3) Connect the hose (3) to the flange (94336).
4) Fill the lubricating pump (4) with steam-engine cylinder oil (see Table 1).
5) Operate the lubricating pump (4) until oil flows from the sides of the bearing.
Note: Do step 1) to step 5) weekly if the engine does not operate for some
weeks.
6) Before you operate the engine do step a) to step d):
a) Make sure that the hose (3) has no pressure.
b) Disconnect the hose (3) from the flange (94336).
