Miter gears
Every day before operation the oil level should be checked and if necessary topped off after
removing the plug A (Fig. 32) on the top of the gear box. Oil level is checked by removing
the control plug B on the side of the gear box. If the oil level is too low it should be refilled until oil
it comes out through the control opening B. The amount of oil in the gear box is approximately
1 liter. Oil level is checked with the cutterbar level on the ground.

should not be a concern since after long periods of work it can reach
temperatures up to 100°C.
