MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

Hydraulic Oil Cooler

The hydraulic oil cooler is located inside the cooling box behind the radiator.
It should be cleaned with compressed air every 100 hours of operation. Daily cleaning may be required if operating in
heavy debris conditions. Refer to 5.9.2 Cleaning Cooler Module, page 305.

Knife/Disc Drive Hydraulics

A single piston hydraulic pump works in a closed-loop circuit providing oil to the knife/disc circuit.
The pump will maintain knife/disc speed at all normal operating engine speeds (>1500 rpm), regardless of varying loads on
the header.
The pump requires charge flow in order to:
• Replace oil from internal leakages
• Fill and maintain positive pressure in the work circuit
• Provide flushing flow for cooling, and introduce clean oil into the circuit

Reel and Draper Hydraulics

The reel and draper circuits are powered by a gear pump. This allows independent oil flow to the reel and draper circuit
and separates oil flow from the knife pump.
The header drive manifold manages flow control and relief for these circuits.

Traction Drive Hydraulics

The windrower traction drive consists of two variable displacement axial piston hydraulic pumps, one for each drive wheel.
The pump's speeds are increased through a gearbox from the engine. Each pump requires charge flow in order to:
• Replace oil from internal leakages
• Fill and maintain positive pressure in the work circuit
• Provide flushing flow for cooling (occurs at the motors), and introduce clean oil into the circuit
