This tee splits the flow into two directions, one for the front and one for the rear.
Depending on your lift, these outlets will need to be split again to each nozzle previously
mounted near each tire. You can shorten the tubing later if desired.
With the 1
st
tee in position, install another piece of tubing to one of the open ends of the
1
st
tee and plan where an additional (2
nd
) tee will be installed to split the spray to each
rear wheel. Cut the tubing and install the 2
nd
tee.
*Note, Reference the System Layout on page 5 for the suggested tee configuration.

Next, starting at one of the rear wheel nozzles located on either side of the lift, attach the
black ¼” tubing to the spray nozzle push
-fit fitting. Route the tubing up the body of the
forklift to the location of the 2
nd
tee installed in the previous step. Be sure to route the
tubing so that it is least likely to be damaged, kinked or smashed. Leave a couple inches
of extra tubing near the nozzle to allow minor adjustments to the nozzle location. Secure
the tubing with the magnetic tie holders and ties (figure 16) and cut the tubing to length.
Connect it to either side of the 2
nd
branch T.
Repeat for the rear wheel on the other side and connect to the other end of the 2
nd
branch T. At this point, the installation of the rear spray nozzles and tubing is complete,
and you can now install the tubing for the front nozzles.
13.
Starting at the front of the lift, follow the direction you used to install the sensor cable
and thread the tubing through the plastic ties that where loosely tied when installing the
sensor cable in step 7. Continue to route the tubing and connect it to the remaining open
end of the 1
st
tee. This should complete the plumbing on the rear of the lift. At this point
it is a good idea to again check for interference with inspection covers and/or seat
movement. Once you have ensured that the cable and tubing are correctly routed you
may tighten the plastic ties to secure both the sensor cable and the tubing. Connect the
