Operation
At Engine Running
The oil pump delivers oil at pressure to the oil filter
via a port. The anti-drain seal is forced off its seat and
oil flows through a large area paper element. Filtered
oil enters the inner part filter before leaving the filter
head via a port.
At Engine Stopped
With the engine stopped oil pressure in the galleries
and filter decays. The anti-drain seal falls on
its seat and oil is prevented from draining from
the filter assembly. The anti-drain pipe prevents
approximately half the filters oil capacity from
draining. These features help protect the engine from
oil starvation on start up.
Check (Level)
Engine oil and oil filter replacement must be
completed in accordance with the service schedules.
Failure to replace the oil and filter at the
recommended interval could cause serious engine
failure.
1. Make the machine safe, refer to (PIL 01-03).
2. Get access to the engine.
3. Check that the oil level is between the two marks
on the dipstick.
4. If necessary, add recommended oil through one
of the filler points.
