11.4 Drive units
The drive of the snapping unit can be shaft-driven or double joint coupling driven
(see “Setup procedure and adjustment of the corn head”). Grease the cardan cross
trough the fitting with Liton Ep2 until it extrudes from the part.
11.5 Input gearboxes
There is a 90 degree pinion gear in the input gearbox. SAE 80W-140 signed oil is
used for the lubrication of the drive. The oil level can be checked by screwing out
the closing bold (1). It is enough to check
the oil level once a year, if there is't any oil
flow or oil spill. The necessary amount is
0,9 liter.
The control must be performed when
adapter is in a work position! The oil drain
and oil filling bolts are on the nappe of the
gearbox (2), but the uploading can be
done through the holes of the cover, after
the closing screw(1) is removed.
Location of the oil checking bolts on the gearbox:
The "driving" gearbox is fixed in the low-
er position (for example: John Deere)
The "driving" gearbox is fixed in the up-
per position ( for example: Claas Lexion,
Fiat)
