OIL FILTER MOUNT

GENERAL
See Figure 3-58. Oil is pressure-fed from the oil pump to the
filter mount (4) via a hose (5). Oil travels through the filter
mount into the filter via outer filter holes.
Adequate oil pressure activates the oil pressure indicator
switch (6) in the filter mount, which turns off the oil pressure
indicator lamp.
The check ball (2) in the filter adapter (1) "opens" at 4-6 psi
2
(28-41 kN/m ) oil pressure. Filtered oil leaves the filter, flow-
ing past the check ball.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Drain oil tank and remove filter. See
CATION SYSTEM.
2. Remove filter adapter (1) from filter mount (4). Remove
check ball (2) and spring (3).
3. Detach indicator lamp wire (7) from oil pressure indicator
switch (6). Remove switch using OIL PRESSURE
SENDING UNIT WRENCH (Part No. HD-41675).
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Thoroughly clean all parts in cleaning solvent. Blow out holes
and passages using compressed air.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE
Use TEFLON PIPE SEALANT or HYLOMAR on all fittings
installed to oil filter mount.
1. Install oil pressure indicator switch (6) using OIL PRES-
SURE SENDING UNIT WRENCH (Part No. HD-41675).
Tighten to 4-6 ft-lbs (5-8 Nm).
NOTE
The filter adapter (1) has identical ends; either end may be
installed into the filter mount (4).
