INSTRUCTIONS – Install LP Support Brackets  (2)

 

FIG 1:

• Open the LP tank compartment door of the vehicle.

 

FIG 2:

• Brackets from Parts Kit, with tape applied around the top (back & front), and around each small tab (top side contacting the LP tank rail). The tape is required to prevent galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals. DO NOT REMOVE TAPE FROM BRACKETS.
• Brackets are identical. It does not matter at which end of the tank they are mounted.

 

FIG 3:

• Place the support bracket up from underneath and between the two aluminum tubes that support the LP tank. The two small tabs of the support bracket must be in contact with the underside of the LP tank support rails.

 

NOTE: When placing the bracket up between the rails; make sure the two tabs at the bottom fit flush up against the mounting rails.  If the tabs hit the rail support L bracket, you may have to rotate the LP support bracket 180 degrees so the tabs will fit flush against the support rails.  

 

FIG 4:

• Install two Hex screws from the parts kit in the top holes of the support bracket.

 

FIG 5:

• Install one Hex screw from the parts kit, up underneath each of the bottom tabs (2) of the support bracket and into the LP tank support rail. (Total of 4 Hex screws for each support bracket) FIG 6:
• Place the second support bracket up between the LP tank mounting rails on the opposite end of the LP tank as shown.

 

FIG 7:

• Install 2 Hex screws from the parts kit, into the two holes on the top of the bracket. Make sure the bottom 2 tabs of the bracket are up against the underside of the support tubes before securing the upper screws.

 

FIG 8:

• Install one Hex screw from the parts kit up underneath each of the bottom tabs (2) of the support bracket and into the LP support rail. (Total of 4 Hex screws for each support bracket)
