Gast 0523 oil levels

[David Guillet]

I've acquired a used Gast 0523 vacuum pump and need to fill the two filters and the siphon oiler. The manual https://gastmfg.com/uploads/manuals/70-350-F.pdf says that proper oil levels must be maintained but doesn't indicate what these levels should be. Nor are levels indicated on the canisters or oiler.

Do they just need to be filled to the top?

Page 6 upper left corner mentions filling to the line on the jar.
Have you called customer service in Benton Harbor, MI ?

There's no upper line on the oiler jar or the canisters.

I will give them a call next week

Most times I’ve seen the oil filled filters and oilers they are only filled about halfway.
