    CAUTION
    Hot oil can cause burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to contact skin.

Do not over tighten the oil filter.

  10. Clean the pre-filter plug. Install a new sealing washer on the plug. The sealing surfaces on the plug and crankcase should be clean and free of burrs, nicks or scratches.
