Step 1

Turn the wringer's left lever to the "Neutral" setting. The lever must point directly toward the wringer for it to be in "Neutral."

Step 2

Grip the wringer with both hands. Pull gently upward to remove it, and place it on a cloth.

Step 3

Pour the gearbox oil into the gearbox tube and left wringer.

Step 4

Replace the wringer by gently clicking it back into place over the tube; finish adding oil. Turn the machine back on to use it again.
