OIL FILTER MOUNT

GENERAL
See Figure 3-94. Oil is pressure-fed from the oil pump to the
filter mount via rigid external steel line. Oil travels through the
filter mount into the filter through the outer filter holes.
Adequate oil pressure activates the oil pressure indicator
switch in the filter mount, which turns off the oil pressure indi-
cator lamp.
The check ball in the filter adapter "opens" at 4-6 psi (28-41
kPa) oil pressure. Filtered oil leaves the filter, flowing past the
check ball.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Drain oil reservoir and remove filter. See
LUBRICATION SYSTEM.
2. See Figure 3-94. Remove filter adapter from filter mount.
Remove check ball and spring.
3. Detach indicator lamp wire from oil pressure indicator
switch. Remove switch using OIL PRESSURE SEND-
ING UNIT WRENCH (Part No. HD-41675).
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Thoroughly clean all parts in cleaning solvent. Blow out holes
and passages using compressed air.
