    OK, let me first say that I don't know what I'm talking about. Of course that isn't unusual. . .

    But it sounds to me like somebody needs to READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL!

    Now Don...WOMEN read owners/assembly manuals...men fix it then try to figure out what they did wrong, or why there are parts left over.

    Take it to the dealer (a dealer) and "get er done"...before that, just stay where it is cool so you won't need to use the #### thing!:biggrin_25523:

    I brought my Tri-Pak to Thermo King for service. I went to the Albany shop. These guys are very good. No BS. They took care of my needs without having me sit all day and were good guys to boot. To answer my own question about the two oil fill ports. Use the lower one. The upper one will also work but you would need to add oil much slower.

    I do not have an owners manual. If anyone can direct me to that or any other schematics or tech info I would be obliged.

    Thanks
