NOTE: When servicing engine, do not overtighten drain plug. Leave at least ⁄” of plug above surface of crankcase. See Picture 14.
CAUTION
Picture 14
Overtightening drain plug may cause plug to contact ywheels resulting in damage to ywheels and other engine parts.
NOTE: Check magnetic drain plug for metal particles at 500 mile oil change. Break-in of new engine invariably produces ne metal particles. Small
accumulation of ne material on magnetic drain plug is normal, and simply shows that drain plug is doing its job. Signicant amounts of coarse metal
particles or shavings indicate serious engine damage and/or contamination during engine assembly. In this event, engine should be closely inspected
before further operation.
Metal lings, dirt and other contamination in engine oil may cause premature wear and/or irreversible damage to bearings and other
engine components.
CAUTION
