Preface

ATTENTION!

On fitting the 4.50 m grain cutting unit, foldable, the operating licence of your combine harvester will become invalid.

For this reason, it will be necessary to request a new operating licence for the combine harvester from the relevant authorities (registration office) upon presentation of a certificate for the combine harvester to the administration (§ 19 Para. 2 StVZO).

The new certificate is issued by the relevant "Technical Monitoring Association" (TÜV).

In order to make the acceptance easier, upon request, CLAAS can produce a sample certificate by stipulating the MD type, the machine number and the year of manufacture, or it can undertake an acceptance together with the TÜV in Hanover. Specific care must be taken with regard to the required weight increase on the steering axle to prevent lifting while braking. If their is no weight increase, then the TÜV might not issue a certificate.

Safety rules SAFETY RULES

Correct use of the vehicle

Before putting the machine into operation, read the Operator's Manual and follow the safety precautions.

The folding cutterbar is to be used exclusively for normal use in agricultural work (correct application).

Identification of warning and danger signs All parts of this manual having to do with your safety or the safe operation of the machine are marked with the following signs. Please pass on all safety instructions to other users, too.

DANGER! Sign to indicate instructions which must be observed. Failure to do so would cause danger to life and limb of the operator and the people around him.

☞ Preventive measures

ATTENTION! Sign to indicate instructions which must be observed. Failure to do so could result in damage to the machine.

☞ Measures to prevent damage to the machine.

NOTE! Sign to indicate instructions for a more efficient and economic use of the machine.

ENVIRONMENT!

Any other use is to be considered as an incorrect application; any damage resulting from this is not the responsibility of the manufacturer; the risk is entirely that of the operator.

Compliance and strict adherence to the operation, service and repair conditions as specified by the manufacturer also constitute essential elements of the intended use.

The folding cutterbar can only be operated, maintained and repaired by personnel who are familiar with these tasks and the associated dangers.

Accident prevention regulations, all other generally recognised regulations on safety and occupational medicine and road traffic regulations must be observed at all times.

Fitting and retrofitting of ancillary equipment which is not originally manufactured by CLAAS, and, in addition, also modifications and changes may only be carried out with the consent of CLAAS, as any such actions may have considerable adverse effects on the safety and operational function of the machine.

Any arbitrary modifications carried out on the cutterbar will relieve the manufacturer of all liability for any resulting damage or injury.

General safety and accident prevention regulations 1. In addition to these operating instructions, please observe the general safety and accident-prevention regulations.

2. Always comply with local traffic regulations when driving on public roads.

Sign to indicate instructions which must be observed in order to avoid damage to the environment.

3. Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all the controls and instruments and their functions. During work or road travel it is too late!

Danger to the environment is caused by irregular handling and incorrect disposal of toxic material (e.g. old oil).

4. Before starting work, check the cutterbar unit for loose parts.

The warning and instruction signs placed on the machine provide important recommendations for safe operation. These instructions involve your safety – observe them at all times!

0299 838.0 - ABA / BA SW klappbar, 4,5 m

5. When working on or around the cutterbar unit, stop the engine and remove the ignition key.

Hydraulic pipes must be depressurised.

6. Only work under the cutterbar and the reel if they are securely supported.

4.1.1

Safety rules 7. On public roads and lanes, the cutterbar must always be folded.

The dividers must be folded.

Switch over the driving lights from the bottom to the top.

Attach protection rail with warming plate and side lights on the front of the cutterbar and connect the lighting.

8. When folding the cutterbar the machine should be secured from rolling away (parking brake, wedges).

9. When actuating the push-button for the folding device of the cutterbar, no persons should be standing between the drive wheels and the cutterbar.

10. When folding the cutterbar no persons should be standing within the swing area.

11. Removing and fitting knives involves a great risk of personal injury particularly when the cutterbar is misaligned and/or very dirty.

12. Knives, 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 from these moving elements during operation!

13. Never operate the universal drive shafts with the guard removed or with a damaged guard.

14. When carrying a cutterbar during travel on public roads and lanes, the finger bar and/or the crop lifters must be covered.

15. Under no circumstances attempt to service, lubricate or clean the machine or to remedy any operational problems unless the drive is disengaged and the engine stopped. Remove the ignition key!

16. When working on the electrical equipment always switch off the battery isolator!

17. Always replace safety guards and shields after carrying out maintenance work.

18. There is danger of injury when fitting the cutterbar to the combine harvester!

19. No person must ever be allowed between the combine harvester and cutterbar unless the parking brake is applied and/or the wheels are chocked so that the vehicle cannot start or move on its own.

Observe all further safety precautions contained in the Combine Operator’s Manual.

Fitting and Operation FITTING THE CUTTERBAR Tilting the cutterbar from the transport position DANGER! When fitting front attachments, there is a danger of injury!

No persons are permitted in the danger area!

1

Before operating the cutterbar for the first time, it should be tilted from the vertical to the horizontal position (if required).

To do this, proceed as follows: Lift the cutterbar onto the transport support with a suitable lifting device. At the same time, hold the cutterbar in place on the opposite side with a suitable lifting device (fork-lift truck or similar). Protect the forks with a pallet or similar to ensure that the cutterbar is not damaged.

If there is no suitable lifting device available on site, large tyres can be used instead.

Fitting and Operation Cutterbar skids The cutterbar skids (V) are adjustable in height.

Proper positioning of skids depends on the size of the tyres. The skids should be set outwards as far as possible, particularly when using CLAAS Auto-Contour.

V

Adjust the skids equally on both sides.

(Fig. 22)

22 Safety feature: The intake augers are protected by slipping clutches (R). Do not set the slipping clutches so tight that they act as fail-safe devices.

R

Slipping clutch torque = 300 Nm (Fig. 23)

Fitting and Operation MALFUNCTION

CAUSE OR REMEDY All work on or in the cutterbar must only be undertaken when the combine harvester is shut down and at standstill. When undertaking any work under the cutterbar, it must be safety propped up - danger of accident!!

Cutterbar cannot be swung

1. Locking lever not opened correctly.

The lever must be vertical.

– see page 8.2.8. (Fig. 23) The limit switch must be actuated.

2. Limit switch (interlock) faulty.

Replace switch.

3. Reel not fully retracted.

Retract reel fully.

The limit switch must be actuated.

4. Limit switch (back reel position) faulty.

Replace limit switch.

5. Reel not fully lowered.

Lower the reel completely.

6. Limit switch (bottom reel position) faulty.

Replace limit switch.

Limit switch not set correctly.

Set limit switch.

7. Push button on machine faulty.

Replace the push button.

Cutterbar cannot be mechanically locked

1. Hydraulic swing device not actuated long enough.

After the cutterbar troughs come together, continue to hold the push button for a further 3 seconds, approximately.

2. The stops on the feeder housing are set incorrectly.

The locking pins must be located centrally in the openings and be free to move when the cutterbar is in the elevated position.

Unequal reel speeds

1. Whilst the machine is running, turn back the speed of the reels to the stop. Reset the required speed.

If this method is insufficient, remove one of the plugs on the electric motors. See text and figure 16, page 8.3.7.

NOTE: Balancing the reel speeds can also be undertaken on the linkages of the regulating disc adjustment.

per gearbox 0.85 Litre Oil type: Gearbox oil to (MIL-L-2105) API-GL-4-90 E = Oil filling screw A = Oil drain screw (Fig. 1, 2) 1

DANGER! Dispose of the used oil properly!

Oil change:

A

In order to change the oil, remove the inner deflector (D). Before filling with oil, retighten the drain screw and refit the inner deflector.

(Fig. 2) 2 Check the oil level: Put the gearbox for the knife drives into a horizontal position by lifting the cutterbar. Remove the oil filling screw (E) to check the oil level.

The oil level can be checked with a wire.

Details of the wire: Overall length approx. 300 mm Dip depth approx. 210 mm At 220 mm bend slightly.

Dip the wire slightly at an angle to perform the check.

Correct level = 80 mm above the end of the wire.

Replace the oil filling screw after checking the oil level.

The oil level should be checked every 50 operating hours.
