INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MAGNETIC OIL FILSTRATION UNIT

Mini Mania part number MAGDOG3

Installation

1. Confirm nipple is proper size by screwing it into the new filter and rocking gently.  If it is not properly aligned, contact us for a replacement.
2. Remove the old oil filter ( be sure to dispose of the filter responsibly).
3. Place MagDog on the stud.  Screw in the nipple, holding MagDog in place.  Make sure the nipple turns a few times by hand before tightening.
4. Tighten nipple snuggly.  If you use the next key, be absolutely sure that you remove it when finished to prevent severe engine damage!
5. Spin on the new oil filter and tighten it per manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Run the engine and check for any leaks.
