Checking the cutterbar oil level
Periodically check the cutterbar oil level:
- Place the cutterbar in horizontal position (with regards
to X and Y axis).
- Remove filler plug (1) and (2) as well as their seals.
- Through filler plugs, check that the oil level (h) is
comprised between 6 and 7 mm (0.24’’ - 0.28’’).
- Top up if necessary.
- Clean and reinstall filler plugs and their seals (1) and
(2). Replace if necessary.
If in doubt as to the oil quantity contained in the cutterbar,
fully drain and refill cutterbar respecting recommended
oil quantity and quality.
Before checking that the discs rotate freely by hand:
If it is found that the transmission case is very hot
to touch by hand, there is no cause of alarm
provided:
- Lubrication recommendations have been
respected.
- Discs can be rotated freely by hand when
the machine is hot
.
Turn off the engine, remove ignition key and
wait until all moving parts have come to a
complete stop.
Follow same procedure on the second cutterbar.
