1. Begin by putting all O-rings back into place, then lube with clean oil. DO NOT TRY TO REASSEMBLE WITH OUT OIL ON THE THREADS OR O-RINGS. The stainless Mesh Element should be installed on the mounting cap first. The O-ring seal should be a snug fit.
2. Fill the filter with oil from the top side of the filter. NOTE: If the filter mounts horizontally, DO NOT COMPLETELY WITH OIL.
3. Put a light coat of oil on the mounting surface of the O-ring(s). To install the filter, TIGHTEN BY HAND ONLY (NO TOOLS) approximately 3/4 to 1 turn after the O-ring makes contact with the engine surface. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, THERE WILL BE SOME SEPARATION BETWEEN THE MOUNTING FLANGE AND THE CANISTER.
4. Ensure that engine oil is installed, then start your engine and check for leaks. |
