215916 114 Revision A
4.3.4 Daily Checks and Maintenance
Perform the following checks and recommended maintenance before operating the windrower every day.
1. Check the machine for leaks.
NOTE:
Use the proper procedure when searching for pressurized fluid leaks. For instructions, refer to 5.7.6 Hoses and Lines,
page 377.
2. Check for missing or broken parts.
3. Clean the windows and mirrors to ensure good visibility in all directions. Stand on the platform to access the rear
window. Hold onto the handholds on the cab front corners and stand on the header anti-slip strips to wash the front
window.
4. Clean all lights and reflective surfaces to maintain visibility to others.
5. Perform the daily maintenance procedure. For instructions, refer to 5.2 Windrower Break-In Inspections and
Maintenance Schedule, page 331.
Filling Fuel Tank
The symbol inside the fuel gauge on the Harvest Performance Tracker (HPT) display will signal the Operator when the fuel
level is low. Fill fuel tank daily, preferably at the end of the day’s operation to help prevent condensation in the tank.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
WARNING
• To avoid personal injury or death from explosion or fire, do NOT smoke or allow flame or sparks near the fuel tank
when refueling.
• NEVER refuel the windrower when the engine is hot or running.
• To avoid electric discharge and the risk of a fire or explosion, ensure that the fuel delivery system is properly
bonded and grounded. A bonded fuel delivery system has an electrically conductive and unbroken connection
between all components of the fuel delivery system (fuel supply tank, transfer pump, transfer hose, nozzle, and
others). A wire connection from the fuel delivery system to the machine chassis will equalize the static electric
potential between the two machines, further reducing the chance of a static electric discharge. A properly grounded
fuel delivery system has an electrically conductive connection from the fuel delivery system tank to earth ground to
allow static and electrical charge dissipation.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT allow the tank to empty. Running out of fuel can cause air locks and/or contamination of the fuel system. For
instructions, refer to Priming Fuel System, page 407.
1. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
