After installation, the oil level in the plastic container will start to drop. The base of the oiler
has been preset at the factory to the proper height. When the oil level in the reservoir in the
base casting reaches the preset height the level in the plastic container will stabilize. It may
be necessary to refill the container after level has stabilized.
