–  Cut the nozzle of tube at the front mark (approximate diameter of the nozzle: 3 mm).
–  Apply the silicon-based sealant to the clean contact surface of the oil sump, following the example in the illustration. The strip should:
t  have a thickness of 2 … 3 mm
t  pass by the bolt orifices, on the inner side -arrows-.
  Note!
The sealant strip should not be any thicker, to avoid penetration of excessive sealant in the oil sump, obstructing the strainer of the oil intake hose.
–  Immediately install the oil sump and lightly tighten the securing bolts.
–  Tighten the oil sump securing bolts to the par of 15 Nm.
  Note!
After installation of the oil sump, the sealant should dry for approximately 30 minutes. After this time, oil fill-up may begin.
