place.
(11) Fold fuel cell into a manageable form and withdraw it through the access opening at top of wing.
E. Molded Nipple Fittings Installation
The lightweight molded nipple fitting was developed for ease of installation. To receive the best ser-
vice from this type fitting, it is necessary to exercise certain precautions during installation.
(1) Unless otherwise specified, insert tubing into fitting until end is flush with inside edge of nipple.
(2) Hose clamp must clear end of fitting by 1/4 inch where possible.
(3) Locate hose clamp on fabric reinforced area of nipple.
(4) Do not use sealing paste or gasket compound.
(5) Use lightweight motor oil to facilitate insertion of tubing into nipple.
F. Fuel Cell Compartment
(1) Clean compartment thoroughly of all filings, trimmings, loose washers, nuts, bolts and etc.
(2) Round off all sharp edges. Where this is not possible tape over all sharp edges or rough rivets.
