Using a compressed air line, pressurize the oil tank through its vent nipple (pos. 6 on
Fig. 1) (on the neck of the tank). Adjust the compressor outlet regulator so that the air
line pressure is between 0.4 (5.8 psi) and 1 bar (15 psi). Do not exceed 1 bar (15 psi).
The oil tank bayonet cap is not pressure-tight, some air can escape.
Non-compliance can result in serious injuries or death!
