SAFETY GUIDELINES!
NOTE: Proper location of the Raptor on the vehicle is essential. Consider hazards presented to the equipment by road debris and the elements.
WARNING! Please be sure to chock the vehicle’s tires to prevent rolling.
WARNING Disconnect the battery cables to both batteries before proceeding with the Raptor Fuel Pump installation.
IMPORTANT Use diesel fuel compatible thread sealer on all NPT tapered pipe thread fuel fitting connections!
CAUTION: Vehicle frame rails should not be drilled into or welded upon.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when operating power tools such as drills and grinders or when using a punch or chisel.
CAUTION: Use common sense when routing fuel lines and electrical harnesses. Keep them away from hot exhaust components and/or moving parts. Properly secure lines to prevent chaffing.

Section 4 Raptor Fuel Pump & Mounting Brackets
Mounting the Bracket and Raptor Pump to the Truck’s Frame
NOTE: The Raptor can be mounted on either the inside or the outside of the frame. Mounting inside the frame will give more protection from road debris.
4-1. Assemble the Raptor to the mounting bracket as shown (Fig. 2). Hold the assembly next to selected location on the frame to check for clearance. Adjust the Raptor up or down on the mounting bracket as necessary. To clear fuel lines or wiring on the frame, use the spacer block as necessary.
4-2. Loose assemble the mounting bracket, with pump attached, to the frame with the backing plate using 3/8” x 4 ½” bolts, lock washers, and nuts included in the kit.. After
positioning the bracket, properly torque the fasteners.

Lubricate the hose barb Push the fuel line completely with oil. on the hose barb.
5A-4. Install a -8 Swivel x 1/2" Push Lock fitting on each end of the new fuel line. 5A-5. Connect one end of the new line to the Raptor “OUT” port (Ref. Fig. 5).
5A-6. Carefully route the fuel line to the filter canister. Connect the -8 swivel to the “In” port fitting on the filter canister. (Ref. Figs. 4A & B). Properly torque the fitting.
Section 5B: Connecting the Raptor to the Fuel Tank.
5B-1 Remove the original fuel suction line from fuel tank by squeezing the tabs on the end of the connector together.
Figure 6 Figure 7
(In more detail)
To release the original fuel supply line from the fuel tank suction tube, center and firmly push the factory Quick Connect fitting against the suction tube. While firmly holding the plastic retainer ring onto the fitting, depress and hold the plastic ring. Now, pull the quick release fitting from the suction tube. It can be difficult to disconnect the fitting if the retainer is cocked and not held perfectly square to the tank suction tube.
Important: After removing the factory line check to make sure that the blue plastic retainer was removed from the suction tube with the line. If the blue retainer remains attached to the tank suction tube, the new Raptor fuel supply line Quick Connect will not properly seat.

Section 7 Final Check List
INITIAL START PROCEDURE
7-1 Turn the starter key to the on/run position.
Note: It may be necessary to momentarily engage the starter for the ECM to energize the
Raptor Fuel Pump
7-2 While the Raptor Fuel Pump is on, bleed the fuel line to the filter canister by loosening the fuel line connection at the canister. As soon as the line is purged of air and fuel is observed, properly tighten the fuel fitting. NOTE: put a rag or shop towel over and around the fitting to prevent splatter. Catch all spilled fuel and dispose of properly.
7-3 Start engine!
Adjusting the Pressure Regulator
7-4 To adjust the fuel pressure, if necessary, first loosen the lock nut on the regulator body adjustment screw . Using a flat blade screw driver, rotate the adjustment screw
clock wise to increase pressure or counter clockwise to decrease pressure. Be careful not to loosen the regulator assembly base. When finished, properly torque the regulator adjustment screw!
Properly tighten the adjustment lock nut when finished.
