Note:
If a screw thread is stripped in one
of the mounting holes for special
self-threading screws, the tank
housing can be repaired by
installing a thread insert. The
stripped thread must be drilled out
to a diameter of 8.5 mm and a depth
of 15 mm.
Important:
Do not exceed the specified hole
depth of 15 mm.
– Fit M6x10 screw with washer in
the thread insert.
Screw the thread insert into the
tank housing. Use an M6x18 pan
head screw in place of the
original special self-threading
screw.
In order not to damage the manifold
when fitting it through the tank
housing intake opening, use the
following procedure:
Wind a piece of string (approx.
15 cm long) around the back of
the manifold flange, then press
the manifold downward and pass
the ends of the string through the
intake opening.
Push the tank housing against
the manifold and pull the ends of
the string outward at the same
time.
