Checking Tire Pressure; Checking Engine Coolant - MacDon M2170 Operator's Manual

5. Locate sight glass (A) on the right side of the hydraulic
fluid tank.
NOTE:
The sight glass allows the Operator to visually inspect the
oil level and its quality. The sight glass can be inspected
while the hood is closed.
6. Ensure that the hydraulic oil level is between the low and
the full indicator marks on the sight glass.
IMPORTANT:
If the oil is not visible in the sight glass, then the oil level is
below the ADD mark on the dipstick. This problem should
be addressed immediately.
7. If more oil is required to maintain the level between the
low and full indicator marks, refer to
Oil Tank, page 451.

5.7.4 Checking Tire Pressure

The windrower's drive and caster tires must be inflated to the proper pressure level.
Caster wheel tires: Inflate all caster wheel tires (B) to
110 kPa (16 psi).
Drive wheel tires: Drive wheel (A) tire pressures are determined
by tire type, header size, and by the options installed on the
header. To determine the appropriate drive wheel tire
pressures, refer to 8.1 Ballast Kit, Booster Spring Kit, and Tire
Pressure Requirements, page

5.7.5 Checking Engine Coolant

Coolant is cycled through the engine to help reduce internal heat. The coolant must be at the appropriate level for the
cooling system to work correctly. Check the coolant level in the pressurized coolant tank daily.
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.
NOTE:
Ensure the engine has cooled down prior to checking.
1. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
2. Open the hood. For instructions, refer to
