16.0 Procedure for checking/refilling/adjusting the oil level of
the air lubricator
Do NOT run the machine without oil in the lubricator. Doing so will reduce machine perfor-
mance while causing excessive wear and premature failure of the air motor.
The machine should NOT be tipped onto its side or upside down as this will cause unwanted
oil leakage into the pneumatic air lines.
To check the lubricator oil level there is a slot in the front of the control housing. (see Fig. 1)
Through this the oil level should be visible. Alternatively, while removing/changing the battery the bowl (see
Fig. 2) will be clearly visible through the opening for the battery box in the control housing (see Fig. 3). Check
that the oil is not below the minimum and not above the maximum permitted level, the operator may find a
flashlight useful to assist.

Remove the fill screw and
refill as required with correct
oil grade (FD22 – HG32).
Important:

screw only. Overtightening
can strip the fill screw
thread.
