OIL LEVEL
The oil in the cutterbar is very thick, especially when it is cold. Therefore, wait
minimum 15 minutes if the oil is cold and minimum 3 minutes it the oil is warm before
checking the oil level.
It is practical to place the machine in the correct position for oil level measuring (as
described below) when the working day is over to be sure that the oil is correctly
distributed the next morning and the oil level can be checked without any waiting
time.
Oil level
Fig. 4.1
To check the oil level, place the cutterbar horizontal, which should be checked by
means of a level tube, both lengthwise and crosswise.
On each cutterbar there are 2 plugs for inspection of oil level and filling.
The oil level must be between 7 and 9 mm, as an average of the measurements at
the filling holes.
Even if the cutterbar is inclined or curved up to 20 mm, the oil level is read as an
average of the two measurements.
These are placed between 3
rd
and 4
th
disc and between 5
th
and 6
th
disc.
In order to facilitate the oil check we recommend you to have a permanent "oil
measuring platform" on which the cutterbar can be placed when checking the oil
level. This means that the check for horizontal cutter bar with level tube as shown in
Fig. 4-1, need not be repeated every time the oil level is checked.
The oil level must be checked every day during the harvesting season at one of the
plugs.
