Checking the oil levels
Cutterbar
Regularly check the cutterbar oil level:
• Place the cutterbar in horizontal position (with
regards to X and Y axis).
• Remove filler plug (1) and (2) as well as their seals.
• Through filler plugs, check that the oil level (h) is
comprised between 6 and 7 mm.
• Top up if necessary.
• Clean and reinstall filler plugs and their seals (1) and
(2). (Replace if necessary).
Before checking that the discs rotate freely by hand:
Side gearbox
- Check angle gearbox oil level:
• The "MAX" level corresponds to the mark on the
dipstick plug.
• The "MIN" level corresponds to the end of the
disptick plug.
If in doubt as to the oil quantity contained in
the cutterbar, fully drain and refill cutterbar
respecting recommended oil quantity and
quality.
If it is found that the transmission case is very hot
to touch by hand, there is no cause of alarm
provided:
- Lubrication recommendations have been
respected.
- Discs can be rotated freely by hand when the
machine is hot.
Turn off the engine, remove ignition key and
wait until all moving parts have come to a
complete stop.
