are on top and one at the bottom (see Figure 11). Unscrew the level plug

The oil level should be at the lower side of the openings (see drawing). By
turning the pump a bit this should be visible. If not, fill up to the correct
level.

Motor Housing
Unscrew the inspection plug of the motor
housing. Put the pump in horizontal
position with the inspection opening
downwards. If water is present it will run
out this way. A small amount of water,
due to condensation is permissible. More
water is an indication of leakage of the
seal or housing. Oil is an indication of
seal failure between motorhousing and oil
chamber. Motor chamber is air filled only.
