Title: Noleen reservoir fill.
Post by: Geogeek on April 05, 2004, 05:45:12 am

Hey Guys,



One more Noleen question on the NR-2, NR-4 series.  Can you add to the oil reservoir?  I know that Noleen makes the 808 oil and that some have changed over to a 30 weight oil to increase damping but I can't find any info on filling.  Can you just remove the reservoir screw and add?  How much is too much/too little in the reservoir?  



Ok, ok so it's really about 5 questions.



Cheers,



Andy

Don't touch it,for any repairs send to an authorized noleen dealer,the unit is charged with 200psi of nitrogen,any tampering by someone who is unsure of what they are doing can be very dangerous,

Sorry

Simon.

Thanks Simon......I figured I was in for a rebuild or replacement when I saw the oil starting to drip.  I was just hoping to sqeak by for a couple weeks until the water really starts running and I can pull the kayak out of the closet!  Perhaps I'll conduct an experiment to see how long a Noleen can drip before it goes dry!







Cheers,
