To fill the oil reservoir, open the front cabinet door and remove the oil
reservoir cap. Using a funnel, pour approximately four liters (or until full)
of mineral oil into the reservoir. Replace the cap. Make sure the seal is air
tight. Use the sight glass on the side of the reservoir to check the oil level.

8. Periodically inspect the oil level within the air line lubricator. This unit is
located just upstream of the air inlet on the hydraulic pump inside the
Consistometer cabinet. You can access it by opening the cabinet doors
on the back of the unit. If the oil level is low, refill it with mineral oil.
The lubricator has been adjusted at the factory. Under normal operation,
one drop of oil should be discharged into the air stream every 12 to 20
pump strokes. This discharge can be observed through the clear control
needle on top of the lubricator. If adjustment is necessary, turn the hex
screw on top of the control needle until you observe normal discharge.
Rotate the screw clockwise to decrease the oil flow rate and counter
clockwise to increase it.
