Checking Oil Level In Hydraulic Reservoir - MacDon FFT FD75 Assembly Instructions Manual

4.5 Checking Oil Level in Hydraulic Reservoir

1. Check oil level using lower sight (A) and upper sight (B)
with cutterbar just touching the ground.
NOTE:
Check level when oil is cold and with center-link
retracted.
2. Ensure oil is at appropriate level for terrain as follows:
•
Hilly terrain (C): Maintain level so lower sight (A) is
full, and upper sight (B) is up to one-half filled.
•
Normal terrain (D): Maintain level so lower sight (A)
is full, and upper sight (B) is empty.
•
Level ground (E): For slopes of 6° or less, oil level
may be kept slightly lower if desired. Maintain level
so lower sight (A) is one-half filled or slightly higher.
3. Maintain level for normal terrain (D) so lower sight (A) is
full, and upper sight (B) is empty.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to slightly reduce oil level when
ambient temperatures are above 35°C (95°F) to prevent
overflow at breather when normal operating
temperatures are reached.
