4- Magnetic drain plug
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. Signicant 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
