighten all
remaining c-clamps mounting bolts.

Lift the tank and tank mount brackets into position and install the
5/16

Apply Loctite and thread the top bolt into the rear tank mount
bracket. Ensure the tank clip is hooked over the backside of the
frame and no wires or tubes are pinched or trapped (Figure 4.2).
□
Install the tank clip so it hooks around the back of the frame.
Insert the threaded end through the appropriate hole in the
bottom of the rear tank strap. Apply
Loctite and start the flange
nut on the tank clip (Figure 4.2).
□
If necessary, reposition the tank on the frame to provide
adequate clearance for hose connections and filter installation.
When the tank is correctly positioned ensure all bolts are torqued
to specification.
4.2 Installing the Hoses
All hoses, tubes, and wires that are rerouted or shifted
during installation must be secure so that they do not
contact excessively hot areas or sharp edges. Where
possible, use rubber coated P-clips. Follow the routing
suggestions in this manual and cover all hoses with the
supplied plastic loom.
