7.16 Checking the lubrication
All wicks and felt bits of the machine head are soaked in oil at the
factory. This oil is conveyed to the reservoir during use. This is
why you should avoid filling too much oil during initial filling.

To check the lubrication:
1. Sew with the machine for approx. 1 minute.
2. Check at the inspection glass (3) whether the warning indica-
tor is lit red or the oil level has dropped below the minimum
marking (1).
