Vertical Clearance Requirements
In order to change the filter element after installation, the following minimum height
requirements (clearance dimension)
above
each unit must be maintained:
Location:
Choose a secure mounting location on the fender well, firewall, frame rail, vertical post,
beam or cowl that meets these requirements.
Install system near oil return port (sump) and keep the return hose as short as possible. Do not
mount system directly onto the engine.
Maintain enough space in both the horizontal and vertical direction 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.
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.
