Correct oil level (A) with cutter bar in horizontal position is 4 ÷ 5mm from the cutter bar
bottom. To check oil level remove inlet cap (1) located between the third and fourth disk -
figure (5.4). When oil is cold wait approximately 15 minutes before checking the oil level. Just
check the oil level on a level cutter bar.
Check oil level in cutter bar each time before beginning work.
First oil change should be made after 50 hours mower operation and then, after each 500
hours of operation or at least once in the season, whichever occurs first. Cutter bar is filled
with SAE90EP (80W90GL5) gear oil. It is best to change oil immediately after completing
work when cutter bar is still hot and impurities are suspended in oil.
