BEVEL GEARBOX

Check the bevel gearbox oil every 50 hours. The oil
level should be at the bottom of check plug, 1.
Remove plug, 2, to add oil.
Change the bevel gearbox oil after the first 50 hours
of use to remove any contaminants from the break-in
process. After this, change the oil every 200 hours or
yearly, whichever occurs first. Drain oil by removing
plug, 1, with the cutter bar in the vertical (transport)
position. The bevel gearbox holds 1100 ml (37 oz.).
WARNING
Lower the three-point hitch to support the cutter
bar on blocking prior to draining the oil. Ensure
the transport lock is engaged. Failure to comply
could result in death or serious injury.
Maintain oil level using Hypoide 90 (API GL5 80W90)
gear oil or Hypoide SSL (75W90, synthetic).
