5. Locate sight glass (A) on the right side of the hydraulic
fluid tank.
NOTE:
The sight glass allows the operator to visually inspect the oil
level and its quality. The sight glass can be seen with the
hood open or closed.
6. Ensure that the hydraulic oil level is between the low and
full indicator marks on the sight glass.
IMPORTANT:
If you do not see any oil in the sight glass, then the oil level
is below the ADD mark on the dipstick. This problem should
be addressed immediately.
7. If more oil is required to maintain the level between the
low and full indicator marks, refer to 5.13.3 Filling Hydraulic
Oil, page 425.
5.7.4 Checking Tire Pressure
The tires must be at the correct operating pressure. Check the pressure of the windrower tires using a tire pressure gauge.

Caster Wheel Tires: Inflate all caster wheel tires (B) to 110 kPa
(16 psi).
Drive Wheel Tires: For optimal performance, drive wheel (A)
tire pressures are determined by tire type, header size, and
additional options. For drive wheel tire pressures, refer to the
following table:
