Krone Disc Mower ?

[PJK]

I have a Krone disc mower (type AM 281)and am confused as to weather or not to fill bar with oil when mower is in down position or transport position?
Does anyone know for sure or can you tell me where I can find this information on the net?
Im new here and looks like a great place for good info.

When you say "fill bar" are you talking about a hydraulic resivour? If so, when filling the hydraulic resiviour on any piece of equipment the best position for the cylinders is in the retracted position. If you fill the system with all the cylinders extended when they are then retracted the resivour can become overfull and force fluid out the fill cap making a mess.

Thank you for your reply.
I am referring to the cutter bar and the 90 weight oil that lubricates the cutting discs.
Do I check the oil with the cutting bar in the up position or the down position?
Thanks

I have had a 283S for years now.You check and fill with it in the transport posistion.I change my 90W yearly.
