Delivery Oil Pump (on the right)
The level of oil in the supply tank should never be allowed to fall below the low level
mark and, upon replenishment, should not be higher than the upper mark line, at which
level the oil content is 4 pints.
After the first 500 miles, again at 1,000 miles, and subsequently at 5,000 mile intervals,
it is recommended that the oil tank is drained, the oil filter cleaned in petrol and the
tank replenished with new oil.
There are three filters for the oil.
(A) The metal filter located in the feed pipe in the bottom of the oil tank.
This is a thimble shaped filter of coarse metal mesh inserted, from the exterior,
in the short metal feed pipe located in the bottom of the oil tank. It has an open
end finished with a turned over metal ring, located by the oil feed pipe.
