INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.
Carefully cut the tape around the vacuum harness convoluted tubing at the end closest to the coolant switch.
2.
Peel the convoluted tubing away from the nylon tubes and cut 2" from the front of the engine clip that mounts the vacuum harness to the air pump
pulley cover. Discard the cut piece of convoluted tubing.

Locate the nylon vacuum tube running from the CVSCC (CCEGR) coolant switch on the side of the water control box nearest to the white dot on
the connector.
4.
Cut the tube located in Step 3 2.5" from the CVSCC and 2.5" from the vacuum harness mounting clip. When cutting the nylon hose, use a sharp
razor so the hose won't kink. Discard the unused hose.
5.
Install the small end of the In-Line Connector, PN 4179391, on the cut end of nylon tube closest to the CVSCC. Install the small end of the Elbow
Connector, PN 4213774, on the cut end of nylon tube closest to the harness mounting clip. Orient the elbow connector such that the 3/16" end is
pointed toward the CVSCC.
