Hello from Slovakia,
sorry for writing in English, but I hope you can still help me :)
I bought a used Solberga SE1630 drill press and I am not sure about lubrication. I downloaded the manual and translated it to English using Google translate, however it does not seem to go into details, so I was wondering if anyone who has this machine could give me some hints.
As I understand starting from version No. 4698 the feed box is filled with oil. It seems that I have the older version 4539 without a feed box, still the manual suggests to use hydraulic oil, but does not say how much.
There are three lubrication nipples on top of the machine:

Am I really supposed to fill in hyraulic oil and if yes, how much? Where would I let the old oil out? I do not see anything at the bottom of the spindlestock:

The gearbox seems loud, so I assume it has not been lubricated in a while...
