1 Introduction

Introduction INTRODUCTION

This manual is for the CLAAS LEXION 580, LEXION 570 and the LEXION 560 – 510 combine harvesters.

This manual shows you how to convert the combine harvester from – grain to grain-maize / corn cob mix (CCM) and from – grain-maize / corn cob mix (CCM) to grain This manual includes only points deviating from the Operator's Manual.

Installation and removal of the sieves, separating grates and concave segments can be taken from the Operator's Manual.

The relevant combine harvester Operator's Manual applies for operating the machine.

The shipping package for maize and grain equipment is listed on page 4.1.1.

The shipping package for converting the straw chopper is listed on page 6.1.1.

Each part is provided with a part number. Please consult the "Shipping Package" list for details of part specifications, for example for screws. This list includes the dimensions and the number of bolts as well as the associated parts such as nuts and contact washers.

Texts and pictures in this manual apply generally to all combines covered. Notes and comments will alert you to any differences between individual types.

5 Installing the maize threshing equipment

Installing the maize threshing equipment SAFETY REGULATIONS Danger!

Before performing any work on the machine, always shut off the engine, remove ignition key and ensure that the machine cannot roll away (apply parking brake, place wheel chocks in front of or behind wheels).

Always disengage the threshing mechanism, stop the engine and remove the ignition key before carrying out work on the chopper.

Note that the chopper knives run on after the machine drives have been disengaged!

Caution – Risk of injury!

☞ Wear gloves during all work on the chopper knives!

☞ Arrest the cutting cylinder so it will not rotate.

0293 539.0 - UBA LEXION 580 - 510

5.1.1

Installing the maize threshing equipment Additional weights Combine harvesters with a maize picker head fitted must be equipped with additional weights during transportation on public roads and lanes according to the Regulations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic. This is necessary to ensure proper control when braking and driving on slopes.

The necessary additional weights can be: LEXION: • Vehicle-mounted implements at the rear of the machine (e.g. straw chopper...)

• Liquid filling in the rear axle tyres • Additional weights on the rear axle The load on the rear axle tyres is to be 20% of the machine weight with the maize picker fitted.

Please take the required ballast from the combine-harvester Operator's Manual.

See "Prior to operation", additional weights.

When the additional weights are not necessary any more, depending on the front attachment, they must be removed. This avoids unnecessary wear.

Opening the disawner plates The disawner plates (P) must remain open when working in maize. The lever (N) now is in position (V).

(Fig. 5, 6)

Fitting threshing cylinder cover plates (Grain-maize and corn cob mix CCM) For threshing grain maize, the threshing drum must be covered up with eight cover plates (5).

Up to a certain maizecob portion, corn cob mix (CCM) can also be threshed with the cover plates (5).

Attention!

The weight of the plates is adapted and entire sets (8 pieces) should always be used.

Otherwise unbalance will result!

Install the cover plates (5). Observe the running direction of the drum when installing.

Clean the threshing drum, especially the contact faces of the cover plates.

Fit the cover plates (5) according to Fig. 9 so that the folded edges grip beneath the rasp bars. Screw the cover plates (5) to the drum discs using hex. bolts (6).

Tighten the hex. bolts (6). Observe the tightening torque.

UBA LEXION 580 - 510 - 0293 539.0

Installing the maize threshing equipment Installing the filler bars and cover plates for the threshing drum (corn cob mix CCM) When threshing corn cob mix (CCM), the threshing drum can be covered up with four filler bars (7) and four cover plates (5) alternatingly from a certain maizecob portion upwards.

Attention!

The weight of the plates and bars is adapted and entire sets (4 pieces each) should always be used. Otherwise unbalance will result!

Install the cover plates (5) and filler bars (7). Observe the running direction of the threshing drum when installing.

Clean the threshing drum,especially the contact face of the cover plates (5) and of the filler bars (7).

Fit the cover plates (5) according to Fig. 10 so that the folded edges grip beneath the rasp bars. Screw the cover plates (5) to the drum discs using hex. bolts (6).

To install the filler bars (7), unscrew the hex. bolts (S) from the rasp bars (L). Fit the filler bars (7) back to the rasp bars, using the existing hex. bolts.

Tighten the hex. bolts (S). Observe the tightening torque.

Tightening torque: M 12 x 30 8.8 DIN 933 = 86 Nm M 12 x 30 10.9 DIN 933 = 115 Nm Screw the cover plates (5) also to the drum discs using hex. bolts (6).

Tighten the hex. bolts (6).

Tightening torque: M 12 x 20 8.8 DIN 933 = 86 Nm M 12 x 25 10.9 DIN 933 = 115 Nm For work in grain, the four filler bars (7) must be removed again and be replaced by four cover plates (5) or else all plates must be removed.

The cover plates (5) may remain fitted for work in grain.

When working in grain-maize and in dry harvesting conditions, long-lipped frogmouth sieves can be used.

In wet harvesting conditions, round hole and/or graepel sieves can be used instead of frogmouth sieves.

When harvesting corn cob mix (CCM), deep-toothed frogmouth sieves can be used up to a point when the maizecob portion is low.

When harvesting corn cob mix (CCM), graepel sieves can be used up to a point when the maizecob portion is high.

Converting the straw chopper Straw chopper settings Danger!

Always disengage the threshing mechanism, stop the engine and switch off the battery isolating switch before carrying out work on the straw chopper.

Note that the chopper knives run on after the machine drives have been disengaged!

Caution – Risk of injury!

☞ Wear gloves during all work on the chopper knives!

☞ Arrest the cutting cylinder so it will not rotate.

The straw chopper setting depends on the machine type.

On the same type of machine, the number of freeswinging knives (grain or maize) may be different. This depends on the straw chopper design.

Danger!

Failure to observe the correct number of free-swinging knives may result in knives touching the fixed knives.

Count the free-swinging knives in the straw chopper.

The resulting chopper settings can be taken from the table below (straw chopper settings).

Setting back the cross blade and changing the freeswinging knives must be performed on all machines.
