3. Removing the float and re bending the arm around the float is not as easy as it sounds and therefore we recommend that the bend around the float is maintained removing a centre section of the arm instead Important Ensure that the fuel sender float does not reach the top or bottom the tank before the float arm has reached its full span of travel For example if the fuel sender float hits the top of the tank before reaching its end stop the fuel gauge will never read full Important It is advisable to allow a gap between the bottom of the tank and the lowest point of travel of the Fuel sender float unit in order to provide a reserve quantity of fuel after the gauge reads empty Version 1 06 Page 46 DigiDash LITE Manual Instruments LTD 2008 10 Appendix 5 Lap Trigger Alignment ITEM i P euius UNS 41966113 de JI 11 ALL BY uo 5 yun y uns eu dois enjeA euun ejqeue panys si uooeeq JNOA Sul pue 5 y 850402 poaurp pue Ays y SI UNS y UBYM 5 j eaJ uiejqoud 94 umop pan ajqiissod pue jejuozuou dej dee Ai y
