Pump Operating Pressure
The hydraulic pressures for the left and right
sides of the self-contained hydraulic system
are individually monitored with pressure
gauges, located on the upper left and right
corners of the hydraulic reservoir. While
operating the combine at full engine rpm, the
pressure gauges should indicate a pressure
range between 1,000 and 1,500 psi at normal
operating temperature.
New units will tend to have higher pressures
than those that have completed their break-in
period.
The pressures can also fluctuate during
normal cutting operations, as crop conditions,
the condition of the cutting system, draper
speed and ground speed change. The relief
valve is factory set at 2,800 psi. Upward
adjustment of the relief pressure is NOT
RECOMMENDED without consulting your
dealer or factory representative.
For cold weather start up (Temperatures below 10 °C/ 50 °F): It is necessary
to allow the oil to warm up prior to any cutting, especially in cold weather.
To warm the oil, engage header drive with the engine at idle. Allow the header
some time to warm the oil before increasing the engine to normal operating
rpm.
