CASING
10. Place thumb over reservoir spout, invert
and place reservoir on lower casting while
removing thumb. Allow reservoir to empty,
filling the bearing housing. Several fillings
of the reservoir may be required before
the actual level is reached. When the oil
level is reached, no more oil will run out of
the reservoir.

11. Retighten thumb screw.
After the pump has been started, trial
adjustments should be made to the level
adjuster mechanism to prevent too high or
too low of oil levels. Adjust by repeating steps
6 through 11.
A periodic filling of the reservoir is required.
When the oil becomes dirty, repeat steps 1
through 12.
