Handling the Instrument

The instrument is made with thin metal so please handle it with care. Do not apply any

excessive force, or bump it in a manner that will dent or damage the instrument.

■ Applying Oil

Apply oil to the pistons

Unscrew the valve cap and pull the piston

straight out of the valve casing until about

half of the valve piston is exposed.

Apply about 10 drops of valve oil on the

piston.

* Do not apply too much oil.

Slowly return the piston into the valve cas-

ing. At this time, make sure the valve guide

fits into the slot inside the valve casing. Af-

ter the valve cap is tightened firmly, move

the piston up and down a few times to

evenly distribute the oil over the piston.

* Each piston fits into its corresponding

casing. Make sure the number stamped on

the piston matches the number stamped

on the casing before returning the piston

into the valve casing.

* The pistons must be oiled to function

properly and smoothly.

Applying oil to the rotors

Remove the valve cap and apply some ro-

tor spindle oil to the spindle and in the cen-

ter of the rotor.
