8. Attach a Pitts-style muffler to the engine using
threadlocking compound.
Install the Fuel Tank (glow)
o
1. Locate the
fuel tank. The hardware needed for the fuel
tank assembly is inside of the tank. Remove the stopper and
shake out the contents.
o
2. The fuel system for the Edge 540 1.60 ARF utilizes a
three line system. There is a
fill line, carb line, and vent
line (to muffler). The fill line will allow fueling and defueling
without removing the cowl. The fill line is optional and may be
omitted if desired, or an optional Great Planes Easy Fueler
Valve (not included) can be installed.
o
3. Use a hobby knife to open up the sealed third hole in
the rubber stopper for the fill line. Slide the three aluminum
fuel tubes into the rubber stopper so that the tubes extend
beyond the front of the stopper by 1/2" [13mm]. If you are
installing a fueler valve or are omitting the fill line, install only
two tubes into the stopper (one short tube and one long tube)
leaving the third hole in the stopper sealed.
o
4. Install the metal plates on the front and back of the
stopper and loosely thread the 3mm x 25mm phillips screw
through the plates. Attach a silicone
fuel line 6" [152mm] in
length to each of the two short tubes in the stopper. The long
tube (vent line) should be bent upward as shown (be careful
not to kink the tube while bending it). Install the included fuel
clunks onto the fuel lines.

5. Insert the stopper into the tank and check the length of
the carb line and fill line. The clunks should almost reach the
back of the tank when the stopper is in place but be able to
move around freely inside the tank. Adjust the length of the
fuel line until the proper length has been reached. The vent
line should almost reach the top of the tank. Once you are
satisfied with the fit, secure the stopper using the phillips
screw in the stopper assembly. Be careful not to over-tighten
as the fuel tank could split.
