liquids.

3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do

not let them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.

4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry

location to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

5. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or

attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught

in moving parts. Protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to
contain long hair.

7. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety

goggles. Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal filings or wood
chips. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when working around
metal, wood, and chemical dusts and mists.

8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not

reach over or across running machines.

9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance.

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate

any tool when you are tired.

11. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears

damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding
of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other
condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.

12. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use
accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are
available from Harbor Freight Tools.

13. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read

warning labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or
reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate
the tool.

14. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be

performed regularly by a qualified technician.

Product Specific Safety Precautions

1. Avoid burns from hot oil. Allow vehicle engine to cool down before

removing oil filter. Oil streaming down may splash and strike the head or body
of the operator.

2. Secure vehicle before working underneath. When using vehicle stands to

support the vehicle, make sure that the stands are placed in the correct
position as described in the vehicle maintenance manual, and the emergency
brake is set. Do not rely on a jack to support the vehicle.

Operation

Warning: The vehicle engine must never be started in a closed garage, or any
other sealed structure. Carbon monoxide is produced during operation and is
deadly in a closed environment. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have any of these
signs get fresh air immediately.

1. Select the appropriate Oil Filter Cup by size specification of the oil filter, and
the number stamped on the Oil Filter Cup.

2. Snap in the 3/8” Socket Driver (15) into the bottom of the selected Oil Filter
Cup.

3. Snap in the other end of the 3/8” Socket Driver (15) into the 1/2” socket
wrench (not supplied).

4. Press the Oil Filter Cup over the Oil Filter
as far as it will go.

5. Place an oil pan, or other oil recovery
devise, under the oil filter to catch the
draining oil.

6. Turn socket wrench counterclockwise until oil filter is removed.

7. Install a new oil filter by first lubricating the new filter gasket, then hand-screw
the filter in place until tight.
