7. LUBRICATING

7.1. Risks present when lubricating

If risk of splashing is present, make sure to wear protective eyewear with side guards.
❑
When lubricating protect eyes and skin against contact with the substance. Therefore use adequate
❑
protective wear with long sleeves and protective footwear. Also use protective gloves. In case of
a contact with skin, immediately wash the infected area with plenty of water with soap.
Do not allow the product to contaminate water outlets, water courses and soils.
❑
In case of an unintentional release to the environment plug the leak, limit the spillage, and then
❑
collect the oil with non-flammable absorbent material (e.g. sand).
The product is flammable. In case of fire, use adequate fire-extinguishing means (e.g. foam, water
❑
mist, extinguishing powders). Do not use water jets.
Disposal of the used product must be made according to official regulations. Improper disposal of
❑
the used oil poses danger to the environment.

7.2. Cutter bar

Cutter bar is filled with oil through plug closed hole (A) (Fig. 26a). Adequate oil level with
horizontal position of the cutter bar is 5÷7 mm from the cutter bar's bottom. To drain the oil use plug
(B) (Fig. 26b), found in lower section of the cutter bar. The best time to drain oil is immediately after
operation, if still warm.

7.3. Intersecting axis gear

On daily basis prior to work commencement check the oil level and, if needed, refill once
removing the vent (A) (Fig. 27) in upper section of the gear. Oil level is inspected by opening check
plug (B). If the oil level is too low refill the oil until it is visible in the check opening (B). Oil level in
gear: approx. 0.7 l. Oil level is checked after the cutter bar is set horizontally on the ground.
