Maintenance

Filling quantities

Check the oil level with the machine horizontal only if there is visible
loss of oil. The oil level at the rotor gear is indicated by an inspection
glass.



Check the oil level at the rotor using the inspection glass.



Check the oil level at the angular gear box using the filling/drain
screw.



If there is a visible loss of oil, top up to the required volume.

Tyres

Tyre pressure

Check the tyre pressures on a regular basis:

•

daily.

•

before any road transport

•

as required (for example before setting the tine height).

•

before and after the season.
