Pumping unit, located in the cross member opposite of the oil filters (3).
The pump unit works automatically as soon as the engine speed is above
300 RPM. The pump unit consists of a pumping element for feeding oil
from tank (13) into the engine oil pan. The second pumping element with-
draws oil from the engine oil pan and feeds it back into the reserve tank
when the oil level in the oil pan exceeds the maximum running oil level.
The combined operation of the pumping elements maintains an optimal oil
level in the engine oil pan. Oil drawn off by the Centinel burn system is also
replaced through the supply system "Reserve".
