General information

General information ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

Registration

In addition to the driving licence, the operator must always carry the copy of the vehicle type approval registration issued by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (the Federal Motor Vehicle Executive). A warning triangle and, on machines over 4 t permissible total weight, at least one wheel chock must always be carried on the combine.

As a self-propelled working machine with a maximum speed of up to 20 km/h, the combine is not subject to normal registration regulations and is not required to bear a registration plate. The machine must, however, be clearly and indelibly marked on the left-hand side with the Christian name and surname of the owner and his address.

When driving on public roads with the combine, comply with all the requirements stated under letter C in the copy of the vehicle type approval registration (§ 18 Section 5 StVZO) issued by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (the Federal Motor Vehicle Executive).

The towing of trailers in the trailer hitch when driving on public roads is not permitted.

On machines with exceptional width (width over the tyres), a vehicle type approval registration for individual vehicles (single expert opinion) and a special approval in accordance with § 70, Section 1, clauses 1 and 2 of the StVZO must be carried instead of the machine's General Operating Permit.

Furthermore, all the requirements stated in the vehicle type approval registration for individual vehicles and in the special approval must be observed. The issue of a special approval differs from country to country. The excess width must be marked in accordance with the regulations for the marking of road vehicles with excess width (two marker boards at the front and back, protective bar, two amber flashing warning beacons).

IMPORTANT: Road traffic regulations may vary between countries. In case of discrepancies between the instructions provided by the manufacturer and the traffic regulations of the relevant countries, the traffic regulations of the countries concerned apply.

If any part(s) of the combine is/are subsequently modified whose condition is/are prescribed or the operation of which (after being modified) could represent a hazard to other road users, then the vehicle type approval registration shall no longer be valid and application must be made for a new vehicle type approval registration. In this case the machine must be presented to the motor vehicle safety inspection authority responsible (TÜV) in order to obtain an expert opinion certificate (§ 19 section 2 StVZO).

If you are in any doubt as to whether this situation applies in your case, please contact us as manufacturers.

If a transport vehicle for front end attachments is towed behind the combine then the cable for the lighting system must be connected and the good condition of the lighting system assured.

If the combine is equipped with a maize picker head or a folding cutterbar, the regulations and requirements of the machine's General Operating Permit must be observed, in particular the requirements concerning ballast weights and tyres.

2. The carrying of passengers is otherwise not permitted!

Operation 1. Observe the maximum permissible axle loads and total weights.

2. The operating, steering and braking behaviour of the combine will be affected, e.g. by the road surface and by attaching implements. Therefore always adapt your speed to the terrain and ground conditions. It must be insisted that particular care is taken when operating and turning on a slope and when the grain tank is full.

Never take the transmission out of gear when driving on a slope or on uneven terrain!

3. The grain tank must be empty when driving on public roads and lanes.

4. Never leave the operator's platform / cab when driving.

5. Stay a safe distance away from low over-head power lines (watch radio and CB radio antennas, if installed).

6. When driving on roads with a raised front attachment, the safety rocker switch must be switched off.

7. Before driving the machine and before starting fieldwork adjust the mirrors to give full view of the road or lane and working area behind!

4.1.2

3. Knives, the cutterbar, intake auger and reel etc. cannot be completely shielded by constructional measures due to their function. For this reason, an adequate safety distance must be maintained to these moving elements during operation!

4. Gatherer chains and snapping rolls of the corn head (maize picker head) cannot be completely shielded by constructional measures due to their function. For this reason, an adequate safety distance must be maintained to these moving elements during operation also! These instructions apply analogously for all other attachments!

5. The straw chopper has safety guards surrounding dangerous rotating knives which continue to rotate for a while after the drive has been disengaged. For this reason, an adequate safety distance should be maintained to the straw chopper until the drive has come to a complete standstill.

6. The augers located inside the grain tank cannot be shielded completely against accidental contact due to their function. Use a rod to clear blockages and a scoop or similar vessel to take grain samples – never use your hands or feet.

7. Before mounting or entering the grain tank, make sure that the drive is disengaged and that the engine has been stopped. Ensure that no other person can restart the engine.

BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial - 298 367.0

Safety rules 8. When travelling on public roads and lanes, the finger bar and/or crop lifters must be covered when carrying the cutterbar.

Compressor-type air conditioner 1. The air conditioning system is filled with HFC refrigerant R 134A. HFC refrigerants must not be vented to the atmosphere. – Therefore, please take appropriate precautions when working on the compressor-type air conditioner.

2. Maintenance and repairs are only to be carried out by authorized service centres qualified to handle refrigerants. Refrigerants must always be discharged by use of the correct recovery equipment and disposed of for recycling.

Hydraulic accumulators Take particular care when working on hydraulic accumulators! Hydraulic accumulators are under high pressure!

In the case of valve-controlled accumulators such as for the Autopilot, the short-circuit screw has to be loosened before starting repair work on the accumulator so that the hydraulic pressure is relieved.

Before putting the machine into operation, read the operator's manual and follow the safety precautions!

Service 1. Repair, service and cleaning work and the elimination of malfunctions should only be performed with the drive and engine switched off.

Remove the main switch key (ignition key)!

2. Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If any fluid is injected into the skin, consult a doctor immediately as otherwise serious infections may result!

3. Be careful when opening the radiator filler cap.

As long as the engine is hot, the radiator is under pressure.

4. Dispose of oil, fuel and filters in a way that is harmless to the environment and in accordance with existing anti-pollution regulations.

5. Do not attempt to mount a tyre unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job safely.

6. Retighten the wheel nuts and wheel bolts regularly.

7. Only have qualified workshops carry out repair work on the hydraulic system.

Basic rule Always check the operating and road safety of the combine before starting the machine.

Noise level The noise level at the ear of the driver in the cab with doors and windows closed is 82 db (A).

Description and function of the combine Cutterbar

Crop

Crop dividers separate the standing grain from the grain which is to be cut.

Grain, chaff, short straw Grain

Crop lifters lift lodged crops and avoid cutting losses in crops with hanging heads.

The reel moves the cut crop to the main table auger.

The auger flights move the material to the cutterbar centre where the feed rake delivers it to the drum for threshing. The stone trap collects solid objects brought up by the feed rake. This helps to protect the threshing parts from damage through foreign objects to a great extent.

5.2.2

Returns Straw Chaff (Fig. 2)

BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial - 298 367.0

Specifications Threshing parts Threshing is performed by drum and concave. The bulk of grain together with chaff and broken straw passes through the concave onto the preparation floor of the sieve pan. The impeller delivers the straw and remainder of grain to the straw walkers.

A deflector curtain behind the impeller holds back bouncing grains and deflects the kernels down onto the front of the straw walkers.

Straw walkers The straw walkers separate the remainder of grain from the straw. The straw is either removed out of the combine through the rear hood or undergoes further processing by special attachments (e. g. straw chopper). The kernels separated by the straw walkers are returned to the sieve pan via the under-walker pockets.

Cleaning Grain mixed with chaff and broken straw is fluffed by means of the shaking action of the preparation floor and at the same time moved onto the sieves.

The wind blast of the cleaning fan blows the light particles of chaff to the rear, out of the machine. The grain falls through the upper sieve and lower sieves into the clean grain auger trough and is lifted by the clean grain elevator into the grain tank. Shaking action of upper sieve is opposed to shaking action of lower sieve. All parts heavier than chaff and bigger than grain, travel over the upper sieve and lower sieve, drop into the returns auger and are moved to the returns elevator. The elevator carries the returns to the drum for further threshing. Swinging the grain tank unloading tube into operating position allows the grain tank to be quickly emptied into a truck or trailer alongside the combine.

Disawning When combining grain which is unusually hard to disawn or in which it is hard to separate the seeds from the heads or husks, two filler rasp bars can be fitted to the concave.

298 367.0 - BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial

5.2.3

Specifications Basic rules for combining

Please consider when combining: 1. Wait until the crop has fully ripened – do not combine beforehand! (Higher yield, less moisture content and easier threshing are the result.)

2. Where the heads are bent, install grain lifters close together. Where the crop is lodged, install grain lifters farther apart (on every fourth to sixth cutterbar finger).

3. Where straw and grain are brittle, set the threshing concave wider and reduce the threshing drum speed. Too much short straw impedes the cleaning process. Cracked grain lowers the quality.

4. Where the straw is long, damp and tough, narrow the threshing concave clearance and increase the threshing drum speed.

5. Under damp conditions and where badly lodged crops are also grown through with greenstuff, clean the threshing concave, straw walkers and sieves regularly.

6. Remember that the vital part of the cleaning process is the blast of the fan. Prevent the forming of »mats« on the sieves and unnecessary grain losses by using enough wind, adjusting the frogmouth sieve correctly and using a flat sieve of sufficient hole size.

7. When combining crops in which it is hard to remove the awns, two filler rasp bars can be fitted to the concave.

8. To get the best results from your combine run it at the right speed. Therefore, check the speed on the straw walker shaft before the harvest. Correct speed is 220 -5 rpm.

9. Correct cleaning of the air cleaner as well as clean fuel and regular oil changes are essential for high performance and long life of the engine.

6.2.3

Prior to operation Putting the air conditioner into operation 1. Adjust both service valves to their fully open (back seated) position and tighten them in that position so that the valve seating faces will seal off properly also toward the outside.

2. Then check the filling ports (V) and fittings on the compressor for leaks.

3. Install the in-Iine fuse (the cable with the in-line fuse is located between the grain tank and the engine).

CAUTION! Under no circumstances must the in-Iine fuse for the air conditioner system be installed with the valves on the compressor closed.

On machines with cab heater open the bypass flap by moving lever (1) to »down« position. Start the Diesel engine. Set the double fan to the desired position 1 – 3, using switch (4). Turn the air conditioner thermostatic switch (5) in clockwise direction in order to preset the desired temperature. The air conditioner is now turned on.

Through the recirculating air grille (6), previously cooled inside air is drawn from the cab and mixed with filtered outside air. The blend is further cooled and pushed through louvres (8) and (7) into the cab. The adjustable air louvres (8) and (7) allow the operator to control the direction of air flow. Air louvres (7) can be closed, if required.

As the temperature reaches the desired low point, a thermostat switch in conjunction with an electro-magnetic clutch disengages the compressor.

The compressor is automatically engaged as the temperature rises.

The compressor-type air conditioner can only work well if the door and the windows are closed.

(Fig. 2) CAUTION! Your health is at risk when the difference in temperature between the inside air and outside air exceeds 8 °C to 10 °C (46 °F to 50 °F).

Possible cause and / or remedy

Compressor-type air conditioner does not cool.

Only uncooled air comes out of the air louvres.

1. Electromagnetic clutch does not switch. Have clutch replaced.

2. V-belt slack. Tension or replace V-belt.

3. Cable connections loose. Tighten loose cable connections.

4. Fuses defective. Replace fuse.

5. Compressor does not pump refrigerant, expansion valve frozen. Saturation point of the moisture indicator reached (blue bead has turned pink). Have filter drier replaced. For this, the refrigerant has to be drawn off and then the system recharged.

Cool air is blown through the air louvres, but the air flow is insufficient to cool the cab.

1. Evaporator in cab roof is soiled. Clean evaporator.

2. Evaporator defective. Replace evaporator.

(Draw off the refrigerant and then have the system recharged.)

3. Condenser upstream of the radiator soiled.

Clean condenser.

4. Refrigerant level too low. White bead does not float, it is at the bottom of the sight glass. Have cooling system checked by the air conditioning service company.

5. Outside air enters the cab. Close all windows and doors tightly.

Air conditioner provides cool air for a time, then discharges warm air again.

1. Ice formation in the expansion valve. Filter drier saturated. Blue bead has turned pink. Have filter-drier replaced. (Draw off the refrigerant and then have the system recharged.)

Compressor too noisy.

1. Compressor bearing damaged. Have compressor repaired or replace compressor. For this, the refrigerant has to be drawn off and then the system recharged.

2. Oil level in the compressor too low (identifiable from external leakage). Have repair carried out by a specialist workshop. Check the compressor oil level only when the refrigerant has been drawn off from the system.

Moisture in cab. Water dripping from air louvres.

Prior to operation Stopping the combine 1. Depress the clutch pedal.

2. Depress the foot brake pedals.

3. Shift the gear shift lever to neutral.

DANGER! Before leaving the combine stop the engine, remove the ignition key, set the parking brake and, if parking the machine on sloping ground, secure the machine additionally by putting wheel chocks in front or behind the wheels.

Driving behaviour DANGER! The driving behaviour of a combine is influenced by the ground conditions and by the front attachment (e.g. cutterbar). Therefore always adapt your driving style and speed to the ground or road conditions.

Take particular care when working and turning on hillsides, particularly with a full grain tank.

Steering The hydrostatic steering enables easy steering of the combine with the rear wheels.

Drive carefully on public roads and when turning: sharp turns make the combine swing wide! The steering continues to function even with the engine stopped. However, the effort needed is much higher.

Brakes Foot brake DANGER! Always lock the brake pedals together before moving the machine on public roads and lanes and check brakes for equal effectiveness on both the drive wheels.

5

The foot brakes are designed to work independently when the pedal lock is removed to facilitate turning sharp corners. Caution, use brakes carefully on hilly ground!

(Fig. 5)

298 367.0 - BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial

6.3.3

Prior to operation

The foot brake must grip when the brake pedal is depressed by one third of its total travel.

(Fig. 6) DANGER! Always make sure that the brakes function correctly. It is most important to inspect the brake linings periodically!

The brake system must be adjusted, serviced and repaired only by authorized workshops.

6

Handbrake Brake action of handbrake (H) is independent of foot brake action. The handbrake must be effective with the handle locked in the first 3 to 4 teeth in the segment.

For reasons of safe operating conditions make sure that the ratchet will always lock securely in the segment, even after the machine has been in use for a prolonged period of time.

Operation – cutterbar ADJUSTMENTS AT THE CUTTERBAR DANGER! Knives, the cutterbar, mover bar, auger and reel etc. cannot be completely shielded by constructional measures due to their function.

For this reason, an adequate safety distance must be maintained to these moving elements during operation!

Safely support the attached cutterbar before working underneath it.

Crop dividers The three-sectional crop divider consists of the divider (A), the adjustable short inner deflector (B) and the long outer deflector (C). The crop divider is attached to the cutterbar by a quick release device, and is available in a short version (for short strawed crops) and a long version.

Position the divider close to the reel.

1

Adjust the crop divider in height by means of the slide (S) to prevent the crop divider point from dragging on the ground or digging in on undulating ground.

(Fig. 1, 2)

Outer deflector The purpose of the outer deflector (C) is to push the leaning crop back into the field. Sidelong and height adjustment is made with the telescopic tube after loosening the toggle bolts (5 and 6).

(Fig. 1)

2

Inner deflector The inner deflector (B) leads the crop towards the cutterbar centre and impedes wrapping at the reel shaft. Hang in the inner deflector in a way so that it does not chock the reel.

298 367.0 - BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial

7.2.1

Operation – cutterbar Special crop divider (extra equipment) The slim shape of the special crop divider allows a neat separation especially with beans, peas and similar crops. In addition, with crops which fall out easily, such losses are reduced considerably in the separation area.

(Fig. 3)

3

Grain lifters The number of grain lifters to be fitted depends on the condition of the crop.

In down and weedy crops fit a lifter on every fourth to sixth knife finger, and in short strawed standing crops with the heads hanging down, fit lifters closer together.

After dismantling or disconnecting any parts of the reel hydraulic system, the system must be bled (see group »Maintenance«).

BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial - 298 367.0

Operation – cutterbar Adjusting the tension of the reel drive chain The chain tension is automatically controlled by a spring-Ioaded cylinder.

Adjusting the spring-Ioaded cylinder Slacken lock nut (1) and adjust cylinder tube (2) until the stop washer in the cylinder tube (2) can be seen in the centre of hole (W).

CAUTION!

12

Be sure that pin (F) is inserted in the front hole.

When working on the reel drive chain or when relocating the reel, block the spring-Ioaded cylinder by inserting spring clip (N) in the hole (W).

After finishing work, reposition the spring clip into the front hole.

(Fig. 12)

Safety features: The reel is fitted with a slip clutch (R) which protects it from damage through overloading.

Never tighten the slip clutch to such an extent that it becomes blocked and thereby fails to function as a safety device.

Operation – cutterbar Hydraulic fore and aft reel adjustment By means of the two horizontally fitted double-acting hydraulic cylinders (H) the reel can be adjusted fore and aft from the operator's platform to match crop conditions.

(Fig. 14)

14 Move hydraulic control lever (S) to the front in direction (A) = forward adjustment of reel.

Move lever (S) back in direction (B) = backward adjustment of reel.

(Fig. 15)

15 Under normal crop conditions the reel should be vertical over the knife. Only in badly lodged crops, especially when the crop can only be taken in butt end first, must the reel be set all the way forward. Make sure the reel is parallel to the knife.

Reel tines: A vertical setting of reel tines, or slightly forward of vertical, is best in most cases. In badly lodged crops or very short-strawed crops the reel tines should be set backward by relocating lever (B) in the perforated segment (C). This gives a more aggressive pick-up.

(Fig. 16)

CAUTION! 16

7.2.6

Adjusting the tines of the reel too much to the rear causes the reel to wrap.

BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial - 298 367.0

Operation – cutterbar Variable speed reel drive The reel speed can be variably adjusted to the ground speed. The speed of the reel should always be somewhat faster than the ground speed.

Excessive reel speed will cause losses when combining delicate crops that shed easily, and too slow a reel speed leaves the crop bunching up on the cutterbar.

The intermediate roller drive chain can be retensioned with adjusting bolt (S). Do not overtension the chain.

17

Vary the reel speed only when the cutterbar is operating! The reel speed is adjusted from the driver's platform by means of a crank.

Operation – cutterbar Main table auger Basic setting of auger is with a gap of approx. 15 mm between auger flights (S) and bottom of cutterbar through.

When thick swaths have to be picked up the main table auger should be raised to avoid overloading of the auger. When the crop is bulky, raise the main table auger to reduce the amount of broken straw.

19

The auger flights (S) move the material to the cutterbar centre where the retractable fingers (F) feed the crop under the auger to the feeder house. Damaged fingers should immediately be repaired or replaced by new ones.

(Fig. 19)

The auger position is adjusted by means of adjusting bolts (2) on either side of the cutterbar, after bolts (1) have been slackened.

Once bolt (3) has been removed, timing of retractable fingers can be adjusted by repositioning control lever (B).

In short-strawed crops move the lever further upwards to extend the throwing action of the fingers at the rear.

20

When combining bulky crops move the lever further downwards, this way the fingers are made to extend sooner at the front.

In normal conditions the lever should be placed somewhere in the centre.

(Fig. 20)

Safety device: The main table auger is fitted with a slip clutch (R) which protects it from damage through overloading.

Never tighten the slip clutch to such an extent that it becomes blocked and thereby fails to function as a safety device.

Cutterbar reverse drive By operating the push button switch, the rotation of the main table auger, reel and feed rake can be reversed in case of plugging. The crop is ejected to the front.

The electric motor (E) is supplied with power directly from the battery. The pinion of the motor engages with the large gear on the upper feed rake shaft, which then turns the shaft in reverse.

Just operate the electric motor (E) briefly by means of the push button switch, and never longer than 10 seconds.

3

The starter cable for the reverser motor runs to the push button switch at the front of the instrument console via a relay and a switch on the cutterbar engagement/disengagement mechanism. This is to assure that the reverser can only be engaged with the engine running and cutterbar drive disengaged.

ATTENTION! Before engaging the reverser unit, all movement of the feed rake and cutterbar drive mechanisms must have stopped.

Lower the reel to its deepest position. This prevents material building up at the intake auger.

Stone trap A stone trap (M) at the front of the concave is a safeguard against stones and other foreign objects damaging the threshing parts.

Clean the stone trap daily. When working in fields which are stony and when threshing lodged grain, the stone trap should be cleaned at shorter intervals.

DANGER! 1

When working under the attached cutterbar, always be sure it is securely supported!

Raise the cutterbar to maximum height, unlock cover (K) by twisting the locking pins (R) and take out the cover to the front. This gives free access to the stone trap and the foreign objects can be easily removed.

Operation – basic machine Threshing drum The drum (1) can only work efficiently when the rasp bars are straight and not too worn. The drum was balanced at the factory. Therefore, when replacing the rasp bars, always fit bars of the same weight and have the threshing drum balanced. The rasp bars must fit tightly to the drum plates.

(Fig. 7)

7 Retighten the securing bolts after the first 10 hours of work.

Drum repairs should only be carried out by a specialist!

Cleaning the threshing parts When working in green and damp crops, the drum, the concave, the space behind the concave and the front of the preparing floor can quickly become clogged with dirt.

Then the separation through the concave is lessened, the straw walkers are overloaded, the drum gets unbalanced and the sieves are unevenly fed.

8

To ensure trouble-free operation of the combine, it is essential to check these parts regularly for dirt and to clean them if necessary.

The rasp bars should be kept equally clean to prevent the drum becoming unbalanced. Large inspection holes (N) facilitate checking and cleaning, once the doors have been removed.

(Fig. 8)

8.2.3

Operation – basic machine Drum variable speed pulleys On-the-go variation of drum speed combined with concave adjustments which can be carried out from the platform allow quick changes of threshing operations in order to match crop conditions. Damp long-strawed crops as well as crops difficult to thresh and disawn require faster drum speeds than dry and brittle crops.

For drum speed regulation by means of the hydraulic control unit consult group »Prior to operation«.

9

Drum drive is transmitted from the impeller shaft by way of hydraulically adjustable speed pulley (1), wide section V-belt (2) and spring-Ioaded variable speed pulley (3).

The variable speed pulleys allow infinitely variable drum speed from 650 to 1550 rpm.

(Fig. 9)

Slow speed threshing drum drive kit (Chain drive) An optional chain drive kit for threshing crop that cracks easily can be installed in place of the drum variable speed drive. Three speeds can be obtained by changing sprockets (B). An additional fourth speed can be obtained by replacing sprocket (A) on the impeller shaft.

Sprocket A - 17 teeth Sprocket B - 64 teeth = 300 rpm 10

Sprocket A - 17 teeth Sprocket B - 45 teeth = 430 rpm Sprocket A - 17 teeth Sprocket B - 35 teeth = 550 rpm Additional speed Sprocket A - 15 teeth Sprocket B - 64 teeth = 265 rpm For a speed of 550 rpm on the drum, the standard length of chain with 72 rollers is used. For 430 rpm add a length of 6 rollers, for a speed of 300 rpm and for a speed of 265 rpm add an additional length of 10 rollers to the chain.

Tension the chain moderately at the tensioning screw (S) with lock bolt (K) loosened. Ensure that the lock bolt is tightened after tensioning.

Stick a suitable and sufficiently long lever (flat bar, a pipe or something similar) into the segment (L) provided for that purpose and turn the drum in the opposite direction of rotation.

When removing the straw through the drum access door care must be taken to prevent accidental rotation of the drum by yourself or any other person working on the machine. – Beware of personal injury!

(Fig. 11)

Disawning In certain crops where disawning, rubbing out of grain and removal of husks turns out to be a problem, proper threshing may be obtained by fitting filler rasp bars to the concave entry. The combine comes from the factory with one filler rasp bar installed. A second filler rasp bar can be installed as necessary.

8.3.3

Operation – basic machine Preparation floor Both the mixture of chaff-grain-broken straw from the concave and that from the straw walkers pour onto the preparing floor (1). The mixture is fluffed and evenly fed to the upper sieve (3) through the shaking action of the sieve pan.

Whenever the preparation floor becomes caked with dirt, uneven flow of the crop to the sieves results, which not only causes overloading of the sieves but also results in grain losses.

8

Keep preparation floor always clean!

The bulk of grain, when leaving the preparation floor, falls through the wire rake (2) onto the frogmouth sieve whereas coarse and heavier particles are retained somewhat longer. Build-up of material on the wire rake is caused by bent tines which must be straightened.

(Fig. 8)

Pulling out the preparation floor The stepped preparation floor section (S) may be pulled out to the rear for cleaning the threshing concave and the preparation floor.

Remove the frogmouth sieve, loosen the hooks (H) underneath the preparation floor and pull out the stepped preparation floor section.

Cleaning fan The cleaning fan blows all light particles out of the machine from below, and excessive »matting« of grain, chaff and broken straw on the upper sieve can be prevented by having a sufficient volume of wind.

The wind blast also helps to fluff the material.

Adjusting the fan indicator:

11

When starting up, adjust the fan variator to lowest speed. Loosen clamp (K) and set the plastic indicator rod (P) so that the coloured cap is on the lowest number of the indicator scale (S).

The indicated figure on the scale is to be multiplied by 100 to determine the approximate fan rpm.

Regulating the wind volume: The wind volume is infinitely variable by operating crank (A): To increase wind = turn crank clockwise (+) To decrease wind = turn crank anti-clockwise (–) Spring (F) produces pressure on a brake to hold the crank in a stationary position.

12

As a general rule, as much wind as possible should be used, depending on crop conditions. Operate variable fan drive only with combine running.

(Fig. 11, 12)

298 367.0 - BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial

8.3.5

Operation – basic machine Adjusting wind direction: The windboard in the fan housing throat can be adjusted to five positions by lever (H).

Normal position for grain: 2nd hole from the bottom.

The lever position corresponds with the position of the windboard. With lever (H) in normal position, there should be a clearance of 68 mm between the windboard and the bottom of the fan housing.

For heavy seeds: Adjust the windboard steeper.

For light seeds: Adjust the windboard flatter.

13

Unscrew the hexagon bolt for carrying out adjustments.

(Fig. 13, 14)

14 Fan shutters for combining grass seed and other special crops When combining particularly light seeds, the blast from the fan may still be excessive in spite of the fact that the fan is running at minimum speed. In these cases the air blast can be further reduced by inserting shutters (H) in the apertures to the cleaning fan. The fan shutters must be installed on each side of the cleaning fan. By turning the shutters, the wind volume can additionally be decreased or increased as required.

Lever (5) is used to adjust the upper frogmouth sieve over its full length, including the integrated extension (4). Lever (6) only adjusts the integrated frogmouth sieve extension (4). Always adjust the integrated frogmouth sieve extension (4) wider open than frogmouth sieve (3).

16

The setting is correct if the grain is screened out after passing over three quarters of the sieving area.

The integrated frogmouth sieve extension (4) is to be adjusted for all crops to give a gap wide enough to allow unthreshed material to drop and join the tailings.

With adjusting lever (7), the lower frogmouth sieve gaps can be adjusted closer or wider. The lever is located on the left-hand side of the machine.

E = closer W = wider (Fig. 16, 17)

Dynamic sidehill levelling (3-D cleaning system) The 3-D-system moves the upper sieve in three directions: 1. Back and forth 2. Up and down 3. Sideways, »up the slope«

The 3-D design uses an additional pivot arm (A), which connects to the centre of the upper sieve, on the left hand side of the machine. As the degree of slope changes, control unit (S) sets pivot arm (A) at different angles to the upper sieve by way of hydraulic cylinder (Z) and operating arm (B). As the slope gets steeper, the sideway thrust of the upper sieve becomes stronger, moving the material »up the slope«.

Divisions on sieves are not required.

BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial - 298 367.0

Operation – basic machine Returns Coarse particles (e. g. unthreshed material) fall from the upper sieve and from the end of lower sieve into the returns auger which moves the material to the returns elevator. The elevator carries the returns to the drum for second threshing.

Excessive returns can be caused by: 1. Improper adjustments of the threshing parts, concave, speed of threshing drum (excessive amounts of cracked grain).

2. Lips of frogmouth sieves set too close or too small a hole size chosen for the lower sieve.

3. Air blast from the fan too strong or too weak.

4. Ground speed too fast.

22

Excessive amounts of returns reduce combine throughout and cause kernel damage and grain losses.

(Fig. 22)

Checking the returns: Operate lever (H) to open inspection door (2). Opening (O) allows the amount and mixture of the returns to be checked while the combine is operated.

(Fig. 23)

23

Combine performance monitor The electronic performance monitor allows the operator to make full use of the capacity of the combine. As the instrument on the operator's platform indicates changes in threshing losses of grain, the operator can always drive at optimum working speed as long as grain losses do not exceed the acceptable level.

Straw walkers: 24

Sensors (S) are fitted to the two outside straw walkers.

Grain that is lost over the back of the combine with the straw falls through spouts onto the sensors (S).

(Fig. 24)

298 367.0 - BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial

8.3.9

Operation – basic machine Sieve pan: Grain losses over the sieve pan are registered by sensor (T).

(Fig. 25)

25 The pulses produced will be electronically amplified and shown by the light bands in the meter.

The sensors extent over the full width of the machine, so that losses are also registered when the load is not evenly spread and when combining on slopes. The number of lights illuminated in the meter light bands (D) for sieve pan and (E) for straw walkers depends on the number of kernels dropping on the sensors.

Straw and chaff produce only faint impulses which are sorted out by means of the amplifier and not shown by the meter light.

26

Since the various kinds of grain have their specific properties (as shape of kernels, awns, amount of leaves on the straw etc.), a different number of grains strike the sensors although actual grain losses are the same. For this reason it is essential to adjust the sensitivity of each sensor to grain type and crop conditions (damp straw, green material present etc.) with switch (A) for the sieve pan and with switch (B) for the straw walkers. Use any of seven positions.

(Fig. 26) While losses of grain over the straw walkers take place mostly when the combine is overloaded, sieve pan losses are mostly caused by faulty combine adjustments.

Check the field losses in the swath. a) If loss is at a acceptable level, continue operation with selected setting. b) If the straw walker losses are too high, turn switch (B) to a higher position (about one half to one full setting higher). Now adjust forward speed until the fourth or fifth light in the meters light up again.

If the loss rate, indicated by the fourth or fifth bulb in the meters, is acceptable, the capacity of the combine is fully utilized at this forward speed.

The performance monitor should be adjusted as described to suit changing losses in the morning, when the crop is wet with dew, at noon, when the crop is absolutely dry and in the evening, when the crop gets gradually damp.

Operation – basic machine

Operation – basic machine GRAIN DELIVERY DANGER! Repair, service and cleaning work and the elimination of malfunctions should only be performed with the drive and engine switched off. Remove the ignition key (main switch key)!

Augers and auger troughs Clean the clean grain and returns auger troughs when changing crops, or when plugging occurs. Open the auger flaps (4) only after the engine has been switched off and all mechanisms have stopped rotating.

(Fig. 1)

DANGER! At all times beware of sharp edges of augers.

– Risk of injury!

1

Elevators Sweep elevators move up the material in the lower and, respectively, front half of the housings. Rubber paddles are used for elevating the material. To check the chain tension, open the boot doors (L and N) of the clean grain and the returns elevators.

In the event of plugging, open the auger flaps as well as the elevator boot doors (L and N).

2

Before clearing a blockage, always stop the engine and wait until all mechanisms have stopped rotating.

Then remove that part of grain that can be reached by hand. Thereafter allow the machine to clear all material by gradually engaging the threshing mechanism. Always ensure that the flaps and doors are properly refitted and tightly closed.

(Fig. 2)

298 367.0 - BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial

8.4.1

Operation – basic machine Grain tank DANGER! The augers located inside the grain tank cannot be shielded completely against accidental contact due to their functions.

☞ Use a rod to clear blockages and a scoop or similar vessel to take grain samples – never use your hands or feet.

☞ Before entering the grain tank, be sure that the drive is disengaged and the engine has been stopped. Ensure that no other person can restart the engine.

Filling the grain tank: The grain is carried up into the tank by way of the clean grain elevator and filler auger (Z). The filler auger reaches to the middle of the tank, provides full and even filling of the tank and allows the tank to be filled to maximum capacity.

Safety screen (G) must always be in place when the combine is operated. This is essential in order to prevent accidents.

(Fig. 3) 3

Unloading the tank: The sloping grain tank bottom panels allow the grain to flow down to the horizontal cross auger (E). The grain is moved by the cross auger to the left (as arrowed) to the unloading tube auger, which then carries the grain into the transport vehicle.

Plates (B) are tapered to provide a wider feed gap to the cross auger on the Ieft-hand side than on the right-hand side. This keeps quickly flowing seeds from building up inside the unloading augers.

When combining poorly flowing seeds (e. g. grass seed or similar crops) remove one or both the plates as necessary.

(Fig. 3)

Operation – basic machine Hydraulic swing of grain tank unloading tube By operating hydraulic cylinder (A), the grain tank unloading tube is moved to the unloading position and back to transport position.

(Fig. 4)

DANGER! The grain tank unloading tube swings wide!

Always make sure that everybody is clear of the hazard before swinging the grain tank unloading tube.

Always move the grain tank unloading tube all the way to the transport position before moving the combine on public roads and lanes.

4

Swinging the grain tank unloading tube in or out Lever (H) in direction (T) = unloading tube out Lever (H) in direction (L) = unloading tube in ATTENTION! Only swing the grain tank tube in after the unloading augers have been disengaged and come to a complete stop.

298 367.0 - BA DOMINATOR 58 / 58 S / 48 Spezial

8.4.3

Operation – basic machine Safety feature To prevent damage, the belt drive clutch for the unloading augers is locked by way of a wire rope whenever the unloading tube has been swung to transport position. This prevents unintentional engagement of grain tank unloading augers with the unloading tube in transport position.

Hydraulic unloading tube swing: The operating linkage of the hydraulic control unit that controls the unloading tube swing is locked whenever the grain tank drive is engaged. This prevents unintentional engagement of grain tank unloading augers.

Safety feature adjustment Adjust the wire rope (D) with the unloading tube fully swung in. Tension the wire rope by adjusting the return pulley (U) until the rope is slightly under tension as it touches the swivel flange of the grain tank unloading tube. Firmly tighten the return pulley after carrying out the adjustment.

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

ATTENTION! If the combine is washed (which should be avoided, where possible), all the lubrication points must be lubricated after washing.

Then allow the combine to run for a few minutes and operate all the variable speed drives.

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

2. Clean the combine thoroughly inside and out, particularly the threshing drum, concave, the space behind the drum, the preparation floor, return floors and above the cleaning fan.

3. Using good quality grease, lubricate all grease points of the combine after the harvest, taking care not to miss any of those requiring only annual attention. Run the combine 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. With the combine still running, operate the variable speed drives to distribute the grease evenly between the sliding parts.

CAUTION! Hollow spaces such as cable lead-throughs should not be cleaned with water. In some cases the water can no longer be removed from the hollow spaces and can lead to rusting.

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

4. Open the elevator covers and auger troughs.

Remove the sieves.

5. Grease all polished parts such as knives and crop lifters.

6. Coat the inner flanks of the variable speed pulleys with corrosion inhibitor as far as possible.

7. Change the hydraulic and transmission oil – see Maintenance charts, see also group »Maintenance – engine«.

8. After cleaning, inspect the combine and have any necessary repairs carried out immediately.

9. Park the combine in a dry place where it is protected from the weather and where no commercial fertilisers are stored!

10. Lower the cutterbar to the ground or remove in order to relieve the hydraulic system.

11. Jack up the combine so that the full weight is not resting on the wheels.

Maintenance – Engine

DANGER! Always stop the engine and disconnect the battery isolator switch before working on the engine.

The efficiency of the combine depends essentially on the care given to the engine. Periodical checking, lubrication and cleaning of the engine are therefore of vital importance.

Fuel system ATTENTION! Observe specified quality requirements of oils and fuel. Store oils and fuel only in approved containers!

DANGER! Only fill up the tank with the engine stopped – DO NOT SMOKE!

Fuel tank Fuel tank capacity is 200 litres. The clear plastic hose (S) at the rear of the tank indicates the Ievel of fuel in the tank.

An additional electrical fuel gauge is Iocated in the combined instrument gauge on the operator's platform.

Use clean fuel only. Clean the sieve in the tank filler neck (1) from time to time with Diesel fuel. Renew sieve if damaged. Close filler cap tightly after refuelling.

5

Fill the fuel tank immediately after finishing work, as this will reduce condensation of water in the tank.

Drain off moisture and sediment which may have settled in the sump of the tank by removing the drain plug (2).

Maintenance – Engine ENGINE WINTER STORAGE

Operating the engine again

Meticulous care of the engine before the combine is put away for the winter is an ABSOLUTE MUST, since damage which could be caused in storage is very expensive to repair.

On combines where the coolant has been drained before winter storage, the cooling system must be re-filled.

The greatest dangers for engines not in daily use are:

Fill in 50 % corrosion inhibiting anti-freeze and 50 % water into the cooling system.

a) RUST that settles on all exposed smooth sliding faces, runs and bearing surfaces,

Mix an anti-corrosive additive well with the cooling water.

b) ACID that is inherent in grease and fuels of poor quality.

When the new combine is delivered ex works, 50 % corrosion inhibiting anti-freeze and 50 % water has been filled into the cooling system.

The following preservative materials are required: Anti-corrosive oil depending on engine type (see Lubricants chart); anti-corrosive additive for the cooling system of water-cooled engines (see Lubricants chart).

Engine preservation

NOTE! Antifreeze (50 %) should be added to the coolant even in warm countries where there is no risk of frost. This helps to protect the engine.

1. Clean exterior surfaces of engine thoroughly.

2. Preserve engine, refer to the engine manufacturer's operating manual.

ATTENTION!

3. Attach a warning sign to the oil filler neck and to the steering wheel: »CAUTION! Engine is filled with anti-corrosive oil«.

In hot countries, the proportion of corrosion inhibitor / anti-freeze should not exceed 50 %, as otherwise the efficiency of the coolant is decreased.

4. Replace coolant hoses by new ones every two years.

Check if coolant has enough anti-freeze and add anti-freeze as required.

For further information, refer to the engine manufacturer's operating manual.

5. Replace all non-metal parts of the air intake system every two years.

6. Replace air cleaner main cartridge.

7. Drain coolant without anti-freeze from the radiator and the engine block. The drain taps and plugs must remain open. Attach a warning sign »Radiator is not filled with water« at the coolant filler neck and at the steering wheel.

ATTENTION! The engine must not be operated without anti-freeze!

8. After engine preservation, fill up the fuel tank completely with diesel fuel.

Do not store the combine outdoors in order to avoid condensate inside the fuel tank.

9. Place the battery in the care of a battery service specialist or use it in another application.
