7.3.3 Filling Procedure
1.- Remove the vent plug, put the reservoir tank in the filling position, see figure 17.
2.- Pour the oil, slowly, through the vent hole until the oil starts to be seen through the connection elbow and the oil level is
between the middle and the apex of the connection tube, see figure 17.
3.- Wait until all the oil drains out and the oil level in the connection elbow no longer changes.

4.- From this moment on, filling must be done through the reserve tank (oil level maintainer), see figure 17.
! CAUTION
Never pour oil directly into the oil level maintainer connection elbow, but into the oil level
maintainer reservoir.
5.- Fill the reservoir tank with oil see figure 18(a) and return it to the working position see figure 18(b). The oil will flow down
from the reservoir to fill the bearing housing. When the oil level in the reservoir no longer drops into the working position and the
reservoir is partially filled, the working level is obtained, see figure 18.
