4.1.12 Checking and Adding Wheel Drive Lubricant
Ensure that the wheel drive lubricant level is correct to maximize the service life of the components.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition before leaving the operator's seat for any reason.
CAUTION
Park on a level surface with the ground speed lever (GSL) in the PARK position and the steering wheel in the locked
(centered) position. Wait for the Harvest Performance Tracker (HPT) to beep and display a red P symbol to confirm that
the parking brake is engaged.
1. Park the windrower on level ground.
2. Position the windrower so that plugs (A) and (B) are
horizontally aligned with center (C) of the hub.
3. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from
the ignition.
4. Remove plug (A) or (B). The lubricant should be visible
through the port. Some fluid may spill from the port.
5. If necessary, add lubricant until lubricant runs out from
open port (A) or (B). For lubricant specifications, refer to
6.1 Lubricants, Fluids, and System Capacities, page
IMPORTANT:
The lubricant used for the first wheel drive lubricant change
differs from the type of lubricant used at the factory. For
lubricant specifications, refer to
System Capacities, page
6. Reinstall the plug and tighten it to 24 Nm (18 lbf·ft).
4.1.13 Checking Traction Drive
The drive wheels should spin either at the same speed or at different speeds depending on how you steer the windrower.
DANGER
Ensure that all bystanders have cleared the area.
