can be disconnected. The filling adaptor can be removed from the
steering damper, some oil may leak when you are removing the

filling adaptor to the filling connector under the lid of the external
tank and letting the oil flow into a measuring cup. If the
vacuumfilling device is no longer used for filling steering dampers,
the oil reservoir has to be drained and cleaned, as described in
“maintenance”.
