To renew (Early UC engines)
Cautions:
l It is important that the area around the vent hole (A1) is kept clean and the vent hole is not restricted.
l Ensure that the pipe, when fitted, does not contact other components as this may cause the failure of the
pipe.
l Ensure that the pipe connections are tight. Ensure that the components of the breather assembly are fitted
in their correct positions.
l If they are fitted incorrectly, the engine can be damaged.
Warning! Ensure that the breather pipe connections are tight. Do not exceed the correct level of lubricating
oil in the sump. If there is too much lubricating oil, the excess must be drained to the correct level. An excess
of lubricating oil could enter the breather. This could cause the engine speed to increase rapidly without
control.
Notes:
l The breather valve assembly should be renewed every 5000 hours.
l The early breather assembly and the latest breather assembly are not interchangeable as single parts, but
are interchangeable as an assembly.
