How do I fill the Oil tank on a Strausak 57W universal grinder?

Hello all from Australia.
I have recently acquired a 1980's Strausak 57W universal grinder made in Switzerland and am in the process of stripping down, cleaning and checking everything...
So far I'm impressed with its construction, beepen' heavy, and it's general condition.
But... I haven't figured out how to fill the way oil up.
Having bought this at an auction and only receiving a photocopied manual that doesn't appear complete, the task has been, ahhh, carefully progressing.
Nothing bug, ahh, broken yet..
There is a manual pump on the right side of the machine with a sight glass and one copper line out of the pump unit visible.
I haven't pulled the pump unit off as yet, may have to, and there are 2 machine screws on the top face which I thought might be bleed screws... But?
Does anyone know this machine?
I would truely appreciate any information.
I plan to put some servo motors on at least 2 of the 5 axis, longitudinal and cross slide, advice on that could save a lot of experimentation as well!
Thanking in advance,
Carl.
