When replacing the oil filter, do not
pour the remaining engine oil in the
old filter into the new filter.
* Otherwise, foreign particles may enter the
engine oil system, which causes damage to the
devices.
Before replacing the oil filter, make
sure that the engine has cooled down
to the normal temperature.
* Otherwise, you may get burned by heat.
Use a genuine oil filter.
* Using non-genuine parts may cause damage to
the devices or degradation in the performance.
* Failures or damages caused by using non-
genuine parts will be outside the scope of the
warranty.
If paint or other matter is adhering
around the sealing surface, remove
them before assembling.
* If paint or other matter is stuck on the sealing
surface, fuel may leak through the gap, which
causes a fire.
If engine oil spills out while removing
the oil filter, wipe off with a waste
cloth.
* Otherwise, it may cause a fire or environmental
pollution due to fuel flowing outside of the
facility.
* The waste cloth used to wipe off engine oil must
be discarded in according with the local laws
and regulations as well as the manufacturer's
SDS.
Do not use the oil filter with a scratch
or dent.
* Otherwise, damage to the filter or oil leaks may
cause a fire or environmental pollution due to
fuel flowing outside of the facility.
Do not use a filter wrench when
installing the oil filter.
* It may cause a dent or damage to the oil filter.
When replacing the oil filter, set the
gasket into the groove properly.
* Otherwise, engine oil leaks may cause a fire or
environmental pollution due to oil flowing
outside of the facility.
* Follow the replacing procedure described in this
Operation & Maintenance Manual.
