Maintenance

Bleeding the

hydraulic system

The hydraulic system for switching the knife groups of the OptiCut 23

HydroProtected is bled when:

•

the cylinders are replaced or

•

the OptiCut cutterbar is modified.

The outlet ports for the hydraulic system are located on the right-hand

side of the pick-up equipment. To do so, you need a hydraulic test ho-

se and a suitable flat catch pan for hydraulic oil.
Proceed as follows:

> Observe the safety instructions »Hydraulics«, page 100.

> Switch off the tractor's PTO shaft.

> Fit the hydraulic test hose to the outlet port of a knife group.

> Hang the end of the hydraulic test hose into a flat catch pan and

secure against unforeseen movements caused by a build-up of

pressure.

> Open both ball valves on the hydraulic manifold for the knife group

switching on the left-hand side of the implement.

> Switch the tractor on.

Switch on the AutoPlus-Pilotbox.
> Press the “ON/OFF” button.

> Press the “INFO” button...

> ...until the “Pick-up/Knives” symbol is displayed.

> Press the “GO” button...

> until the “Pick-up/Knives” symbol is selected on the display.

> Leave the lever on the tractor's control device in the position for

swivelling in the knife for approximately 5 seconds so that the air

can escape from the hydraulic system.

> Remove the hose.

> Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank.

Repeat the whole process for the other knife group.

You can procure a hydraulic test hose from your dealer.
