GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CLAAS range of telehandlers has a modern design that enables the machine to be operated over different terrain whilst utilizing a wide variety of CLAAS approved front mounted attachments.

The driver's cab is fully glazed, compliant with ROPS/FOPS legislation, and features excellent control layout and operator ergonomics. It can be complemented with the addition of air conditioning and other accessories including an air suspension seat.

The seat mounted electro-hydraulic joystick enables simultaneous operation of 3 hydraulic functions, proportionally, for simple and precise operation of the boom.

An ultra low boom design and curved front screen combine to provide unbeatable visibility all around the machine and to the attachment as it is raised to any height.

A limited slip differential in the front axle, together with four wheel drive and a choice of agricultural or industrial tyres enable the machine to operate on many typical surfaces.

INTRODUCTION Introduction to the Handbook The contents of the Operators Handbook are intended as a guide to the operation and servicing of the CLAAS telehandler range. The general method of operation of all these machines is the same. Any individual differences in the specification or operation are detailed separately.

Note: The procedures and illustrations contained in this manual refers to all models. Some illustrations may differ slightly from the actual machine This handbook is not a training manual. It is designed as a guide to the machine’s controls and working capacities and general maintenance only. It must not be removed from the machine and should be kept clean and in good condition. Additional copies of the handbook can be obtained from your CLAAS dealer.

Only trained operators should use this machine. CLAAS strongly recommends that anyone who is responsible for the operation and servicing of this machine be fully trained in its safe operation.

If you have any doubts about any aspects of the machine’s capability or servicing procedures, you must consult CLAAS through your local CLAAS dealer.

Throughout this handbook and on the machine there are safety notes. Each note starts with a single word. The meaning of these single words are explained below.

Identifies a hazard exists. If proper precautions are not taken, it is highly probable that the operator (or others) could be killed or seriously injured.

Identifies a reminder of safety practices. Failure to observe these safety practices could result in injury to the operator (or others) and possible damage to the machine.

In general these notes are used to indicate that the procedures being described in the Handbook must be followed to avoid serious injury or death to yourself or others. The notes are also used to protect the machine from unsafe servicing practises.

Pay particular attention to the safety notes given at the beginning of each section.

The operator must read all the Handbook and fully understand its contents before attempting to operate the machine.

Running In The “running in” period of your machine is extremely important, and the following instructions should be followed very closely until the first 50 hour service is due.

This service must be carried out by your Distributor.

1.

2.

Avoid overloading the engine.

Use the lower gears when pulling heavier loads, and avoid using your machine on full load or at high engine speeds, as this may result in premature wear.

OPERATION

STEERING MODES The machine can be driven in any of three different steering modes. The modes are selected using the steering mode switch (2).

The machine must always be stationary before changing steering modes.

The three modes give the following steering characteristics: A Two wheel steer The front wheels steer with the rear wheels locked in the 'straight' position.

This mode MUST be used on public roads.

B Four wheel steer Both pairs of wheels steer so that the front and rear wheels run on the same turning circle radius.

This mode MUST NOT be used on public roads.

C 'Crab' steer Both pairs of wheels steer in the same direction so that the machine 'crabs' either to the left or right.

This mode MUST NOT be used on public roads.

Changing steering modes The machine must always be stationary before changing steering modes.

Before using any of the steering modes, always check alignment of the wheels as follows.

To align wheels Select steering mode B or C and turn the steering wheel until the REAR wheels indicator is illuminated.

The rear wheels are now in the straight ahead position.

Select steering mode A and turn the steering wheel until the FRONT and REAR wheels indicators are illuminated.

All four wheels are now in correct alignment, allowing any of the three steering modes to be selected using selector switch (2).

Operation with wheels out of align Under certain circumstances the operator may choose to use the machine with the rear wheels out of alignment.

Such a circumstance could be when operating the machine on a Silage Clamp with the rear wheels locked at an angle and using TWO WHEEL STEER mode (A), retaining the ability to turn the machine (D).

Never operate the machine on the highway with the rear wheels out of alignment.

OPERATION STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE NEVER operate controls while outside the cab.

OPERATION

STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE (continued) DO NOT PROCEED IF A FAULT IS EVIDENT. If engine fails to start, allow a few minutes for the battery to recover, then repeat start key switch procedure.

Always remain in driving seat whenever engine is running.

Check engine coolant temperature: engine coolant temperature gauge should show a low reading when engine is first started.

Abnormally high readings, or failure to obtain a reading after a suitable period of engine running, denotes a fault and requires immediate attention.

Check fuel gauge: Always ensure an adequate amount of fuel is present in fuel tank.

Always check all hydraulic rams before commencing work. With the engine running, operate each hydraulic control, in turn, to fully extend and retract the rams.

Stopping the engine Allow the engine to run at approximately 1,000 rpm for 2 to 3 minutes before turning the start key to the (O) position.

OPERATION ENGAGING GEAR. APC POWERSHIFT Powershift transmission with Automatic Powershift Controller (APC) The FNR (Forward/Neutral/Reverse) gear lever controls the direction of travel and gear selection.

The transmission has 6 forward gears and 3 reverse gears. The actual gear engaged is shown by the LED display in front of the steering column, this does not naturally agree with the gear selected on the FNR lever (see table).

To select forward travel: a The engine must be at idling speed. b Select required gear by twisting lever (A) and lift and push into forward position. c Release the parking brake by moving the parking brake rocker switch (11) to its 'locked-off' position. d Accelerate engine.

To change from one gear to another: Twist lever (A) to the gear required. The APC (Automatic Powershift Controller) will then manage the transmission to ensure that the gear selected is reached without risk of damage to the transmission.

The transmission will select gears 1 - 4 on command from the FNR lever providing the correct speed parameters are being met.

5th and 6th gears: When in 5th gear the transmission will automatically change between 5th and 4th gear as determined by the APC. When in 6th gear the transmission will automatically change between 6th, 5th and 4th gear as determined by the APC. Reverse Gears (Refer to table) For a 6/3 transmission the reverse gears shown in the display will be R1, R3 and R5, these correspond to the relevant forward gears. It is not possible to select R2 or R4.

To change direction of travel: a Reduce engine speed. b Brake to a stop. c Lift and move lever backwards from forward to reverse. d Release foot brake. e Accelerate engine.

ENGAGING GEAR. APC POWERSHIFT (continued) Mode Button The mode button (A) adjacent to the LED display (B) allows various screens to be selected by the operator.

On power-up the screen will briefly display a test pattern allowing a quick verification that the display functions correctly (C) this will then revert to the normal display indicating the gear position (D).

If the mode button is pressed once the display will show vehicle speed, expressed as turbine or input RPM. If no dot is shown in the display the figure shown is to be multiplied by 10 to give the correct value. If a dot is shown the figure shown is to be multiplied by 100. In this mode the ' T ' led is switched ON. Pressing the mode button again will show the nominal vehicle speed, expressed in Km/hr. In this mode the 'T'-led is switched off, unless the vehicle is stopped. If the ' T ' - led on the APC is illuminated whilst driving, then this indicates there is no speed sensor output. In this condition 5th and 6th gears cannot be achieved and no overspeed protection is present.

Pressing the mode button again will give diagnostic information which can be interpreted by the dealer technician.

Pressing the mode button again returns the screen to the normal display.

NOTE When the Joystick/Boom controls isolation switch (see page 1.15) is turned to position C, then the display will show vehicle speed in Km/hr regardless of mode button setting/operation.

Using kickdown: This works in all gears, excepting 1st and in both directions of travel. By pressing the button (E) on the end of the FNR lever the transmission will change down to the next lowest gear, as long as no over speeding will occur. If the transmission does not reach the conditions for changing a red led will blink in the display adjacent to the function being denied (i.e. gear number or direction indicator), after 5 seconds of noncompliance the request will be disregarded.

Once the lower gear is selected then the transmission can be made to return to the higher gear in three different ways, being: 1 Press button (E) once again 2 Select a new gear via the FNR twist grip 3 Moving the FNR lever to neutral or the opposite direction of travel.

WARNING: transmission overheating NEVER operate in too high a gear as this will cause the torque converter to slip and overheat, as indicated by the warning light.

ALWAYS stop if the warning light comes on and run the engine at a fast idle of 1000 to 1200 rev/ min. With both the forward/reverse lever and gear lever in neutral until the transmission cools and the warning light goes out.

1.22 ENGAGING GEAR. POWERSHIFT Powershift transmission with manual selection The FNR gear lever (1) operates Forward 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear functions and Reverse 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear functions.

To select forward travel: a The engine must be at idling speed. b Select required gear by twisting lever (A) and push into forward position. c Release the parking brake by moving the parking brake rocker switch (11) to its 'locked-off' position. d Accelerate engine.

To change from one gear to another: Twist lever (A) to the gear ratio required on upshifts. For down-shifts, slow vehicle to the appropriate speed before selecting gear.

To change direction of travel: a Reduce engine speed. b Brake to a stop. c Move lever (1) backwards from forward to reverse. d Release foot brake. e Accelerate engine.

WARNING: transmission overheating NEVER operate in too high a gear as this will cause the torque converter to slip and overheat, as indicated by the warning light.

ALWAYS stop if the warning light comes on and run the engine at a fast idle of 1000 to 1200 rev/ min. With both the forward/reverse lever and gear lever in neutral until the transmission cools and the warning light goes out.

NEVER restart after cooling the transmission unless the load has been reduced or a lower gear has been selected.

ALWAYS report to the workshop if the warning light indicates further overheating.

OPERATION

OPERATION DRIVING THE MACHINE Steering NEVER hold the steering on full lock for more than a few seconds because the excessive use of the relief valve will cause overheating of the components.

AVOID turning near trenches, especially when carrying a load.

ALWAYS drive slowly when changing direction, having due regard for the surface and type of load.

Gradients NOTE: Turbocharged machines Because of the characteristics of a turbocharger, it is necessary to maintain a high engine speed when you climb a gradient. To ensure the engine is not overloaded at low speeds, engage a lower gear When travelling up or down a gradient always obey the following: Never run down a gradient with the transmission in neutral When travelling down steep gradients control machine speed by selecting a lower gear or using the footbrake.

Do not exceed the maximum machine rated speed, particularly when travelling down steep gradients.

Slippery or loose surface conditions can adversely affect safe machine operation, particularly on gradients.

Choose routes that avoid steep, slippery or loose gradients.

Never park the machine on a gradient.

Never attempt to run on, or drive across a gradient.

Always travel up a gradient with the load facing uphill.

Always reverse down a gradient when loaded.

1.23

1.24

OPERATION

DRIVING THE MACHINE (continued)

Braking the machine The brake pedal operates the brakes in the conventional manner.

With the Brake/Dump switch (4) selected, the brake pedal when applied, disconnects the transmission drive. This removes any engine braking effect.

NEVER drive the machine, on highways with this function engaged,or when trailer towing.

NEVER make unnecessary 'crash' stops when travelling at speed, especially in forward direction.

Stopping the machine Release accelerator, and brake to a halt progressively.

Select neutral with both the gear lever and the forward/reverse control.

Apply parking brake when stationary (11).

ALWAYS turn the front and rear wheels from lock to lock when parking, to clear mud and water from the swivels and rams, thereby reducing the risk of wear and damage from dirt and ice.

Lower attachment or carriage to the ground. The engine should always be allowed to slow to idle for approximately two minutes before stopping , especially after extended periods of full load and full speed operation and for turbocharged engines (failure to do this could lead to premature engine/turbocharger wear).

Turn start key switch to the OFF position.

Leaving the machine Dump hydraulic pressure using the method described in: "Service - hydraulics".

Remove start key from switch and lock cab.

If parked on a slope, chock wheels.

If the machine is to be unattended for some time, remove the key from the electric isolation switch.

OPERATION DRIVING THE MACHINE (continued) Hydraulic oil temperature Machines from serial number 51200472 are fitted with a hydraulic oil temperature warning light.

The warning light (21) will illuminate when the hydraulic oil temperature exceeds a preset figure.

If, the warning light (21) illuminates, the operator must stop work to investigate the cause.

The cause could be due to grille or oil cooler/radiator core blockages and/or mechanical failure.

Material blockages must be cleared by manual cleaning as described on page 3.11.

Two methods are provided as options to reduce material blocking the cooling air intake grille and oil cooler/radiator cores.

These methods depend on machine serial numbers and are described as follows:

Automatic fan drive control (where fitted) For machines up to serial number 51200471 The automatic fan drive control stops the fan for a short period every few minutes to allow material to drop away from the intake grille.

To adjust the ON/OFF cycle – refer to Service Manual.

Reversible cooling fan drive For machines from serial number 51200472.

The reversible cooling fan allows cooling fan rotation to be reversed via switch (10). Reversing the fan rotation, causes material to be blown away from the intake grille and oil cooler/radiator core faces.

To reverse the fan drive, depress the rocker switch (10) and hold on for as long as required. But no longer than 30 seconds at a time.

The fan may be reversed at any time during machine operation and at any engine rpm setting.

Dependant on operational conditions frequent reversals for approximately 15 seconds every 10 to 20 minutes, should be beneficial in reducing oil cooler/radiator core blockages and thereby assist in maintaining engine coolant and hydraulic oil temperatures at their optimum.

1.25

1.26

OPERATION

DRIVING THE MACHINE (continued) Towing the machine The vehicle is equipped with SAHR braking system on the front axle, i.e.: Spring Applied, Hydraulically Released.

In the event of engine and or electrical/hydraulic power failure the front axle parking brakes are automatically applied.

To enable the vehicle to be towed, the parking brakes may be manually disengaged by evenly unscrewing screws (six) (A, B and C) as follows: DANGER! Block all four wheels to prevent vehicle movement. Failure to do so could result in death or injury if vehicle rolls away.

Once the wheels are blocked, locate the two groups of screws on the front axle, remove any dirt, and using an 8 mm Allen key, and working on one group of screws at a time, turn each screw clockwise (inwards) (D) one turn at a time, (care must be taken to tighten each screw alternatively to avoid internal damage) for about 5 to 5 1/2 turns until resistance is felt.

Repeat procedure with the other group of screws.

DANGER! Do not attempt to drive the vehicle with parking brakes manually disengaged.

ALWAYS remove both propeller shafts before towing the machine.

Remove prop shafts and connect tug vehicle with towbar and carefully remove blocking.

Vehicle may now be towed.

NEVER tow the machine above 5mph (8kph) as the lack of power assistance makes manual steering and braking very slow and strenuous.

ALWAYS tow the machine with a towbar, never with a chain or rope.

OPERATION DRIVING THE MACHINE (continued) Towing the machine (continued) Following repair, the brakes must be re-engaged as follows: DANGER! Block all four wheels to prevent vehicle movement. Failure to do so could result in death or injury if vehicle rolls away.

Once the wheels are blocked, again working on one group of screws at a time, using the 8 mm Allen key, turn each screw anticlockwise (outwards) (A) one turn at a time (care must be taken to loosen each screw alternatively to avoid internal damage) for about 5 to 5 1/2 turns until firm resistance is felt, then turn each screw clockwise (inwards) one quarter turn.

Repeat procedure with the other group of screws.

The parking brakes should now be re-engaged and the wheels locked.

Check that the brakes function correctly before putting the vehicle back into work.

OPERATION

WORKING THE TELEHANDLER The Telehandler should not be used by untrained operators.

The following pages explain some of the recommended techniques and procedures to enable the Telehandler to be used effectively and safely. The information given on the Load charts, Instability Situations examples, and the Longitudinal Stability Indicator (LSI) should be carefully read and understood.

It is important that you understand the parameters of the lifting envelopes located in the cab and the examples of instability situations that are included in this Handbook.

Longitudinal Stability Indicator (LSI) The LSI (A) is a progressive warning device measuring load on the rear axle, warning the operator when the machine is nearing its maximum safe working stability through the progressive illumination of a series of seven green, two amber and two red indicators.

The illumination of the two amber indicators will activate an intermittent audible alarm, whilst the illumination of the red indicators will continuously activate the audible alarm.

Turning the engine start switch to the on position initiates the LSI ‘internal-test’ function.

All indicators will illuminate and the alarm will sound, for a few seconds.

If functioning correctly, all indicators except for the bottom indicator (1) will extinguish and the alarm will cease.

Do not use the machine if the LSI ‘internal-test’ function fails.

Dependant on boom extension and angle a load of 50% machine rated capacity will cause the illumination of two or more indicators.

Increasing the load and/or boom extension or angle will cause the indicators to progressively illuminate.

With all green indicators illuminated the machine is within its longitudinal stability, but caution is necessary.

Further increases in load and/or boom extension or lowering the boom without retraction will cause the illumination of the two amber indicators and the intermittent sounding of the audible alarm. The machine is now at its limit of longitudinal stability.

Do not increase load, boom extension or change boom angle without retracting boom first, when the two amber indicators are illuminated.

If the two red indicators illuminate and the alarm sounds continuously, the machine longitudinal stability has been exceeded. Do not continue with work operations. Proceed with extreme caution to return to stable conditions by retracting boom, prior to lowering boom and removing or reducing load.

OPERATION WORKING THE TELEHANDLER (continued) Although the LSI is useful in giving an indication of machine stability, it does not replace the skills of a well trained and experienced operator.

The examples of instability situations show a series of instances that would cause the coloured indicators to change from 'green' through to 'Unstable red' as the longitudinal stability of the machine is endangered by incorrect operation.

ALWAYS observe and obey the LSI. Do not wait until the alarm sounds.

ALWAYS TEST THE LSI BEFORE WORK COMMENCES.

Checking the indicator The indicator is fitted with an external 'self-testing' facility. If the 'self-test' fails, the machine must NOT be used.

'Self-test' Before attempting to pick-up a load retract and level boom, press the test button (B), this should illuminate all of the indicators and cause the alarm to sound for a few seconds.

This test shows whether the electrical warning devices are functioning.

If functioning correctly all indicators except the bottom indicator (1) will extinguish and the alarm will cease.

NOTE If this test is carried out whilst the machine is carrying a load more than one indicator will remain illuminated.

Longitudinal stability indicator service The LSI must be tested every three months by your Distributor. All adjustments must be carried out with the correct test equipment.

NEVER use the machine with an inoperative stability indicator.

EXAMPLES OF INSTABILITY SITUATIONS 1

Overloading with the boom at constant reach creates instability.

ALWAYS REDUCE REACH AS THE LOAD IS INCREASED.

2

Extending the boom with a constant load creates instability.

NEVER EXTEND REACH WHEN YOU CAN MOVE NEARER, OR REDUCE LOAD BEFORE EXTENDING.

3

Lowering an extended and loaded boom creates instability.

ALWAYS RETRACT BOOM BEFORE LOWERING IT.

4

Attempting to lift a load that is too heavy for reach creates instability.

ALWAYS LIFT FROM CLOSE IN, WITH AS SHORT A REACH AS POSSIBLE.
