RESERVOIR PREPARATION  

IMPORTANT! 

 

The reservoir is fitted with a special cap with a breather hole that is 
sealed for transit and must be opened before operation. 

 

Do not attempt to move the cylinder rod before completing the 
following steps; 

 

1)  Mount the reservoir on a bulkhead as far above the pump and 
 

cylinder as possible using both the mounting holes provided. 

 

2)  Remove the transit screw and seal from the cap to open the 

 breather. Retain for future use. 

 

3)  Fill the reservoir to the max level indicated on the label using the 

top-up oil included in the carton. 

 

4)  Turn the tap to the ‘ON’ position. 

 

5)  Check the mid-ships oil level and top up if necessary.
