Maintenance HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DANGER! Before carrying out any work on the hydraulic system, always switch off the engine, remove the ignition key (main switch key) and ensure that the machine cannot roll away (apply the handbrake, use wheel chocks).

For oil change and oil level check intervals – see page 7.1.1, Maintenance schedule and lubricants chart.

Bleeding the reel cylinders After any work on the hydraulic rams for the reel, they must be bleed for air.

1. Operate the hydraulic control unit to fully raise the reel up to the stop.

2. Loosen (do not remove!) bleed screw (A) on the cylinder.

A 1

3. Hold the switch on the multi-function lever in position «Raise reel». When the oil flows out of bleed screw (A) bubble-free, tighten the screw again.

Then raise and lower the reel several times.

4. The reel cylinders must operate synchronously, otherwise the bleeding procedure must be repeated.

(Fig. 1)

When the reel cylinders are fully drained, carry out the initial bleeding procedure with the reel removed from the machine, otherwise the reel could be damaged.

7.2.1

Maintenance Reel rams – Bleeding the fore and aft rams The hydraulic rams must be bleed, then the reel is no longer parallel with the cutterbar frame.

For this, extend the reel and keep the pressure on for between 15 and 20 seconds.

Should the reel not stay parallel after the rams have been bleed, then it may be necessary to check the rams out for leakages.

Maintenance

Maintenance WINTER STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS Proper storage of the cutterbar after the harvest is essential in order to obtain the optimum return on investment capital. Thorough and conscientious maintenance and cleaning and the replacement of worn or damaged parts at this point will save time and money when the cutterbar is required for operation.

1. Clean the exterior of all bearings from dust and grease.

2. Clean the cutterbar thoroughly.

3. Using good quality grease, lubricate all grease points of the cutterbar after the harvest, taking care not to miss any of those requiring only annual attention. Run the cutterbar for a short period of time to distribute the grease evenly and until the grease has slightly protruded from the bearings to form a seal.

Seal off peripheries and hubs of slip clutches with paint to keep moisture out and prevent friction surfaces from rusting.

4. Grease all other bare metal parts such as finger bars and crop lifters.

5. Change transmission oil – see page 7.1.1, Maintenance schedule.

6. Lower the cutterbar to the ground or remove it to relieve the load on the hydraulic system.

ATTENTION! If the cutterbar is washed (to be avoided if possible), all grease points must be greased after washing. Then let the cutterbar run for some minutes.

Hollow spaces such as bulkhead cable glands should not be cleaned with water.

The water cannot be completely removed from these hollow spaces, causing rust.
