Locate the front bumper/fender support
brace from underneath the front passen-
ger’s side fender well. (See Fig. 4-a.)

Remove the two screws securing the
brace, then remove the brace.

Using an adel clamp mount the supplied
water pump to the triangle water tank. (See
Fig. 4-b.)

Drill through the two 1/2"NPT ports in the
water reservoir if necessary. Be careful not
to contact the threads. Blow out any debris
from inside the tank. Install a supplied
Ø3/4" x 90° brass fitting in each threaded
hole. Use thread sealant on the threads to
help prevent leakage.

Connect the pump inlet to the bottom 90°
brass fitting with the supplied 4" x 12" rub-
ber hose. Fit the hose, then cut it to length.
(See Fig. 4-b.)

Mount the pump/tank assembly to the sup-
plied mounting bracket with the supplied
1/4-20 x .50" SHCS. (See Fig. 4-c.)

G. Using the factory hardware mount the

entire pump/tank assembly into the fender
well in place of the factory support. (See
Fig. 4-d.) It may be necessary to bend the
horn out of the way to gain clearance.
