The hydraulic tank (1) in factory filled with 185 litres of multipurpose mineral oil SHELL AGROMA 15W40 .
Every 2 years or more often if necessary, drain the tank and replace the oil filter located underneath the top plug
(2) (photo 36). Fill with SHELL AGROMA 15W40 multipurpose oil or with an other mineral hydraulic oil of which
the viscosity corresponds to the ISO VG 100 and of HV type standards.
Regularly check the oil level of the hydraulic tank. The level is correct when located between the MINI and MAXI
marks of the sight glass (3) (photo 36). If necessary, adjust the oil level.
TO ENSURE TROUBLE FREE OPERATION OF YOUR MACHINE,
WE RECOMMEND SHELL LUBRICANTS.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORY
1° CHECK CHAIN KIT (No. 108 6530) (photo 29)
These chains may be recommended when operating with certain tractors with older style hydraulics which would
not allow a steady swivel head ground clearance to be maintained during work. They also help prevent the PTO
shaft from bottoming out should the lift linkage be lowered accidentally.
To install chains proceed as follows :
- Connect the tractor lower link arms to the hitch brackets (C) (see section Attachment of the machine).
- Raise the tractor hydraulic linkage until the swivel head lower links clear the ground by approx. 700 mm / 28".
- Attach one end of chains to hitch brackets (C) with D-hangers (H) and their other end to the tractor top link pin.
- Completely lower the tractor linkage. Height adjustment is correct when :
. lower link arms (T) are level,
. chains are tight,
. distance (A) between hitch pins and ground is 600 mm / 24" .
