IMPORTANT!
For installations on all engines disconnect the negative battery terminal prior to installation. After installation reconnect the battery lead and drive the vehicle over 50 mph (80kph.) for a minimum of 10 minutes. This procedure will reset the computer's memory on fuel-injected engines, to more rapidly sense the treated fuel. For diesel and all other gasoline engines, disconnecting the battery is good safety practice.

WARNING!
1. DO NOT SMOKE AND DO NOT HAVE ANY OPEN FLAME WHILE PERFORMING THIS OPERATION!!

2. DO NOT DISSEMBLE THE FITCH UNITS. THE ENTIRE PLASTIC CAGE AND CATALYST ELEMENTS CONTAINED THEREIN MUST BE INSTALLED INTO THE TANK. (THE PLASTIC MATERIAL IS IMPERVIOUS TO FUEL)

3. ALL OF THE FITCH UNITS CONTAINED IN THIS PACKAGE MUST BE USED. IF ALL UNITS ARE NOT USED, THE FUEL WILL NOT BE COMPLETELY TREATED AND THE RESULTS WILL NOT BE MAXIMIZED.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
Open package and remove the Fitch Fuel Catalyst units and the coiled installation tool.

WARNING
This tool is a coiled spring and will straighten automatically when the twist ties are removed. Hold both ends while removing the ties to avoid injury when the tool uncoils.

Step 2:
Remove the fuel tank cap from your vehicle

Step 3:
Grasp the eyelet end of the installation tool and push the pointed end through the fuel filler opening until the eyelet end will not allow it to go further. Remove the installation tool. It is a good idea to check the run of the filler hose to the tank for any 90-degree turns. This may allow the tool to pass but NOT the drop in units. If a sharp elbow exists, do not proceed with the installation through the filler cap.

WARNING! IF YOU FEEL ANY OBSTRUCTION DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FORCE THE INSTALLATION TOOL ANY FURTHER AND DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE CATALYST UNITS THROUGH THE FILLER CAP. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTO MECHANIC WHO MAY INSTALL THE UNITS BY REMOVING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FILLER NECK AND FUEL TANK AND DROPPING THEM DIRECTLY INTO THE FUEL TANK. BE SURE THE TANK IS LESS THAN FULL. IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, YOUR MECHANIC CAN ACCESS THE FUEL PUMP OR SENDING UNIT VIA THE TRUNK, REAR SEAT OR BY DROPPING THE TANK. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO HAVE A FITCH FUEL CATALYST INSTALLED IN-LINE WITH THE FUEL LINE.

Step 4:
**Read this section carefully. If you were able to satisfactorily complete Step 3 then take the Fitch Fuel Catalyst units and install them, ONE AT A TIME ONLY, pointed end first, into the fuel tank by pushing each unit (one at a time) down the filler neck with the installation tool until it reaches the fuel tank. (Listen for the unit to drop into the tank). The eyelet end of the spring toll should be pushed completely down to the filler opening to ensure the unit has entered the fuel tank. If the units have not completely reached the fuel tank, you will risk jamming the drop-ins behind one another in the filler hose.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
The length of this break-in period depends on the age and condition of the engine. An engine in average condition should take approximately 500 miles, (800 kilometers) or 10 operating hours to achieve maximum benefit from the catalyst. During the break-in period the Fitch unit will be cleaning any excess carbon and resins from the engine and fuel system. It is possible to have higher emissions and/or fuel consumption during this period. The cleaning out of this build up from the engine will initially result in dirtier engine oil than normal since much of the carbon residue cleaned from the combustion chamber ends up in the engine oil pan. After the first oil change however, the engine oil will be much cleaner than before use of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst due to the reduction of oil soot contamination. It is also possible, on high mileage engines, to find the fuel filter will need to be replaced, as deposits being loosened from the fuel system will accumulate. A clogged filter will cause poor fuel economy. After the break in period, it may be possible to evaluate your vehicle with lower octane fuel. Drop down one grade at time to ensure proper engine performance.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR LEADED TO UNLEADED CONVERSIONS
It is recommended that at least 500 miles, (800 kilometers) or 10 hours be run on leaded fuel with the Fitch installed before converting to unleaded fuel.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR CARBURETED ENGINES
For maximum performance of the Fitch, this engine type should be adjusted after 1000 miles, (1600 kilometers).

REMINDER
If the oxygen sensor in engines with electronic fuel management systems is coated with carbon, results with the use of the Fitch may be limited. If this is the case the oxygen sensor should be checked and either cleaned or replaced.

RIGHT OF RETURN, REFUND AND WARRANTY
The Fitch Fuel Catalyst has a ninety (90) day money back guarantee provided the installation instructions were followed correctly and the return of the product is based either on product defect or dissatisfaction with the product's performance.

The Fitch Fuel Catalyst device is guaranteed to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 500,000 miles (defined by EPA in 40 CFR 85.117), or 5,000 hours from the date of installation. Manufacturer reserves the right to repair or replace any failed or defective device. This warranty does not cover damages resulting from collision, abuse, and improper installation. Return the defective device along with dated proof of purchase to the distributor from which the device was purchased so that the distributor may handle your warranty claim in an expeditious manner. The manufacturer warrants that the installation of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst on a vehicle will not cause the emissions noncompliance of the engine on which it is installed for the life of the catalyst from the date of installation.
