4.14 Conditioner
Conditioner rolls condition the crop by crimping and crushing the stem in several places, which allows the release of
moisture, resulting in faster crop drying times.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, before servicing header or opening drive covers, follow procedures in 4.1 Preparing for
Servicing, page 125.
4.14.1 Changing Gearbox Oil
Change the oil in the gearbox to maintain proper operation of the system.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from the unexpected startup of the machine, always shut down the engine and remove
the key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
NOTE:
Change the conditioner drive gearbox lubricant after the first 50 hours of operation, and every 1000 hours (or 3 years)
thereafter.
To change the oil in the conditioner gearbox, follow these steps:
1. Lower the header to the ground.
2. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from
the ignition.
