The exhaust of the turbo blower contains oil mist. The exhaust
pump will capture oil mist, and the amount of exhaust pump oil
increases with time. When the oil has increased too much, the
filter gets immersed in the oil, possibly causing white mist to
come out from the pump, or oil to leak. Furthermore, the
exhaust capacity may get lowered, or the pump may be
damaged.

Fig. 5.3.3 shows the location of the oil gauge. See also Fig. 5.3.4.
Watch the oil gauge, and check that the oil level is between graduations
L and H. Also check whether the oil is dark.
If the oil level is below L, add oil to the turbo blower or replace the oil in
it. If the oil level is above H, drain until the oil level becomes below H.

1. Stop the oscillator, and turn off the power.
2. Remove the maintenance panel.
3. Remove the oil inlet plug. There is an O–ring on it. Be careful not to
damage it. A missing or damaged O–ring can lower the exhaust
capacity of the pump.
4. Insert the drain tube into a drain oil pot.
5. Fully open the drain cock.
6. After the oil has been drained up, close the cock.
7. Supply 1.8 liters of new oil through the oil inlet, while watching the
oil gauge.
8. Attach the oil inlet plug.
9. Put the maintenance panel back in place, and turn on the power.
