4- Install Oil Lines
A- First, flush the oil tank and lines and install a new oil filter that has been filled with oil.
New oil tanks and lines must be flushed to remove any debris that could damage the engines oiling system.
B- Connect oil lines following the diagram below. Do not connect the oil feed line to the engine at this time.
C- Clamp off the open end of the oil feed line and fill the oil tank with oil of the appropriate type and grade recommended in the S&S®
Replacement Engine Owner’s Manual.
D- Unclamp the feed line to allow the line to fill with oil; then quickly attach it to the fitting on the oil pump. The oil pump was primed at
the factory so no further priming should be necessary. It is necessary to confirm that oil is circulating properly prior to operating the
motorcycle.
E- To confirm proper circulation of oil:
1- Remove both spark plugs.
2- Remove the oil return line from the oil tank and place the end in a suitable container.
3- Using the starter, turn the engine several rotations. Oil should come out the return line. If not, repeat the procedure as needed.
4- Reconnect the return line to the oil tank and install the spark plugs.
Lack of oil circulation through the engine will cause damage to the internal engine components.
