1)
The oil filler plug (63) is also the level screw (OIL LEVEL)
Cutter bar oil level check
• Under normal operating conditions, oil is to be
replenished annually.
NOVACAT X8:
X1 = 38 cm
1.
Lift one side of the mower bar (X1) and
support.
• The side where the oil refill screw is located remains
on the ground.
• Lift the other side of the mower bar about
X1
and
support with a suitable prop.
2.
Let mower bar stand in this position for some
15 minutes.
• This time is necessary to allow the oil to gather in
the lower area of the mower bar.
3.
Remove oil refill screw (63).
The oil level is measured at the oil refill screw hole.
Important!
In doing so the cutter bar must be in horizontal position.
- Take out oil filler plug (63) and top up oil "SAE 90"
4.
Oil level check
-
Measure the distance up to the level of the oil.
- The oil level is correct when the measurement is
12mm.
• Too much oil leads to the mower bar
overheating during operation.
• Too little oil does not guarantee the
necessary lubrication.
Changing oil
- Change oil after first 100 operating hours the at least
once a year
- Raise cutter bar on the outer side
- Take out oil drain plug (62), let run out
and duly dispose
waste oil.
Quantity:
NOVACAT X8:
3.5 litre SAE 90
Oil change on cutter bar
Note:
• Change oil when
at operating tem-
perature.
The oil is too vis-
cous when cold.
Too much old oil
remains stuck to
the gearwheels
and because of
this any sus-
pended matter
present cannot be
removed from the
gearing.
Note:
- Check the level of
the oil at a wor-
king temperature.
When cold, the oil
is too viscous.
Too much used
oil would stick to
the gear teeth,
thus giving a false
reading.
