5.10.8 Changing Engine Gearbox Lubricant
Change the engine gearbox lubricant after the first 50 hours, and then at every 250 hours or annually.
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.
CAUTION
Park on a flat, level surface with the header on the ground, the ground speed lever (GSL) in the PARK position, and the
steering wheel in the locked position (centered). To confirm that the parking brake is engaged, wait for the HPT to beep
and display a red P symbol.
NOTE:
It is best to change lubricant in the morning before it warms up. If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes before checking the
lubricant level to allow the lubricant to cool and settle in the sump.
1. Park the windrower on a level surface.
2. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
3. Place a 4 liter (1 U.S. gallon) drain pan under the gearbox.

there are any larger metal pieces, an inspection of the
gearbox will be required.
