Checking Oil Level
The apron has the proper amount of oil when the sight glass shown in Figure 101 is halfway full.
Important: Keep in mind that the apron one- shot oiler draws the oil from the apron reservoir. Check this oil level often when using the one- shot oiler.

Draining Oil & Flushing Reservoir
Since the apron oil reservoir supplies the one- shot oiler, the oil is constantly being refreshed when the reservoir is filled. However, small metal particles may accumulate at the bottom of the reservoir with normal use. Therefore, to keep the reservoir clean, drain and flush it at least once a year.
Place a catch pan under the apron drain plug shown in Figure 102, loosen the fill plug, then use a 6mm hex wrench to remove the drain plug and empty the reservoir.
Drain Plug

Flush the reservoir by pouring a small amount of clean oil into the fill hole and allowing it to drain out the bottom.
Replace the drain plug and add oil as previously described.
