Hydraulic Oil Cooler
The hydraulic oil cooler is located inside the cooling box behind the radiator.
It should be cleaned with compressed air every 100 hours of operation. Daily cleaning may be required if operating in
heavy debris conditions. For instructions, refer to 5.9.2 Cleaning Cooler Module, page 386.
Knife/Disc Drive Hydraulics
A single large piston hydraulic pump works in a closed-loop circuit providing oil to the knife/disc circuit. The pump will
maintain knife/disc speed at all normal operating engine speeds (>1500 rpm), regardless of varying loads on the header.
The pump requires charge flow in order to
• Replace oil from internal leakages
• Fill and maintain positive pressure in the work circuit
• Provide flushing flow for cooling, and introduce clean oil into the circuit.
Reel and Draper Hydraulics
The reel and draper circuits are powered by a gear pump. This allows independent oil flow to the reel and draper circuit
and separates oil flow from the knife pump. The header drive manifold manages flow control and relief for these circuits.
Traction Drive Hydraulics
The windrower traction drive consists of two variable displacement axial piston hydraulic pumps, one for each drive wheel.
The pump’s speeds are increased through a gearbox from the engine. Each pump requires charge flow in order to
• Replace oil from internal leakages
• Fill and maintain positive pressure in the work circuit
• Provide flushing flow for cooling (occurs at the motors), and introduce clean oil into the circuit.
