CHECKING OIL IN THE CUTTERBAR (fig. 43 and 43 A)
Cutterbar oil level can be checked by measuring oil
level through both filler plugs (21) when the cutterbar is
perfectly horizontal lengthways and crosswise (X and
Y).
Use a spirit level to ascertain that this is the case.
Correct oil level is 6 to 7 mm (1/4") at both filler
plugs (21) (fig. 43).
If in doubt as to the amount of oil contained in the
cutterbar, do not add oil. Drain the oil completely and
refill with the prescribed quantity.
NOTE :
Provided above instructions are strictly observed, there is no cause for alarm if it is found that the
transmission case is very hot to touch, provided that the discs turn freely by hand.
Attention : Make sure that the tractor engine is shut off, ignition key removed and PTO shaft
disconnected before carrying out this operation.
