How to renew the canister of the lubricating oil filter

1 Put a tray under the filter to retain spilt lubricating oil.
2 Remove the filter canister with a strap wrench or similar tool. Ensure that the adaptor (A1) is secure in the
filter head. Then discard the canister.
3 Clean the filter head.
4 Add clean engine lubricating oil to the new canister. Allow the oil enough time to pass through the filter
element.
5 Lubricate the top of the canister seal with clean engine lubricating oil.
6 Fit the new canister and tighten it by hand only. Do not use a strap wrench.
7 Ensure that there is lubricating oil in the sump. On turbocharged engines, ensure that the engine will not
start and operate the starter motor until oil pressure is obtained. To ensure that the engine will not start, either
put the manual stop control in the "stop" position or disconnect the electrical stop control of the fuel injection
pump. Oil pressure is indicated when the warning light is extinguished or by a reading on the gauge.
8 Operate the engine and check for leakage from the filter. When the engine has cooled, check the oil level
on the dipstick and put more oil into the sump, if necessary.
Caution: The canister contains a valve and special tube to ensure that lubricating oil does not drain from the
filter. Therefore, ensure that the correct Perkins POWERPART canister is used.
