A
filter
element
has
been
inserted
inside
the
filter
bowl
on
the
FS-2500
filtration
system
prior
to
installation
on
your
equipment.
It
will
be
necessary
to
replace
that
element
periodically
to
maintain
the
filtration
needed
to
ensure
long
oil
drain
intervals
and
to
help
increase
the
life
of
your
engine.
The
time
between
filter
changes
is
determined
by
the
conditions
in
which
your
equipment
is
operating.
On-road
vehicles
can
typically
go
10,000
miles
before
the
element
needs
to
be
replaced.
Off-road
vehicles
need
to
have
the
element
replaced
every
250
hours
of
operation.
The
existing
full
flow
oil
filters
only
need
to
be
replaced
when
it
is
determined
that
the
oil
requires
draining
or
annually,
which
ever
comes
first.
A
periodic
oil
sample
analysis
is
recommended
to
monitor
the
condition
of
the
oil
and
the
condition
of
the
engine.
Oil
analysis
can
determine
when
the
oil
needs
to
be
drained
and
replaced.
If
you
would
like
to
know
more
about
how
to
use
oil
analysis
in
your
preventative
maintenance
program
we
will
be
happy
to
help
you.
Turn
off
engine
and
allow
to
cool
before
servicing
filter.
The
filter
unit
is
under
pressure
while
the
engine
is
running.
The
oil
is
hot
and
can
cause
burns.
Place
a
drain
pan
below
the
filter
unit
as
oil
will
drip
from
around
the
top
of
the
bowl
when
removed.
Loosen
3/4"
hex
head
bolt
and
support
filter
bowl
to
prevent
it
from
falling
when
the
bolt
is
removed.
Remove
bowl
from
head
and
dump
oil
and
element
into
drain
pan.
Remove
the
o-ring
from
the
groove
in
the
head
and
install
the
new
o-ring
provided.
Replace
the
seal
under
the
head
of
the
assembly.
Insert
the
new
element
in
bowl
and
position
bowl
under
head
and
install
bolt.
Hold
the
bowl
up
against
head
while
tightening
bolt
to
be
sure
bowl
aligns
squarely
into
groove.
Tighten
bolt
until
bowl
seats
securely
against
o-ring.
It
should
not
require
more
than
50
ft.
lb.
Dispose
of
the
used
element
and
oil
properly
according
to
local
disposal
codes.
Start
the
engine
and
carefully
inspect
the
system
and
all
the
hoses
and
fittings
for
leaks.
Repair
as
necessary.
The
element
displaces
1
1/2
quarts
of
oil
and
the
reservoir
will
need
to
be
topped
off
as
required
after
element
replacement
is
complete.
Change
the
oil
and
full
flow
filter
on
the
engine
you
will
be
installing
the
FS-2500
on.
If
you
plan
on
using
an
oil
analysis
program
take
a
sample
of
your
terminal
oil.
If
you
intend
on
extending
your
oil
drain
interval,
Filtration
Solutions
strongly
recommends
using
oil
analysis
to
verify
your
oils
condition.
Install
the
FS-2500.
Once
the
system
is
installed
the
service
for
the
FS-2500
is
as
follows.
Once
you
have
reached
your
normal
oil
drain
interval
"typically
5,000
miles",
change
your
engine
oil,
the
full
flow
filter
and
the
FS-2500
element
and
take
an
oil
sample.
This
early
changing
of
all
the
fluids
and
filters
will
allow
us
to
clean
anything
that
is
residual
out
of
the
engine.
When
you
reach
5,000
miles
take
an
oil
sample
but
do
not
change
any
oil
filters
or
your
oil.
Now
you
will
have
three
oil
samples
to
be
able
to
track
the
condition
of
your
engine
and
most
importantly
the
condition
of
your
oil.
At
10,000
miles
take
an
oil
sample
and
change
the
element
in
the
FS-2500
only.
Use
your
oil
analysis
as
a
tool
to
determine
if
your
oil
is
good
for
continued
use.
Continue
repeating
step
three
every
10,000
miles
until
you
reach
your
oil
drain
extension
goal
or
your
oil
analysis
says
that
your
oil
is
no
longer
good
for
continued
use.
Once
your
oil
is
no
longer
good
or
you
have
reached
your
goal
now
it
is
time
to
change
your
oil,
full
flow
filter
and
the
element
in
the
FS-2500.
Repeat
steps
three
and
four.
