DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from 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
Exercise caution when working around the blades. Blades are sharp and can cause serious injury. Wear
gloves when handling blades.
1. Start engine and raise self-propelled disc header.
2. Place a block under each side of the self-propelled disc
header so the right end (with the M18 cutterbar plug) is
lower than the end with the M18 cutterbar breather.
IMPORTANT:
Always drain lubricant from the M18 cutterbar breather
(A) on the right end of the header. Draining lubricant
from the M18 cutterbar breather on the left end of the
header may lead to breather contamination or failure.
3. Lower self-propelled disc header onto blocks, shut
down engine, and remove key.
4. Place a 10 liter (10.5 qts [US]) capacity container under
lower end of cutterbar, clean area around M18 cutterbar
plug (A), and remove plug.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT remove M10 hex head bolts (B) securing
cutterbar end plate (C) to cutterbar or lubricant leaks
could result.
5. Allow sufficient time for lubricant to drain, and install
M18 cutterbar plug (A).
