Operator's Manual

Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent hydraulic fluid until
the level reaches the bottom of the screen. DO
NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT: To prevent system contamination,
clean the tops of hydraulic fluid containers
before puncturing them. Assure the pour spout
and funnel are clean.
4. Install the reservoir cap. Wipe up any fluid that
may have spilled.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore,
release some of the air to reduce the pressure. Correct
air pressure is:
Front tires 55–83 kPa
Rear tire 55–103 kPa
CHECK THE REEL-TO-BEDKNIFE
CONTACT
Each day before operating, check the reel-to-bedknife
contact, regardless of whether nor not the quality of cut
had been acceptable. There must be light contact across
the full length of the reel and bedknife (refer to
Adjusting Reel to Bedknife in the Cutting Unit Operator's
Manual).
CHECK THE TORQUE OF THE
WHEEL NUTS
Before Operating
14
Torque the wheel nuts to 54–68 Nm after 1–4 hours of
operation and again after 10 hours of operation and
every 200 hours thereafter. Failure to maintain proper
torque could result in failure or wheel loss, and may
result in personal injury.
