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.
1. Park the windrower on a level surface.
2. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.

Figure 5.147: Plug Handle
4. Turn plug handle (A) counterclockwise until loose and then
remove the plug by pulling it straight out.
NOTE:
When filling oil at a fast rate, the screen element in the fill
tube restricts the oil and makes it difficult for air to escape.
Figure 5.148: Hydraulic Oil Tank
5. To improve oil fill rate through the screen, open the
breather cap (A) at the top of the tank to allow air to
escape.
IMPORTANT:
Whenever the breather cap is opened, clean the area and
take care to prevent debris from entering the tank through
the opening.
6. Add oil to maintain the level between the low and full
indicator marks. Refer to 5.1.4 Lubricants, Fluids, and
System Capacities, page 328 for hydraulic oil specifications
and quantity.
NOTE:
When the sight glass is showing LOW, approximately 4 liters
(1 U.S. gallon) is required to reach FULL.
7. Reinstall the plug, and turn plug handle (B) clockwise until
the plug is secure.
8. Close breather cap (A).
