Checking Oil Level

Check oil level every 25 hours at lower (A) and upper (B)
sights with cutterbar just touching ground.

Check level

when oil is cold, and with center-link retracted.

• Maximum - Hilly Terrain (C): Maintain level so lower

sight (A) is full, and upper sight (B) is up to one-half filled.

• Nominal - Normal Terrain (D): Maintain level so lower

sight (A) is full, and upper sight (B) is empty.

• Minimum - Level Ground (E): For slopes of 6 degrees

or less, oil level may be kept slightly lower if desired.
Maintain level so lower sight (A) is one-half filled or
slightly higher.

NOTE:

When ambient temperatures are above 95°F
(35°C), it may be necessary to lower oil level
slightly to prevent overflow at breather under
operating temperatures.
