Breather Pin

The Model G0677 is shipped with a breather seal-
ing pin installed in the fill plug for the feed belt
gear box.
Remove this pin before using your machine (see
Figure 22); otherwise, the gear oil will expand
with heat and the seals in the gear box may leak
due to the pressure buildup.
You may want to keep this pin if you plan on stor-
ing your machine for a long period of time.
