OIL FILTER:

P/N 7252 - IMPORTANT

 

The oil filter is a special design for use on “vacuum

 

or suction” oil flow systems.

DO NOT:

 

 

Use automotive engine oil filters. These filters

 

require a “pressure” to allow oil flow. Usage will

 

result in an “air-lock” condition with possible

 

damage.
