6-4) Oil quantity
An estimated quantity of oil for standard specifications is shown in Table 5. The oil quantity shown in Table 5 and the
catalog is not exact. Use a dipstick or visible oil gauge to check the oil level.
6-5) Oil supply
Supply oil through the filling port atop the main unit. Check the
oil level with a visual oil gauge. (Fig. 4) Exercise care when
supplying oil to ensure that loose nuts, bolts, washers, dust,
water, and other foreign substances will not enter the unit.
If oil level is lower than the specified range, lubrication will be
insufficient. In case the oil level is higher, deterioration of oil is
accelerated due to oil temperature rise.
6-6) Waste oil
Remove the drain plug under the main unit to drain waste oil while it is still warm.
(i. e. Soon after operation of the unit has ceased. But not immediately after.)
The oil level shall be
within this range.
