System Mounting Requirements
In order to change the filter after installation, the following minimum height requirements
(clearance dimension)
above
each unit must be maintained:
Vertical Clearance Dimension
MTS 40:
8 inches (21.0cm)
MTS 60:
12 inches (31.0cm)
MTS 240:
20 inches (51.0cm)
Location:
Choose a secure mounting location
on the engine railing, deck platform, or other
secure structure that meets these
requirements.
Install system near oil return port (sump)
and keep the return hose as short as
possible. Do not mount directly onto the
engine
.
(
Note
: Clean oil returns assisted
by gravity; return hose must maintain a
continuous downward-slope)
Maintain enough space both horizontal
and vertical so the unit (including mounting
hardware) will not interfere with engine
parts, suspension components, steering
linkage, brake lines, electrical system or
engine control hardware. Check for
moving component clearance: i.e. tire
clearance, right full turn, left full turn while
suspension is unloaded and fully loaded.
Recommend to maintain a position high enough so the outlet for the oil returns line
is at least twelve (12) inches above the dipstick oil level on short return lines and as
high as possible for longer return lines.
Select thick gage mounting frame location, so the weight of the U
nit doesn’t cause
metal fatigue or damage.
Keep a safe distance from hot exhaust system components.
CAUTION! Avoid high-vibration mounting locations, which can cause
the bolts to loosen during operation.
