Disassembly Instructions-Spirol Lok Models

Remove the filter from the bike.  Try not to booger up the outside of your filter, after all you paid good money for it. Plug the threaded hole so that debris will not get into the inside of the filter element.

1  Use a small screwdriver to gently pry up the top end of the metal spirol lok that holds the filter in the case.

2 Use caution not to damage the rubber quad-ring that seals the top of the filter to the engine (it can be removed if you like.

3  Pull the spirol lok up and toward the center of the filter in a circular motion and work the spirol lok out of its slot. you should now be able to remove the filter element from the case.

Double check and/or reinstall the rubber quad-ring (either side up). Lube the quad ring surface with a thin film of clean oil and install filter on the bike. The filter should spin on at least 3 full turns. Torque the filter to 20-25 ft lbs and recheck torque after 100 miles.

Cleaning:  We recommend the K&P Micronic Stainless Steel Oil Filter be cleaned frequently when first purchased or when engine work has been performed. This will give you a feel for how much debris is being filtered out of your machines oil and help you decide how often you want to clean the filter for your application. At minimum, clean the filter with every oil change. Remember, oil is the lifeblood of your machine, keep it clean!

Wash the reusable stainless steel filter element in clean solvent, kerosene, aerosol carburetor cleaner or any other degreasing agent; even common dish soap and water. If inspection of trapped debris is desired, flush the particles into a light colored, clean container. Once clean, lightly blow air through the filter from the inside out to remove any small particles or cleaning agent from the screen. Finally, if you have a spin on model, clean the inside of the filter housing using the same type of cleaner as used on the reusable filter element.
