3 General information

General information

General information ROAD TRAFFIC

Licence plates

In addition to the class 2 or T driver’s licence, the operator must always carry the vehicle identification card, a warning triangle and at least one wheel chock in the vehicle. When the vehicle is used on the premises of businesses outside of the agricultural or forestry fields, you must also carry first-aid material in accordance with DIN 13164 Regulations dated December 1987. In addition to this, the instructions in the Operator’s Manual relating to traffic on public roads must be observed and complied with.

As an agricultural tractor and an attachment carrier with a top speed of up to 50 kmph, this vehicle must be registered and have licence plates fitted.

The road traffic regulations contained in this manual apply in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Operation of this vehicle in other countries is always subject to the national regulations for registration and operation of the vehicle. This applies in particular to vehicle operation with vehicle-mounted implements on public roads.

When travelling on public roads with the vehicle, all directions mentioned in the vehicle registration card under the letter c must be observed.

In the case of agricultural and forestry tractors and their trailers with a width over tyres of up to 3 m, the 35th Exceptional decree of German Regulations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic shall apply. Machines with a width over tyres of > 2.75 m must be marked by two warning plates each at the front and the rear. On excess-width machines (width over tyres > 3 m), an exceptional approval in accordance with § 70, section 1, no. 1 and 2 of the StVZO must be carried along. In addition, all directions mentioned in the vehicle registration card and/or in the exceptional approval must be observed. Granting of the exceptional approval is different in each Federal State. Marking must follow the directions for the marking of excess-width road vehicles (two marker boards each at the front and rear, protective bar, two amber flashing warning beacons).

If any parts of the vehicle are subsequently modified, the conditions of which are prescribed or the operation of which could represent a hazard to other road users, then the vehicle type approval registration shall no longer be valid and an application must be made for a new vehicle type approval registration. In this case the vehicle must be presented to the responsible motor vehicle safety inspection authority (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.

When vehicles with vehicle-mounted implements are driven on public roads, the Code of good practice for vehicle-mounted implements (§ 30, explanation no. 11, StVZO) shall apply and further exceptional approvals may be required due to the vehicle-mounted implements.

The operating permit/ expert opinion for the vehicle-mounted implements must be observed.

3.1.1

General information Instructions for extension devices

3.

Extension devices are used to proceed tasks by means of the vehicle.

Bonn (Germany), 25th March 1999 S 33/66.02.80-02 The instructions for extension devices issued 16th December 1976 (VkBl. 1977 page 21) with modifications of 23rd July 1979 (VkBl. 1979 page 521) and of 20th August 1990 (VkBl. 1990 page 562) have been adjusted to further developments in the design of the extension devices and modifications of road traffic prescriptions. Among other things, the modified vehicle and devices trimmings on public roads have been taken into account. In addition, winter service vehicles and devices must meet specific requirements due to the unfavourable weather and visibility conditions during operation.

These are combined in the "Code of practice for Snow and ice control vehicles" (VkBl. 1996, page 528).

With this, I proclaim the revised version of the instructions for extension parts, after consultation of the appropriate Supreme State Authorities.

A replacement of extension devices for diverse tasks is possible. During transportation on public roads, their weight is carried predominantly by the vehicle.

Extension devices can be front, middle-axis, extension, rear or side devices.

Rear end extensions can be fitted with a trailer coupling.

4.

The following is to be observed:

4.1

License and operating permission (§§ 18 and 19 paragraphs 2 StVZO) Extension devices are not subject to prescriptions concerning the license and operating duty. Since they are replaceable accessories, no additional operating permission is required for the vehicle due to their attachment.

4.2

Ministry of Traffic, Construction and Housing issued by Dr.-Ing. H u b e r

No design permission duty applies for extension devices. This also applies to couplings of extension parts attached to tractors. Trailer couplings at extension parts must comply with DIN 11 025, issued May 1980, or DIN 11 029, issued April 19893. Automatic trailer couplings are not required, trailer couplings pursuant to Appendix IV of guideline 89/173/EWG are permissible as well.

Instructions for extension devices Vehicles and trailers can be used with replaceable extension devices mounted temporarily. Such extension devices are not subject to the prescriptions concerning the licensing and operating permission obligations. The instructions are issued to provide information about how to avoid dangers to other road users by extension devices as far as possible.

1.

2.

Vehicle-mounted implements considered in this Code of practice include exchangeable accessories for vehicles and trailers which are used for example in road and park maintenance or for agricultural or forestry purposes. The usage of extension devices does not affect the classification of the carrier vehicles.1 These instructions also apply to makeshift loading spaces (loading spaces in three-point extension) which are only permissible for tractors.2

Design permission and control marks for vehicle (§ 22a StVZO)

4.3

Information about dead weight (§ 27 paragraph 1 StVZO) A change of the dead weight information is only necessary if parts are fitted to the vehicle permanently which allow for easier fitting and dismantling (i.e.installation fittings for front loaders) and if the entered dead weight is changed as a result of this.

4.4

Monitoring (§ 29 StVZO) Extension devices are not subject to monitoring duty.

1 Grid tires are duly treated as extension devices.

2 A makeshift loading space is (in contrast to an auxiliary loading space) a device which is only temporarily connected to a tractor for the transportation of goods.

3 Replaced by DIN 11028, at present in the draft stage.

3.1.2

BA XERION - 0293 208.1

General information 4.5

Condition (§ 30 StVZO)

4.7.3

The distance between vertical transverse planes touching the front end of the front extension device and the middle of the steering wheel (in vehicles without steering wheel the centre of the driver seat in centre position) must not exceed 3.5 m. If this dimension is exceeded in individual cases, exceptional permits in accordance with section 4.7.2 are required. This usually involves conditions being imposed (e.g. suitable construction measures or guidance at junctions and exits by a second person).

4.8

Hazardous vehicle parts (§ 30c paragraph. 1 StVZO)

Extension devices must be constructed and fitted to the vehicle in a way that implies no risk to passengers and other road users and does not endanger, impede or annoy them beyond an unavoidable degree so that in case of accidents the extent and the consequences of injuries are minimal. This also applies to parts of extension devices permanently fitted to the vehicle.

Makeshift loading spaces must be constructed in a way that ensures they can carry the weight designed for reliably (cf. section 4.11).

No part may protrude beyond the vehicle limits beyond the absolute minimum possible to avoid endangering traffic; in particular, components must not increase damage in the case of an accident. When the jutting out of parts cannot be avoided, they must be covered. If this is not reasonably possible, parts must be marked by sign plates or foils (s. Catalogue of examples for safeguarding traffic-endangering components on vehicles used in agricultural and forestry operations, VkBl. 1985, page 436 ff.).

Tiltable parts, lifting devices and other devices must be safeguarded against unintended starting or falling off or change of position (s. Traffic code sheet publication 'Safeguarding of tipping devices and of lifting and other implements on road vehicles', VkBl. 1978, page 25).

4.6

Responsibilities for operation (§ 31 section 2 of StVZO (German Regulations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic) and § 23 StVO (German Road Traffic Regulations)) The prescriptions concerning the responsibility of the driver and the owner for the operation of vehicles also apply to the carrying of extension parts.

4.7

Measurements (§ 32 StVZO) and drivers field of vision (§ 35b paragraph 2 StVZO)

4.7.1

The fitting of extension parts has to comply with the prescriptions about the permissible measurements and field of vision.

4.7.2

In the event that the maximum permissible measurements are exceeded in accordance with § 32 StVZO, a certificate of exemption pursuant to § 70 StVZO, issued by the appropriate authority according to municipal law and a permission pursuant to § 29 paragraph 3 StVO are both required. Yet the appropriate authority may issue a general permission together with the certificate of exemption according to § 70 StVZO to exceed the measurements, permissible in accordance with 32 StVZO issue (VwV-StVO, paragraph VII Nr. 6 and § 29 paragraph 3 StVO). The permission is frequently bound to conditions. In individual cases, exemption permissions according to § 46 are a consideration.

BA XERION - 0293 208.1

General information Instructions for hooked-up lof work machines BMV/StV 13/36.15.14-02 issued 18.3.1992 (VkBl S 201), with amendment StV 13/36.15.14-02/126 Ver 93 issued 16.3.1994, VkBl p 296: The StVZO (German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations) is not structured in line with vehicle categories. Thus all rules contained in it also apply to the lof working machines hooked up.

To provide producers and users with instructions as to which rules of the StVZO have special significance, the leaflet for hooked-up work machines of 1.7.1980 has been issued in the VkBl 1980 S 532.

Due to the changes made from 1980 to the StZVO, the leaflet had to be adjusted to the current state of the StVZO rules.

The new version of the leaflet is declared in the following under annulment of the VkBl declaration of 1980 S 522.

Wording of the leaflet 1

General

Mounted lof work machines are trailers used in agriculture or agro-forestry and which in terms of design and installations fixed to the vehicle are appropriate and designed for the performance of work. A loading space, appropriate and designed to take up the devices, aids and materials necessary for or resulting from work can be extant additionally.

Mounted lof work machines with loading space are to be regarded as transport trailers if the payload declared exceeds 2.0 t and if the relation between permissible total weight and dead weight exceeds 2.0 t. In the following, mounted lof work machines are simply termed work machines.

Wording of the supplement of 16th March 1994: On page 201 of the 1992 VkBl, the leaflet for mounted lof work machines of 18th March 1992 – StV 13/36.15.14.-02 – has been issued. This leaflet states that mounted lof work machines with loading space are to be classified as transport trailers if the declared payload exceeds 2.0 t and if the relation between permissible total weight and dead weight exceeds 2.0 t.

According to this definition, mounted devices for protection of plants would be classified as transport trailers, because their payload exceeds 2.0 t and the relation between permissible total weight and dead weight exceeds 2.0 t. But still the share of work done by such devices predominates the share of transports of pesticides.

0293 208.1 - BA XERION

Therefore I ask you, after agreement with the appropriate supreme state authorities, divergent from the mentioned leaflet, to furthermore classify mounted pesticide devices as lof work machine. For clarification the following is pointed out: According to § 41 Sect 13, unsuspended mounted agricultural work machines with a dead weight of less than the dead weight of the hauling vehicle but not higher than 3.0 t all in all do not require a brake of their own. But this does not mean that when loaded to a total weight of 3.0 t, they could still do without a brake.

According to § 41 Sect 13, the work machines have rather a low payload so that dead weight here means more or less total weight.

From this it can be inferred that mounted work machines with loading space and with a dead weight up to 3.0 t without brake can only be handled empty on public roads, or, if the permissible total weight is exceeded, they need a brake of their own.

With mounted pesticide devices the payload is usually much higher than dead weight. The limit of 3.0 t can therefore be seen only in connection with permissible total weight. Therefore § 41 Sect 11 is applicable in these cases.

The following is to be observed: 2

Licensing (§ 18)

Work machines are not subject to licensing duty (granting of an operating license and assignment of a license number).

2.1 Operating license (§§ 18, 20 u 21) Implements with a permitted total weight of more than 3.0 t require an operating permit. A general operating permit (German: ABE) can be granted to the producer or another authorised party by the Federal Office for Motor Traffic (German: KBA) upon application for implements produced or to be produced in series. If a vehicle does not belong to a certified type, the producer or another entitled authority has to move for an OL at the administration authority presenting the opinion on the rule compliance of the vehicle by an officially accredited expert.

Work machines requiring an OL which could be equipped with a wide range of different components (tools, accessories), must be shown as basis device together with the equipment for examination, in accordance with the instructions in the leaflet for extension parts (VkBl 1990 S 562 ff.).

3.1.7

General information 2.2 Official license plates (§§ 18 u 23) Implements do not need a registration plate when driving on public roads (see also section 20).

However, they may obtain one from the relevant authorised party.

3

OL for Vhcl parts (§ 22a)

Installations for connection of the devices to a motor vhcl (cf. section 15) require an official OL, except for – installation which for technical reasons cannot be treated separately in the approval procedure, i.e. drawbars for single-axle trailers, if they are part of the frame and cannot be re-adjusted.

– Hauling installations at work machines designed to be connected to the tractor trailer, the towing arm or the three-point extension at lof hauling or work machines.

If the hauling installation is designed to be connected to a trailer coupling approved in design, the following instructions have to be met: Female coupling devices require an official OL. A trailer coupling at the work machine has to be approved in design. The dimensions of the tow jaw must meet DIN 11 025, 11 029 or 74 051; automatic hitches however are not required.

A trailer coupling approved in design is not required if the hauling installation of the work machine is only designed to be attached to a tractor trailer or towing arm.

Trailer brakes and lighting installations for work machines must be constructed in an officially approved design, but trailer brakes only if they do not comply with the guideline 71/320/EWG (cf. sections 14 and 17).

All vhcl parts due to approval in design may only be used if their design has been approved and if the assigned examination number has been attached.

General information 5

Condition (§ 30)

Work machines must be constructed, equipped and connected to the vhcl in a way that makes sure that their usual operation does not damage, endanger or bother anybody beyond an avoidable extent. Work machines must not impede the safe handling of the tractor.

Tilting, lifting and rotating installations must be safeguarded against accidental starting or change of position, i.e. through leak oil losses of the hydraulic system. Required steps are contained in a separate VkBl issue (Sicherung von Kippeinrichtungen sowie von Hub- u sonstigen Arbeitsgeräten an StraßenFz, VkBl 1978 S 25 - Safeguarding of tipping devices and of lifting and other implements on road vehicles).

6

Operation responsibility (§ 31 and § 23 StVO)

The rules on the responsibility of the conductor and the owner of the vhcl for the operation of the vhcl also apply to the use of work machines.

7

Vhcl parts endangering traffic (§ 30c paragraph 1)

In as far as possible, no parts may protrude beyond the contour of the implement in such a way that they endanger other traffic. In particular, these parts must not entail any further damage in the case of an accident. When the jutting out cannot be avoided, parts must be covered. If this is impossible despite reasonable effort, they must be marked with plates or foils. Parts are not considered a danger to traffic if they are positioned at a height of more than 2.0 m above road level (cf. "Beispielkatalog über die Absicherung verkehrsgefährdender Teile an Fz der Land- u Forstwirtschaft", VkBl 1985 p. 436 ff Catalogue of examples for safeguarding traffic-endangering components on vehicles used in agricultural and forestry operations).

8

Measurements (§ 32)

On public roads, maximum width is considered to be 3.0 m, maximum height to be 4.0, maximum length to be 12.0 m for single vhcls. The same measurements apply to the tractor (vhcl with attached lof work machine), except for the maximum length which is considered to be 18 m.

9

Passing-through protection (§ 32b)

For work machines, no protection for passing through is required.

10 Axle load and total weight (§ 34) The permissible axle loads and total weights must not be exceeded.

0293 208.1 - BA XERION

If axle loads according to § 34 and permissible total weight are exceeded, a certificate of exemption according to § 70 issued by the appropriate authority pursuant to municipal law is required for each case.

Furthermore, a permission according to § 29 sect 3 StVO is required, without which such a work machine is not permitted for transit on public roads.

If work machines are equipped with tires other than air tires or rubber tires permissible under § 36, the axle load must not exceed 4.0 t.

11 Tires and contact surfaces (§ 36) If the purpose of work machines requires tires without profile or tracks, certificates of exemption according to § 36 and § 70 are required.

Instead of air tires, rubber tires can be employed for speeds up to 25 kmph and iron tires for speeds up to 8 kmph, if compliant with the requirements in § 36 sect. 3 and 4.

12 Hub caps (§ 36a paragraph 2) Hub caps are not required for work machines.

13 Steering device (§ 38) As far as they influence operation on the road, steering devices must comply with the rules of § 38 and the other issued guidelines.

14 Brakes and locking quoins (§ 41) If not stated otherwise, work machines must be fitted, tear-away protection and locking brake system which can be combined with each other. A safety rope may be used instead of the breakaway brake of single-axle implements; in this case, an exceptional approval from § 41 is required according to § 70.

If the tractor reaches the braking retardation required for the hauling vhcl, and – if with double-axle work machines with a distance between wheels of less than 1.0 m and with single-axle machines the axle load of the device amounts to half of the weight of the hauling vhcl, at a maximum of 3.0 t, and – if with unsuspended work machines the dead weight of the machine amounts to half of the dead weight of the hauling vhcl with a maximum of 3.0 t, no separate braking system is required for the trailer.

Work machines with a permissible maximum speed of not more than 8 kmph must be fitted with a sufficient brake which can easily be employed during drives and be locked.

3.1.9

General information The usage of braking systems as operation brake operated with a manual lever at the hauling installation, is permitted up to a permissible work machine maximum total weight of not more than 2.0 t, if the manual lever can be operated from the drivers seat and the speed does not exceed 25 kmph.

Unpluggable hand-operated levers for the confirmation of operating- and braking systems are for work equipment with a maximum laden weight of not more than 4.0 t permitted, as long as the speed does not exceed 25 kmph.

Trailer brake systems are permissible for work machine with a maximum total weight of 8.0 t. If the total weight exceeds this maximum, an operating braking system has to be provided, which can be operated from the hauling vhcl together with its operating braking system. With compressed air braking systems and speeds exceeding 25 kmph, pressure-rise controlled dual brake systems are required. If the total weight exceeds 9.0 t and if the speed exceeds 25 kmph, a permanent braking system must be extant, if the operating brake system does not possess permanent brake system properties (§ 41 paragraph 15 Nr 4).

By heavy soil treatment machines, it must be observed that the break on the supporting-leg only for the permissible axles weight of that axle is to be used. When, through the insulation of a brake system on the support-leg, a hazard to traffic is created, then the addition of a brake is no longer necessary. For an exception (§ 41 sect. 11), a positive officially accredited experts opinion must obtained.

Double-axle work machines with a total permissible weight of more than 750 kg must with a locking coin single-axle and double-axle with an axle distance from less than 1.0 m, with a permissible weight from more than 750 kg, fitted with two locking coins. The locking coins must safe to handle and sufficiently effective. They must be easy to attach in, or on, the vehicle with fixtures, that prevent loss or rattling.

Hooks or chains may not be used as fixtures.

15 Installations for connections of vehicles (§ 43) For the connection of work machines with lof segments, the following possibilities are given to the hauling vehicle (see also under 3): – factory approved trailer couplings and also hitch couplings in line with § 43 sect. 4 and § 22a, – tractor trailers, towing arms, and three point attachments that according to § 22a sect. 1 nr.

6b non-factory certified towing couplings and also towing hooks and towing arms according to Rili 89/173 EWG.

3.1.10

16 Support-leg installations and support-leg loads (§§ 43 & 44) Single-axle work machines must have adjustable support-legs when the supporting weight exceeds 50 kg. This, however, does not apply to trailers behind vehicles with the appropriate drawbar power lifter. The male coupling device must, by multi-axle work machines, a minimum of 200 mm from the ground and the female coupling device must be adjustable to the height of the coupling mouth.

The support-leg load of a single-axle work machine, including brakes, is allowed to equal no more than 20 % of the total allowed weight.

A connection from a vehicle to a trailer with a three point attachment allows more than 20 % of the total weight because this connections form provides stability.

By travelling single-axle work machines is allowed, in regard to driving safety, the quotient hA/S should not be greater than, or at least as great as the sum of equal hA/S = 1.4 – 2 [1 – (D/GA)] For D/GA the value of the desired single-axle load can be substituted.

This means: D = Load of single-axle work machine GA = weight of work machine (total weight) hA = Height of centre of gravity from work machine (with total weight) S = width of work machine 17 Light installations, warning signs, visibility (§§ 49a 'til 54) Only legally acceptable lights may be installed on the machines. When pairs of the same lights are installed they must all adhere to the law requirements for height and symmetry, except for machines which have an unsymmetrical shape. This is detailed in the pamphlet containing all information concerning possibilities for light installations called 'lighting from lof machines and trailers' (VkBl 1990 S 554 ff.).

Here are, briefly described, the installations that are legally required: 17.1 White border lights Two forward facing border lights, when the side borders of the machine exceed 400 mm of the forward border lights from the vehicle.

17.2 Clean tail lights On the side, clean, yellow tail lights on each broad side of machines that have come into transit after 1.1.1981.

BA XERION - 0293 208.1

General information 17.3 Two red rear tail lights

17.9 Reflectors, tail lights and brake lights

The furthest point of the tail lights should not exceed 400 mm from the widest contour of the machine and the highest point of lights should not exceed 900 mm over the road. Should the model not allow for these specifications, then two tail lights are required that are as low as possible, but not more than 400 mm away from the widest part of the machine and as far away from the other pair as possible. These lights must also be at least 900 mm over the road. On soil treatment devices the tail lights may be removable.

It is required:

17.4 Two red tail lights

Speed signs are not set, however, § 30a sect. 2 should be considered.

The lowest point must be at least 350 mm and the highest point of the illuminated space can be no higher than 1500 mm over the road. If the implement design does not allow for this, the taillights may be fitted in a higher position, being no higher than 2100 mm.

The most outside point must not be more than 400 mm from the widest point of the implement contour.

17.5 Two brakes lights Taillight dimensions; without defining the lateral clearance from the widest point of the implement contour.

17.6 Signal lights If the vehicle signal lights are obscured, then lights must be attached to the back of the equipment.

17.7 Fog lights Fog lights are required for vehicles that can travel at more than 60 kmph.

17.8 Removable photometric mechanisms and characteristics (§ 49a paragraphs 9 and 10) Tail lights, fog tail lights, tracking lights, contour lights, border lights, brake lights, rear direction-of-travel indicators and license plate with license plate lights as well as two extra reflectors may be attached to a removable sign or rack (light carrier), that may also consist of two or three units, if these units and the holders on the vehicle are secured such that an inappropriate mounting is not possible. The use of light carriers according to DIN 11 027 is recommended for this. Working side lights may also be attached in front of these units.

0293 208.1 - BA XERION

They must be attached to the most outer edge of the machine. If this is not possible due to the construction of the machine, or if the space between the end of the machine and the tail lights, brake lights, and reflectors is more than 1000 mm, then an additional reflector or light must be attached either according to the laws at the high of the road-center line, or as far back as possible.

18 Speed signs (§ 58 sect. 4)

19 Company logos and vehicle i.d numbers (§ 59) A company logo over the vehicle i.d number is required, as long as the equipment meets the standards of the BEP. The vehicle i.d number must be at an accessible spot, easy to read, at the front, right hand side of the machine. It may either be a stamp or etching.

20 Official plates (§ 60) Work equipment doesn´t require license plates, as long as the plates from the hauling vehicle are visible. When the plates are no longer visible from the hauling vehicle, then it is sufficient to assign a plate that belongs to the driver.

Where applicable, the maximum allowance for the top margin of the rear plate should not be more than 1200 mm over the road. If the model of the vehicle does not allow for this, then more space can be used. The plates must be positioned according to § 60 sect. 4.

Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the intended use; the manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage or injury resulting from this misuse and these risks must be born solely by the user.

Danger!

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

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

This vehicle may be operated, serviced and repaired only by persons familiar with all its special features and acquainted with the relevant safety rules (accident prevention).

☞ Preventive measures.

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

Caution!

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.

Fitting and retrofitting of ancillary equipment which was not originally manufactured by CLAAS, and 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 vehicle will relieve the manufacturer of all liability for any resulting damage or injury.

Note!

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

General safety and accident prevention regulations 1. In addition to the instructions contained in this Operator's Manual, also observe the general safety and accident prevention regulations.

Environment!

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

2. Always comply with local traffic regulations when driving on public roads! This applies in particular to vehicle operation with vehicle-mounted implements on public roads.

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

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

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

4. Start the engine only from the operator's seat.

Never attempt to start the engine by jump starting the engine terminals as the machine may immediately start to move!

5. Before starting to move, always check the immediate vicinity of the machine (e.g. for children). Ensure adequate visibility. Honk the horn!

6. Never run the engine in a closed building!

0293 208.1 - BA XERION

4.1.1

Safety rules 7. Clothing worn by the operator must be close-fitting. Avoid wearing loose clothing!

8. Handle fuel with care – it is highly flammable.

Never refuel the machine in the vicinity of open flames or sparks.

Do not smoke during refuelling!

9. Stop the engine and remove the ignition key before refuelling. Fill the fuel tank outdoors.

Clean up any spilled fuel immediately!

10. Prevent fires by keeping the machine clean!

11. Take care when handling brake fluid and battery acid (toxic and corrosive)!

8. In case of any failure of the steering system and brake system, stop the vehicle immediately.

Have the problems rectified immediately!

9. When reversing, drive at an appropriate speed when visibility is restricted. A top speed of 20 kmph is recommended.

10. When travelling on the road without vehicle-mounted implements, move cab to centre position!

11. Drive on the road only with the road travel switch activated!

Leaving the vehicle

Transporting passengers, co-driver, operating personnel 1. Passengers may only be carried if a proper passenger seat is fitted.

2. The carrying of passengers is otherwise not permitted!

Driving operations 1. Before driving the machine and before starting fieldwork adjust the mirrors to provide full view of the road or lane and working area behind.

2. Observe the maximum permissible axle loads and total weights!

3. Attach trailers and implements properly. The driving behaviour, the steering and the braking capacity are influenced by implements, trailers and additional weights. Therefore ensure sufficient steering and braking capability! This applies especially to tractors which are lightweight as compared with the total hauled weight: there is a danger that the vehicle could end up at a right angle on the road when braking.

4. When cornering with trailed or vehicle-mounted implements, consider the wide swing and the flyweight of the implements!

1. Before leaving the vehicle, shut down the p.t.o. shaft, fully lower the implements and apply the parking brake!

2. Turn off the engine and secure the vehicle so that it will not roll away (parking brake, wheel chocks)!

3. Remove the ignition key and lock cab if required!

4. Never leave the vehicle unattended when the engine is still running!

Vehicle-mounted implements 1. Use only trailers complying with national regulations. Ensure flawless operation of the trailer brake system.

2. Implements and trailers must only be attached to the coupling devices provided for that purpose!

3. Ensure the vehicle and implements cannot roll away (parking brake, wheel chocks) before hitching up/unhitching implements.

4. Particular attention is required when hitching up/unhitching trailers or implements!

5. Danger of injury by pinch and shear points near the three-point implement hitch!

5. Always adapt your travel speed to weather conditions! Avoid sudden cornering when travelling uphill or downhill or transversely to a slope.

Deactivate differential lock when cornering.

6. When activating the external controls of the three-point implement hitch, do not step between the machine and the hauled or vehicle-mounted implement!

6. Never leave the operator's platform while driving!

7. Put the vehicle in operation only after having fitted all guards and set them to the proper position!

7. When the engine is not running or if the power steering fails, steering response will be considerably reduced so that much greater effort is required to steer the machine!

4.1.2

BA XERION - 0293 208.1

Safety rules P.t.o. shaft operation 1. The universal drive shaft may only be installed or removed with the engine turned off!

2. When working with p.t.o. shaft drive, no persons are allowed near the rotating p.t.o. shaft or the universal drive shaft!

3. The protective tube and the universal drive shaft guard as well as the p.t.o. shaft guard must be fitted!

4. After disengaging the p.t.o. shaft, the mounted implement may run on due to its flyweight. Do not stand too close to the implement during this time. Work on the implement may start only after it has completely stopped!

5. With the universal drive shaft removed, the p.t.o. shaft must be covered by the protective cap!

6. The p.t.o. shaft-driven implement or the universal drive shaft may be cleaned, lubricated and adjusted only with the p.t.o. shaft disengaged, the engine stopped and the ignition key removed!

Compressor-type air conditioner 1. The air conditioning system is filled with HFC refrigerant R 134 A. HFC refrigerants must not be vented to the atmosphere!

Prior to operation

Prior to operation Putting the automatic air conditioner control into operation Danger!

Important instructions regarding the air conditioning system: 1. Avoid any contact with coolant! Wear gloves and safety goggles.

2. If refrigerant splashes into the eyes, consult a doctor immediately!

3. Have maintenance and repair work carried out by specialised air conditioning system workshops only.

4. Do not weld on or in the vicinity of refrigerant circuit components – Danger of poisoning!!

5. The maximum ambient temperature for refrigerant is 80 °C. Oil for the compressor and refrigerants – see Maintenance section.

Note: When the motor is at a standstill and the ignition is switched on, the evaporator blower speed is reduced to 30 % of the nominal speed after 10 minutes.

This occurs to prevent heavy discharge of the battery.

Switch on the ignition (start the engine).

After the ignition is switched on, the software version is displayed for 3 seconds.

Automatic air conditioner control self-test: After switching-on, the control unit performs a self-test The self-test takes approx. 20 seconds.

Note: ECON mode should be used only when the outside temperature is approx. 8 °C below the cab temperature.

6.1.6

BA XERION - 0293 208.1

Prior to operation Reason: To reach the desired cab temperature, the feed air must be colder than the desired cab temperature when the compressor is shut off.

The evaporator blower speed is 100 % since the difference between cab temperature and setpoint temperature is greater than 5 °C. When the cab temperature approaches the setpoint, the blower speed is continuously decreased.

When the cab temperature equals the setpoint, the evaporator blower has a speed of 30 % of its nominal speed. The heating valve is 100 % open.

When the cab temperature approaches the setpoint, the relationship changes according to the value calculated by the controller.

If the exhaust temperature is lower than the cab temperature, the blower speed is not increased. This is done to prevent air that is too cold from being blown into the cab.

REHEAT operation (Demisting cab windows) Switching on REHEAT operation: Press button (1). LED (3) lights up when REHEAT is switched on.

The evaporator blower speed is shown by the LED bar display (6).

REHEAT operation is activated. The blower speed is 100 %. The speed can be controlled manually by means of buttons (5- and 7+) after actuating button (13).

In REHEAT operation, the compressor is continuously switched on to remove humidity from the cab air.

The controller switches the heater on if required to prevent the cab temperature from changing.

Switching off REHEAT operation: Press button (1) again. REHEAT operation is deactivated.

Operation

Operation DRIVING THE XERION Starting the engine Danger!

Never run the engine in a closed building – Danger of poisoning!

Always actuate the starter from the operator's seat, never short-circuit the battery!

When the engine is started, the p.t.o. shafts also rotate for some revolutions.

☞ Before starting the engine, ensure that no one is standing near the p.t.o. shafts.

Starting the engine: – Turn the ignition key to the stop.

– Release the ignition key as soon as the engine has started.

Note!

Hold the starter in this position for 10 seconds max. Once the engine has started, release the key immediately.

If the starting procedure must be repeated: – Leave ignition switched on for approx. 20 seconds to pre-heat the engine.

– Switch off the ignition and repeat starting procedure.

At low temperatures: – During the cold season, allow the engine to run for a few minutes at idling speed after starting.

Note!

At low transmission oil temperatures, an automatic transmission oil pre-heating phase is provided.

– Use winter fuel if necessary.

Now start driving Driving the Xerion, see page 7.1.3.

0293 208.1 - BA XERION

7.1.1

Operation Selecting the transmission mode Automotive mode The automotive mode is the standard transmission mode which is automatically active every time the engine is started.

In the automotive mode, the engine speed and the transmission ratio are controlled automatically in order to reach the ground speed and the acceleration set by the ground drive pedal.

At low load, the engine speed is automatically reduced to keep fuel consumption as low as possible. At the same time, the transmission ratio is increased to keep the ground speed constant. When the engine load rises again, the speed is increased accordingly.

In the automotive mode, the engine speed can be dropped to approx. 1500 rpm due to heavy load. To achieve this, the load-based engine speed drop must be set to the maximum value in the CEBIS menu.

The automatic control of engine speed and transmission ratio is also active when the p.t.o. shaft is engaged. To keep the engine speed constant, see “Activating/changing the fixed engine speed”, page 7.1.17.

To drive in automotive mode, see – “Driving in automotive mode”, page 7.1.4.

Manual mode In manual mode, the engine speed and transmission ratio are set manually. Anti-stalling protection taking effect only when the engine speed falls below idling speed is active instead of the load-based engine speed drop threshold, thus allowing even more engine speed drop.

This mode is therefore particularly suited for applications where extreme speed variations must be expected, e.g. in forest mulching.

The manual mode can be activated only from the CEBIS menu or the rotary switch when the vehicle is standing still and the transmission is in neutral. To drive off in manual mode, see – “Driving off in manual mode”, page 7.1.5.

7.1.2

BA XERION - 0293 208.1

Operation Driving the Xerion Before driving off Danger!

Ensure that the steering wheel position is suitable for the planned working or driving situation.

☞ Thoroughly read and observe the operating instructions and recommendations for use!

Check brakes every time before driving off!

During travel Danger!

In case of failures, especially of the steering system and brake system, stop the vehicle immediately (brake and stop the engine).

Have the problems rectified immediately!

Do not allow riders on access ladders or platform!

Keep a sufficient distance from overhead high-voltage power lines!

Adapt your ground speed and brake response to the current operating state!

☞ Brake vehicle-mounted or hauled loads only with the service brake. In a pushing operation, there is a danger that the vehicle or trailer could end up crosswise to the driving direction.

Be careful when driving downhill, on slopes or when obstacles are in the way! At low transmission ratios, the friction between the wheels and the ground may be light and the vehicle could slip!

☞ Adapt your driving behaviour to the ambient conditions.

☞ Always use the service brake to slow down the vehicle.

☞ Ensure permanent braking effect from the engine!

When cornering with vehicle-mounted or semi-mounted implements, consider swinging wide and the flyweight of the vehicle-mounted implements!

Pushing operation Danger!

Adapt your ground speed and braking response to the current operating state!

F

☞ Brake vehicle-mounted or hauled loads only with the service brake. In a pushing operation, there is a danger that the vehicle or trailer could end up crosswise to the driving direction.

12

Be careful when driving downhill, on slopes or when obstacles are in the way!

☞ Adapt your driving behaviour to the ambient conditions.

☞ Always use the service brake to slow down the vehicle.

☞ Ensure permanent braking effect from the engine!

At low transmission ratios, the friction between the wheels and the ground may be relaxed and the vehicle may slip!

☞ In this case, depress the inching pedal completely to set the transmission to neutral and depress the foot brake.

The automotive mode offers the option of reducing the transmission ratio temporarily. This helps the engine to brake better in a pushing operation, e.g. when travelling downhill with a trailer.

– Move ground speed control lever (F) backwards and keep it there to increase the engine speed.

– Release the ground speed control lever (F) to return to the initial speed.

The transmission ratio reduction is cancelled automatically when: – the vehicle changes from a pushing to traction operation, – the ground drive pedal is depressed.

(Fig. 12)

0293 208.1 - BA XERION

7.1.7

Operation Driving ranges Two driving ranges are available.

In the fast driving range, the possible top speed with the ground drive pedal fully depressed equals the maximum vehicle ground speed.

In the slow range, the top speed can be defined as required. The lower the top speed is set, the finer the dosing is on the ground drive pedal. The slow driving range therefore is particularly suited for fieldwork.

A specific cruise control value can be stored for each driving range. – See also “Storing cruise control values”, page 7.1.11.

Changing the driving range Push rocker switch (12) on the side with the turtle symbol to change to the slow driving range.

The vehicle coasts to the ground speed corresponding to the ground drive pedal position in the slow driving range.

The top speed in the slow driving range and thus the dosing on the ground drive pedal can be set as required. – See CEBIS operation. The top speed is adjusted to 14 kmph ex works.

12 13

– Push rocker switch (12) on the side without a symbol to change to the fast driving range.

BA XERION - 0293 208.1

Operation Cruise control The XERION is equipped with a cruise control function which automatically keeps a defined ground speed constant. If there is temporarily not enough engine power to keep the ground speed constant, the cruise control value remains stored as the target ground speed. As soon as there is sufficient engine power available again, the vehicle accelerates to the set cruise control speed.

In manual mode, the multiplication is used as tempomat value instead of the driving speed.

Storing cruise control values Up to 4 cruise control values can be stored and activated, i.e. one value per driving range and direction of travel.

11

The CEBIS menu allows adjusting precise ground speed values. – See CEBIS operation.

Adjusting a cruise control value: – Drive at the desired ground speed.

19

– Push the cruise control button (11) and keep it pressed for approx. 3 seconds until an acoustic signal is heard.

– Release the cruise control button (11).

The ground speed at the moment of releasing the cruise control button is stored in the cruise control memory of the active driving range and activated.

In manual mode, the transmission ratio calculated from the ground speed and the rated engine speed is set as the cruise control value.

Storing further cruise control values: – Set the desired driving range and/or direction of travel, see “Changing the driving range”, page 7.1.8 and/or “Changing the direction of travel while driving”, page 7.1.10.

– Set the cruise control value for the active driving range and the active direction of travel in the same way.

Short brakings:

G

– Release the ground drive pedal (G) and depress the service brake (B) as required.

Continuous brakings: 40

– Release the ground drive pedal (G) and depress the service brake (B) until the vehicle has stopped.

The transmission reduces its ratio down to standstill.

Very heavy brakings result in a temporary neutral state of the transmission and thus in a quick standstill.

Manual mode: The transmission ratio and the ground speed can be reduced either by the foot brake or by taking back the ground speed control lever.

When depressing the foot brake, the transmission ratio remains constant if possible. The transmission ratio is reduced only when braking heavily in order to avoid stalling of the engine.

Note!

Releasing the brake does not result in a further adaptation of the transmission ratio. For this reason, reduce the transmission ratio when driving off again if required in order to achieve the desired acceleration.

0293 208.1 - BA XERION

7.1.21

Operation When braking to a complete standstill in manual mode, the vehicle goes to a rigidly connected standstill and the symbol shown on the left appears in the CEBIS monitor.

CEBIS Operation

CEBIS Operation CLAAS CEBIS ON-BOARD INFORMATION SYSTEM The CLAAS ELECTRONIC ON- BOARD INFORMATION SYSTEM is a computer-aided control, monitoring, recording and information system for XERION CEBIS is sub-divided into road travel display, harvest display and the menus Hydraulic system, Settings, CEBIS and Supplementary driving information. The menus are sub-divided into sub-menus on several levels.

Via a keypad (C), the operator can call up all desired information on a colour monitor, can enter and edit machine data and settings as well as store and process machine data.

CEBIS is made up of: a colour monitor, 7 keys (C) for entering and controlling the menu and a rotary switch (D) for quick manual settings.

Operation: CEBIS is used for performing machine settings as well as system settings.

When switching on the ignition, CEBIS automatically checks the function of all connected components, sensors, modules and of the monitor.

Start the engine and let it run at idle speed before performing any settings with CEBIS. (Fig. 1, 2)

CEBIS Operation

CEBIS Operation STEERING SETTINGS The Steering menu allows activating and configuring either the standard steering mode for road travel or a special steering program.

Danger!

No persons are allowed in the hazard area of the wheels while the steering is operated!

Always switch over to the standard steering mode before travelling on roads.

☞ Switch on the road travel switch.

Steering programs The following steering programs are available:

Standard steering mode The standard steering mode is suitable for all usual agricultural work.

The combination of front axle and all-wheel steering provides good driving stability both when driving straight ahead and in large corner radii. This also applies when heavy vehicle-mounted implements are used and for high points of gravity.

With small steering angles, the steering behaviour equals the standard steering mode, i.e. the generally known front-axle steering: Minor steering corrections around straight ahead travel are carried out using the front axle only.

(Fig. 1)

1

0293 208.1 - BA XERION

8.5.1

CEBIS Operation In case of large steering angles, e.g. when cornering, steering the rear axle as well increases the vehicle's manoeuvrability: The rear axle is steered in opposite direction to the front axle, which makes the tail of the vehicle swing out to the outside of the corner. – Implements may protrude beyond the outer edge of the corner, trailers are pulled to the outside.

For this reason, remember the special cornering behaviour of the standard steering mode before cornering!

(Fig. 2)

2 All-wheel steering The rear axle is steered opposite to the front axle. The front and rear axles are steered at the same time, resulting in a more sensitive driving behaviour as compared with the standard steering mode. The vehicle tail swings more towards the outside of the corner.

Danger!

Especially with larger steering angles, implements may project out beyond the outer edge of the corner, trailers are pulled towards the outside.

(Fig. 3)

3

8.5.2

BA XERION - 0293 208.1

CEBIS Operation One-sided crab steer mode In the “One-sided crab steer mode” steering program, the rear axle can be steered by a fixed angle of up to approx. 10° to the right or left. See “Maximum rear axle steering angle”, page 8.5.8. The one-sided crab steer mode therefore is particularly suited e.g. for centre correction when travelling straight ahead, especially on slopes.

In case of large steering angles, e.g. when turning around at the end of the field, the rear axle is steered opposite to the front axle in order to increase manoeuvrability.

The “One-sided crab steer mode” steering program guarantees straight-line stability of the rear axle even when lateral forces occur, e.g. on slopes or when pulling implements. The one-sided crab steer mode is therefore recommended for use with crop-specific implements such as beet lifters or forage harvesters.

If the maximum rear axle steering angle of the one-sided crab steer mode is not sufficient, even extreme lateral forces can be compensated in parallel steer mode or in two-sided crab steer mode.

(Fig. 4)

4 Parallel steer mode When using the parallel steer mode, the ruts of the front and rear tyres are besides each other. Parallel steer mode is therefore recommended for uses where a tyre is to roll over the ground only once, e.g. when spreading liquid manure or fertilizer.

The axle angle in parallel steer mode is variable up to a maximum value of approx. 15°. This allows optimum adaptation to the width of the tyres used. See “Maximum parallel steer mode steering angle”, page 8.5.9.

In case of large steering angles, e.g. when turning around at the end of a field, the rear axle is steered opposite to the front axle, in order to increase manoeuvrability.

Note!

Vehicle-mounted or trailed implements must be adapted to the driving mode in parallel steer mode.

(Fig. 5)

5

0293 208.1 - BA XERION

8.5.3

CEBIS Operation Two-sided crab steer mode In two-sided crab steer mode, the amount and the direction of the rear axle steering angle are matched exactly to the front axle. This applies to all possible steering angles up to the limit stop.

When turning around, e.g. at the end of the field, the rear axle is steered opposite to the front axle in order to increase manoeuvrability.

Two-sided crab steer mode is recommended for applications requiring high mobility: When approaching a beet stack or a transport vehicle, two-sided crab steer mode e.g. allows leaving the direction of travel diagonally in order to return to the working position without delay by travelling diagonally.

(Fig. 6)

6 Ground speed control lever The ground speed control lever steering program allows steering the rear axle independently of the front axle. Ground speed control lever steering is therefore recommended for manoeuvring and difficult coupling operations.

(Fig. 7)

7

8.5.4

BA XERION - 0293 208.1

CEBIS Operation Synchronous steering When synchronous steering is activated, the steering pole axis (L) running through the pivot point of the axles can be shifted to the front or the rear from the vehicle centre. This can increase vehicle manoeuvrability and avoid displacing implements at right angles to the direction of travel. This applies in particular to implements whose working or pivot point is located behind the vehicle.

8

Synchronous steering is therefore recommended for work with implements that react critically to lateral displacement. This applies e.g. to semi-mounted ploughs or forest mulchers.

Changing or setting the steering program may result in a completely different driving behaviour of the machine!

☞ For this reason, drive extremely carefully after changing the steering program! – This applies in particular to settings regarding cornering!

Consider cornering behaviour of the standard steering mode:

☞ Consider the wide swing and the flyweight of mounted or trailed implements.

☞ Approach corners, especially sharp corners, at their inside radius.

☞ Steer into the corner early. ☞ Do not abruptly correct steering while cornering.

☞ Watch in particular the traffic passing on the left or right when turning off on a road!

Warranty on non-genuine CATERPILLAR products

When using products, accessories or consumables (filters, oil, diesel fuel, additives, starting pilot etc.) from a supplier different from CATERPILLAR on CATERPILLAR engines, the CATERPILLAR warranty will not be influenced solely by that fact.

CATERPILLAR / CLAAS will however not be held responsible for warranty should products, accessories or consumables from a supplier different from CATERPILLAR be used or fitted and result in any damage.

Due to the great number of different products (additives, accessories and auxiliary agents) from suppliers different from CATERPILLAR, it is impossible to guarantee compatibility among the outside products or with CATERPILLAR products. The installation or use of such products remains the liability of the customer, and the customer is solely responsible for all the risks and damage involved.

Approved engine oils

Only engine oil approved by Caterpillar and referred to as API CH-4 may be used – see Lubricants chart, page 11.2.2 .
