I don't have any experience with the Manual, but have added oil to the bellows on CAM PS units, per old Haynes manual I think. Here's what the books say:

Manual CAM (thin book)
It is . . . oil lubricated. When assembled, it is filled with oil. Oil check or topping up cannot be made after it has been installed. Should leakage arise, the oil must be drained completely and then new oil filled to the correct quantity . . . after the leakage has been corrected.

In the assembly (thicker book), at the beginning of assembly, it just says "Oil all parts prior to assembly". No mention of oil again till the next-to-last step, which shows oil being poured into the small end of the Left rack bellows, with bellows (rack) pointed up to receive the oil. Says to use SAE 20W-50 or 20W-40, quantity is 0.3 dm cubed??? (I can't do exponents).

The final step is to put a clamp on the small end, where the oil was inserted.

After that, your guess is as good as mine. Probably better.
