Servicing of the large capacity type oil bath is essentially the same as that stated for the normal
capacity type cleaners. The main difference is that the bowl is removed
from the bottom of the unit.
To remove, unfasten clamps or, if clamps are not used,
twist bowl until it is free of the locking tabs.
Service large capacity units as follows:
1.
After removing bowl, empty old oil and clean out sediment.
2.
Thoroughly clean disc and bowl.
If prefilter element is used, press element upward, then
twist to left until locking tabs line up with vertical slots then pull downward to remove.
Swish prefilter in clean solvent.
Allow to drip dry.
3.
After installing serviced prefilter (when used), add clean oil of same type used in engine
to level indicated in bowl.
Place disc in bowl and reinstall bowl cleaner body.
