Replaces: 2402956-S
This kit provides a new plastic (stanyl) material oil filter adapter/diverter for the blower housing mounted (radiator style) oil coolers used on Command twin engines.
To Install –
1. Place a shallow container beneath oil filter and adapter/diverter assembly to collect any spillage. Remove existing oil filter. If replacing filter, dispose of old filter properly. Remove and discard the oil filter nipple using a 5/16" allen wrench.
2. Slide the hose clamps (securing the adapter/diverter to the oil hoses) off the fittings. Separate the adapter/diverter from the oil hoses. Discard the adapter/diverter, O-ring, and the two hose clamps.
3. Lubricate O-ring from kit with grease and install in the groove on back side of new oil filter adapter/diverter. Insert the new nipple from the front side and thread into crankcase until finger tight.
4. Hold adapter/diverter from turning and carefully tighten the nipple. Torque to 27 N·m (20 ft. lb.).
5. Install a new hose clamp on each oil hose. Secure the oil hoses on the adapter/diverter fittings.
6. Prefill oil filter if new. Place filter in a shallow pan with open end up. Pour new oil of the proper type in threaded center hole. Stop pouring when oil reaches bottom of threads. Allow a minute for oil to be absorbed by filter material. Lightly lubricate rubber gasket with oil and install onto nipple. Tighten by hand until gasket contacts surface, then tighten an additional 3/4-1 turn.
7. Reconnect the spark plug leads, battery leads (negative (-) lead last), and check oil level. Add oil if necessary.
8. Test run engine and check for leaks. Stop and wait a few minutes for oil to drain down. Check level again, adding more oil if necessary.
