Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery and drain any residual oil to prevent accidental spillage.
2. Locate Breather Port: Identify the crankcase breather opening on the engine block. It is usually a small, round port near the bottom of the engine.
3. Attach Hose: Slide the hose onto the breather fitting. Ensure that the steel wire core aligns with the internal threads to prevent twisting.
4. Secure Connections: Tighten all fittings using a torque wrench to the manufacturer’s specified torque (typically 10–12 Nm).
5. Check for Leaks: Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and observe the hose for any signs of leakage or excessive vibration.
