1.
Park the windrower on level ground.
2.

’
clock position, and check plug (B) is at the 3 o
’
clock
position.
3.
Shut down the engine, and remove the key from
the ignition.
WARNING
Use caution when removing the plug, as the fluid may still be
under pressure.
4.
Remove check plug (B). The lubricant should be visible
through the port. Some lubricant may leak from the port.
5.
Reinstall check plug (B) and torque it to 7.5 Nm (6 lbf·ft).
6.
Reinstall fill/drain plug (A) and torque it to 24 Nm
(18 lbf·ft).

Caster Wheel Tires:
Inflate all caster wheel tires (B) to 110 kPa
(16 psi).
Drive Wheel Tires:
For optimal performance, drive wheel (A)
tire pressures are determined by tire type, header size, and
additional options. For drive wheel tire pressures, refer to the
