INSPECTION

INSTRUCTIONS

Chock the motor home wheels prior to starting the repair.

 

Locate the leveling pump bracket (approximately) in the center of the motor home between the frame rails.

 

  1. Using a ¾” socket and wrench, remove the exhaust hanger bolts and the rear hangers bolts “Circled” in picture shown to gain access to the work area.

 

  1. Install the flat hanger bracket at the rear of the exhaust as shown in the picture to the right.

 

  1. Loosen tail pipe U-bolt. Pull the exhaust pipe out approximately 3-4” so you can access the frame rail with a drill.  Tighten the U-bolt enough to keep it out of the way during the drilling process.

 

  1. Using a center punch, mark the bottom rail 1” in from the edge of the rail and centered under the pump bracket.

 

Using a drill with a 1/4” bit, drill a pilot hole through the frame and continuing through the existing pump bracket.

 

NOTE:  Make sure all wiring is clear of the drill bit as it  clears the pump bracket.

 

Using the drill and a 7/16” drill bit, drill through the 1/4” pilot hole, again making sure you miss the wiring with the drill bit.

 

  1. Check to see if there is a gap between the frame rail and the pump bracket. If there is a gap, install shim(s) provided in the gap. The number of shims required will vary depending on the size of the gap. If there is no gap, no shims are required.

 

  1. Position the new bracket support over the bracket and frame rail; the notch (A) in the picture, should be tight against the frame rail.

 

  1. Install the 7/16” bolt and flat washer from the top of the pump bracket. Install the flat washer; lock washer and nut on the bolt.

 

  1. Using the 3/4” socket on the nut and the open-end wrench on the bolt head, tighten the nut. Make sure the nut is tight and at least two threads protrude past the nut.

 

  1. Using the holes in the bracket support as a template, drill (4) 3/8” Dia. holes into the existing pump bracket. Install (4) 3/8” bolts, washers and nuts. Using a 9/16” socket on the nut, and the open-end wrench on the bolt head, tighten the (4) nuts. Make sure they are tight.

 

  1. Loosen the U-bolt on the exhaust pipe and return the pipe to the original position. Re-install both hanger bolts.  Tighten both hanger bolts and the U-bolt.  Make sure the nuts on all parts are tight.
