Instruction manual

CHECKING OIL CIRCULATION
Provision is made to observe the oil in circulation and it is advisable to do this before
each run.
If the filler cap on the oil tank is removed the bent over end of the oil return pipe will
be noticed some two inches below the level of the filler cap orifice and the returning
oil can be seen running from it. This check should be made Immediately after starting
the engine from cold. This is because while the engine is stationary, oil from all parts
of the interior of the engine drains back into the crankcase sump, so that, until this surplus
is cleared, the return flow is very positive and continuous. Therefore, if the oil circula-
tion is deranged, the fact is apparent at once by the lack of a steady return flow.

filter in its cylindrical housing and

entry end of the feed pipe union.
Also shows the direction of flow of
oil from tank to engine and return
flow from engine to tank via the small
spout, located so that it can be
inspected by removing the tank
filler cap. An air vent pipe is located
in the back of the oil tank to ensure
freedom from air-locks.
