3. Cut a piece of 1/4" [6.4mm] foam rubber (not included)
to a size of 2" x 4-3/8" [51mm x 111mm] to line the top of the
fuel tank tray. The purpose of the foam rubber is to dampen
the vibrations from the engine to help prevent the fuel from
foaming.
❏
4. Take a close look at the fuel tank, making note of the
three colored fuel lines. The pink line is the vent line and is
connected to the muffl er to provide pressure to the fuel tank.
The green line is the fi ll line and should remain plugged with
the included fuel line plug. The plug is removed to fi ll and
empty the fuel tank using your fuel pump (not included). The
blue line is the carb line and is connected to the fuel inlet
on your engine (be sure to read and fully understand the
instruction manual of your glow engine). A plywood spacer
disk is included to fi t around the neck of the fuel tank as shown.
Also, before installing the tank, confi rm that the screw in the
stopper is tight (do not apply excessive force to the screw as
it may damage the tank).
❏
5. Fit the fuel tank neck through the hole in the fi rewall and
push it forward as far as it will go. Pull the strap ends tightly
around the top of the fuel tank and connect the mating ends
(be sure the strap sides are aligned in the notches in the tray).
❏
6. Locate the aluminum engine mount, four 6-32 x 3/4"
[19mm] machine screws, four #6 fl at washers and four #6 lock
washers. Slide a lock washer followed by a fl at washer onto
each screw. Apply a couple drops of thread locking compound
onto the threads of each screw. Install the engine mount onto
the fi rewall with the screws. Take care not to cross-thread the
screws. If it feels like a screw is going in with resistance, back
it out, ensure that it is going in straight and try it again. Confi rm
that all four screws are adequately tightened against the mount.
