1. Install the rear mount, then tighten the bolts.





2. Install the front mount, then tighten the bolts.





3. Install the side engine mount, then tighten the bolts on the engine side.

NOTE: Do not tighten the mount bolt.

- After assembling fuel line parts, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump operates for approximately two seconds and the fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, and check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
