electrical level detection (AS2/3/5 only)
Please only use a ST6 sensor with reed contact
for electrical level detection.
1. Push down the sensor bracket (a) as far as it will go on
the window (b) and let it click into place.
2. Push the sensor (c) into the bracket (a) as far as it will
go (cable facing up).

CAUTION
Filling oil reservoir AS1:
Top up the oil when the oil level has reached the end
of the suction tube (a). Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the oil reservoir from the maintenance unit.
2. Fill the oil reservoir with the specified oil up to the start
of the thread (b).
NOTE:
If the oil is filled too high, the oil can enter the system
and cause damage.
3. Screw the reservoir back in as far as it will go.
Fill oil reservoir AS2/3/5:
Top up the oil when the oil level has reached the bottom
edge of the large window (a). Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the oil reservoir from the maintenance unit.
2. Fill the oil reservoir with the specified oil until the you
can see the oil in the small window (b).
NOTE:
If the oil is filled too high, the oil can enter the system
and cause damage.
3. Replace the oil reservoir on the maintenance unit
and check that you hear it click into place.

Semi-automatic oil reservoir filling
(AS2/3/5 only)
An air flow (air consumption) is necessary for semi-
automatic filling.
The oil tube can remain mounted on the oil reservoir.
1. Connect the oil tube to the oil reservoir nozzle (a)
and immerse it in a storage reservoir containing the
specified oil.
2. Press the oil filling button (c) until you see the oil
in the small window (b).

If the oil is filled too high, the oil can enter the system
and cause damage.

Adjusting the oil quantity

1. Use the metering screw on the lubricator drop
dispenser to set the oil quantity.
2. Determine the quantity of oil dispensed by observing
the number of drops in the drop dispenser. Reference
value (qv = 1000 Nl/min):
– AS1: 10 – 20 drops/min
– AS2/3/5: 1 – 2 drops/min
