Installing the First End of the Flex Tube
The Flex Tube is a flexible, black tube that attaches to an opening on the Powerside Runway on one
end and to the bottom of the Flex Tube Bracket Plate (near the Power Unit) on the other end.
The Flex Tube consolidates and protects three different Cables that come out from under the
Powerside Runway on their way to the Power Unit: The Return Line, the Air Line, and Hydraulic Hose.
The Flex Tube is about 52 in / 1,320 mm long and about 1.5 in / 38 mm wide. Both ends of the Tube
are the same.
Installation of the Flex Tube is done in two parts: the first part is completed after the Runways are
installed (now), the second part after the Power Unit (and the Flex Tube Bracket Plate) is installed later.
The following drawing shows the Flex Tube.
Side view. Not drawn to scale. Not all components shown.
To install the Flex Tube to the Powerside Runway:
1. Unscrew the Plastic Nut from one end of the Flex Tube. It does not matter which end you use.
2. Holding the Flex Tube by the Plastic Collar, put the Threads on the end of the Flex Tube through
the hole on the Powerside Runway.
The hole is about 1.5 in / 38 mm wide.
The Threads go into the holes until they are accessible from the inside, while the rest of the Flex
Tube stays outside.
3. On the inside of the Powerside Runway, screw the Plastic Nut back onto the Threads of the Flex
Tube and tighten it.
4. Let the other end of the Flex Tube hang in place for now.
