The oil level must be checked every day during the harvesting season at one of
the plugs C.
Fig. 4-2 To check the oil level, place the cutter bar horizontal, which should be checked by
means of a level tube D, or two, both lengthwise and crosswise.
In order to facilitate the daily oil check we recommend you to have a permanent "oil
measuring platform" on which the cutter bar can be placed when checking the oil
level.
This means that the check for horizontal cutter bar with level tube as shown in Fig. 4-
4, need not be repeated every time the oil level is checked.
Fig. 4-3
Correct oil level:
n
5 -8 mm (Average value)
This oil level must be an average of the level
measured at both filling holes.
When the oil level has been checked wait 3 minutes,
if the oil is warm, and check again.
If the oil is cold wait 15 minutes before checking the
oil level again.
Oil change:
a
The first change of oil in the cutter bar must be made
after 10 working hours and then after every 200
working hours or at least once every season.
The easiest way to change the oil is to let the machine run a couple of minutes until
the oil is hot. At the same time this will ensure that impurities are mixed with the oil
and are removed when changing the oil.
Fig. 4-4 For oil change the cutter bar is raised minimum 150-200 mm from horizontal in
the right-hand side to ensure optimum emptying.
To get access to the drain plug of the cutter bar in the left-hand side, the outermost
guide shoe must be dismounted. After that the plug can be unscrewed and the oil
can be drained off.
REMEMBER: To mount the plug again after draining. The drain plug has a magnet
to collect metallic impurities. Therefore, always clean the plug before
remounting it.
