LUBRICATION
NOTE
: Provided above intructions are strictly observed, there is no cause for alarm if it is found that the transmission
case is very hot to touch, provided that the discs turn freely by hand. .
Attention
: Before carrying out this check, turn off the tractor engine, remove ignition key and disconnect the PTO
shaft.
To drain oil, remove magnetic drain plug (E) (photo 37) located underneath the cutterbar below the bevel gearbox.
Clean all metal particles off the magnetic drain plug before refitting.
IMPORTANT
: It is very important that the oil in the
bevel gearbox and the cutterbar be changed after the
first ten hours of use with E.P. SAE 80 GL4 OIL.
Thereafter, it should be changed every 200 hours of
use or at least once per year.
NOTE
: Oil should be drained immediately after use
while still warm.
The pressure relief valve (A) (photo 36) located on the
side of the bevel gearbox must also be unscrewed and
cleaned after the first ten hours and thereafter should
be checked and cleaned regularly. The ball detent
must be free to relieve pressure.
1° BEVEL GEARBOX
Check oil level once a day . Add oil through filler plug
(B) (photo 36) if required.
The maximum oil capacity of this gearbox is as shown
in the table below and
it is important not to exceed
this quantity.
GEARBOX OIL CAPACITY :
0.45 litre - 1 US pint - 0.75 Imp. pint
Plug (C) (photo 36) serves as a check plug when the
bar is horizontal. Remove plug (C). When oil level is
correct, it will just begin to flow out of the hole. Plug (C)
is also used as a drain plug when the cutterbar is in the
vertical transport position.
2° CUTTERBAR
Check oil level once a day. Add E.P. SAE 80 GL4 oil
to the cutterbar at fill plug (D) (photo 37). The oil level
is correct when oil flows out of the fill plug hole.
Note
: Make sure the cutterbar is in the vertical
position when checking or adding oil.
CUTTERBAR OIL CAPACITY :
2.00 litres - 3.5 Imp.pints - 4.25 US pints
