III. For tank depths of 16'' to 21'' no disassembly of the sender bracket is
necessary.
1. Loosen two screws "d'' and adjust the plastic housing up or down until the
proper dimension from Table 1 is obtained, then retighten screws
securely.
IV. To install the float assembly, loosen screw "h'', remove the short piece of rod,
and discard. Insert the float rod until the proper length "c'' from Table 1 is met,
and then tighten the screw securely. Carefully cut off any excess rod with bolt
cutter or similar tool, taking care not to damage the assembly.
NOTE: Make sure the float is installed as shown in Fig.1. If installed backwards,
the fuel gauge will indicate "full'' when the tank is empty, and "empty'' when the
tank is full.
1.
Cut the sender bracket so it doesn't extend lower than the black rheostat
assembly. The rheostat should be the lowest point of the fuel sender.
2.
With the gasket in place below the flange, carefully feed the float arm and
sender body into the 1.697'' (43mm) hole in the tank. Make certain the
float arm has free motion within the tank. Using the sender flange as a
template, locate the position of the five mounting holes. Use the supplied
screws to mount into the tank with threaded inserts in place.
3.
Insert fuel sender assembly into tank, align holes and thread in mounting
screws. Check that all screws are secure to complete assembly.
4.
Connect the center terminal of the sender to your fuel gauge's signal
terminal. Connect the off-center terminal to a good chassis ground.
AVOID OVERTIGHTENING.
