7.8.2 Pickup gears
The machine is fitted with three gearboxes on the outside right and left of the pickup.
Park the machine on level ground. The oil level of the six gearboxes must be checked
daily with the pickup folded out and lowered. The oil level can be read in the inspec-
tion glass (2). It must be within the inspection glass range (in no case above the top
edge of the inspection glass!).
The first oil change is required after 50 operating hours, further oil changes must be
performed annually.
