Lubricator question
6/15/24
I have a 20+ year old Maggi 2332 construction drill that we use to bore for dowels in cabinets and drawer boxes. We noticed recently that the drill head stroke was getting slow, now taking 6-7 seconds to engage the workpiece, instead of the 2-3 seconds it used to take. I checked the filter/regulator/lubricator and noticed the oil reservoir was low and needed refilling. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it.
I have similar units on a half dozen different machines and have never had trouble refilling them. There's no cap or plug to remove. I tried taking the clear top off, but it's sealed inside and I couldn't add oil there. Then I tried to take the reservoir off, but it doesn't seem to be removable. Any ideas?

Push up on the reservoir and twist, might work

I tried that. It's worked on a couple of the lubricators I have, but no dice on this one...
