   *1	Tube Joint Clip
   *2	Fuel Tank Main Tube Clamp
   *3	Fuel Tube Joint
   *4	O-ring

   NOTE:

   • Check that there is no dirt or other foreign matter around the fuel tube joint before disconnecting it. Clean the joint if necessary.
   • It is necessary to prevent dirt or foreign matter from entering the joint. If dirt or foreign matter gets in the joint, the O-rings may not seal properly.
   • Only disconnect the joint by hand.
   • Do not bend, kink or twist the nylon tubes.
   • Protect the contact surfaces by covering them with plastic bags.

   *1	SST (Plate)
   *2	SST (Claw)

   • SST: 09808-14030 
     • 09808-01030
     • 09808-01040
     • 09808-01050

   HINT: 

   • Engage the SST claws securely with the fuel pump gauge retainer holes to secure SST.
   • Make sure that only 2 claws are used with SST.
2. While pressing the claws of SST to the fuel pump gauge retainer holes securely, tighten the bolts.

   HINT: 

   Install SST while pressing the SST claws toward the fuel pump gauge retainer (towards the center of SST).

3. Install the SST handle.
4. Lightly press down on SST to prevent it from separating from the retainer. While pressing SST, rotate the handle slowly to loosen the retainer.

   *1	SST (Handle)
   *2	SST (Plate)
   *3	SST (Claw)

   • SST: 09808-14030 
     • 09808-01010
     • 09808-01020
     • 09808-01030
     • 09808-01040
     • 09808-01050
   NOTE:

   • Do not use any tools other than specified in this operation. Damage to the fuel pump gauge retainer or the fuel tank may result.
   • Loosen the retainer by turning it counterclockwise while holding SST down. Do not allow the claw of the tank suction tube support to slip out of its groove on the fuel tank.
   • Make sure to rotate the SST handle horizontally. If the SST handle is rotated at an angle, SST may come off.
   • Do not spin SST too fast or use an impact wrench as this may result in damage to components.
   • If SST comes off of the retainer, loosen the SST bolts and reinstall SST.

   HINT: 

   The holes on the fuel pump gauge retainer can be fitted into the tips of SST.
