Checking Oil Level and Changing Oil
Raise harvesting unit slightly so that it is horizontal, and
check oil level in transmissions and angle drives. Oil level
is correct when it reaches the bottom edge of oil level
plug (D).
Change the oil after every 500 hours of operation or at the
end of each harvesting season.
Drain the oil while it is hot (i.e after operation). Pull out filler
plug (B) and drain plug (A), then drain oil into a suitable
receptacle. Clean drain plug (A) before reinstalling it and
then add relevant transmission oil quantity.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill transmissions as this
will result in overheating and oil leakage.
Pay attention that breather is always installed
at the outside of gathering drum spur gear
angle drive in direction of travel.
Lubricants
Use lubricants based on NLGI consistency numbers and
the expected air temperature range during the service
interval.
The following greases are recommended:
Manufacturer
Description
ARAL ARALUB FDP 00
BP
ENERGREASE HT 00 EP
TEXACO STARFAK E 900
WESTFALEN GRESANAT X 00
Other greases may be used if they meet the following
specification:
NLGI Service Classification GCLB
IMPORTANT: Some types of grease thickeners
are not compatible with others. Enquire
with your lubricant supplier before mixing
various types of lubricants.

Coolant for Main Drive Friction Clutch
The cooling system of the main drive friction clutch is
filled to provide protection against corrosion and freeze
protection to 37 °C (34 °F).
Use a low silicate ethylene glycol base coolant
concentrate. The mixing ratio is 50% concentrate and
50% water.
The coolant concentrate must be of a quality that protects
the cast iron in the cooling system from cavitation
corrosion.
A 50% mixture of ethylene coolant in water provides
freeze protection to 37°C (34°F). If protection at lower
temperatures is required, consult your KEMPER dealer
for recommendations.
Water quality is important to the performance of the
cooling system. Distilled, deionized, or demineralized
water is recommended for mixing with ethylene glycol
based coolant concentrate.
Coolant Change Intervals
Drain coolant from the main drive friction clutch, flush the
cooling system and refill with new coolant after the first 3
years or 3000 hours of operation. At each interval, drain
the coolant, flush the cooling system, and refill with new
coolant.
