TX30, TX32, TX34 and TX36 Combine Harvesters are designed as self-propelled units and are powered by an on-board diesel engine. The machines are intended to be used for agricultural Purposes on cultivated land to harvest cereal crops, small seed crops, maize, soy beans, etc., by cutting or picking Up from a swath, threshing and separating the grain from the straw and temporarily storing it until itis unloaded into vehicles for transport. NOISE LEVEL AT OPERATOR'S EAR In line with the European Directive EEC/86/188 and national legislation, listed below are the recommended noise levels at the operator's ear, measured in dBa, according to the ISO 5131 standard. ‘The noise is measured with the engine and all mechanisms running at normal operating speed for the specified use of the product and without crop flow through the machine. For machines with a cabin, the noise is measured with all windows and doors closed and also in the open position. It should be noted that the noise level may exceed 85 dBa: (a) if the machine is not equipped with a cabin, or (b)_ if the machine is equipped with a cabin, but operating with doors and/or windows open. In these cases, the use of ear protection gear is recommended. However, in several Countries this is mandatory so check local legislation.

FORD NEW HOLLAND is not liable for any damage caused by the use of “nongenuine” FORD NEW HOLLAND parts and accessories. IMPORTANT ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS Soil, air and water are vital factors of agriculture and of life in general. Where legislation does not yet rule the treatment of some of the substances which are required by advanced technology, common sense should govern the use and the disposal of the products of a chemical and a petrochemical nature. The following are recommendations which may be of assistance ‘© Become acquainted with and respect the relative legislation applicable in your country. ¢ Where no legislation exists, obtain information from suppliers of oils, fuels, antifreeze, cleaning agents, etc. for their effect on man and nature and for safe ways of storage, usage and disposal. Agricultural consultants will, in many cases, be able to help you as wellSAFETY Helpful hints: 1. Avoid filling fuel tanks using jerrycans or inappropriate pressurized fuel delivery systems which may cause considerable spillage. 2. In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils, acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain substances which can be harmful to your health. 3. Use bio-degradable oils for chain lubrication where oils cannot be recuperated. In many countries rape seed oils or other agro-based lubricants have become available, 4, Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contaminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating systems. 5. Avoid spillage when draining off used engine coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic oils, brake fluids, etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids cr fuels with lubricants. Store them safely until they can be disposed of in a proper way to comply with local legislation and available resources. 6. Modern coolant mixtures, i.e. antifreeze and other additives, should be replaced every two years. They should not be allowed to get into the soil but should be collected and disposed of safely. 7. Do not open the air-conditioning system yourselt it contains freon gases which should not be released into the air. Your dealer has a special extractor for this purpose and will have to do the recharging of the system anyway. 8. Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or the hydraulic system immediately 9. Do not increase the pressure in a pressurized circuit as this may lead to bursting of the components, 10. Protect hoses during welding as pentrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them, causing the loss of oils, coolant, ete.SAFETY PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS Personal Safety “Throughout this manual and on machine decals, you will find precautionary statements ("CAUTION”, "WARNING", and "DANGER’) followed by specific instructions. These precautions are intended for the personal safety of you and those working with you, Please take time to read them. A CAUTION: The word "CAUTION" is used where a safe behavioural practice, according to operating and maintenance instructions and common safety practices, will protect the operator and others from accident involvement. BA orev: ‘The word "WARNING" denotes a potential or hidden hazard which could possibly cause serious injury. It is used to warn operators and others to exercise due care and attention to avoid a surprise accident with machinery. Bivvvcer The word "DANGER" denotes a forbidden practice in connection with a serious hazard. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE "CAUTION", “WARNING” AND "DANGER" INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. Machine Safety Additional precautionary statements ("ATTENTION" and “IMPORTANT") are followed by specific instructions. These statements are intended for machine safety ATTENTION: The word "ATTENTION "is used to warn the operator of potential machine damage if a certain procedure is not followed. IMPORTANT: The word"IMPORTANT" is used to inform the reader of something he needs to know to prevent minor machine damage if a certain procedure is not followed. 10SAFETY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Most farm machinery accidents can be avoided by ‘observing a few simple precautions. General and Operating Safety 1 10. The machine must only be used by a skilled operator familiar with all the controls and harvesting techniques on cultivated land with slopes up to 25% maximum (provided good even ground and sufficient tyre adherence conditions exist) When driving on public roads, observe trattic regulations, adapt your speed to road and traffic conditions and ensure that all lights and other safety mechanisms on the combine (if they are required) are fitted and work properly. ‘The grain tank must be empty when driving on the road. Ensure that both brake pedals are locked together when travelling on public roads. Ensure the hazard warning signs provided are installed at the front and the rear of the combine and use the rotating amber traffic warning beacon(s) when driving on public roads to indicate the vehicle is of abnormal size and is slow-moving, Raise and lock the ladders when travelling on public roads. No-one should be standing on the ladders when the machine is moving. Do not permit anyone other than the operator to ride on the combine. Do not brake abruptly to avoid tipping of the combine. Do not exceed 20 km/h (12.5 MPH) when driving downhill. If necessary, change into a lower gear. Before operating the combine ensure that all safety guards are installed. Before starting the engine, ensure everyone is clear of the combine. ‘Warn bystanders by sounding the horn several times. 1"" 12, 13. 14, 15. 16. 17. 18. 19, 20. 24 22, SAFETY Keep children away from and off the combine at all times. Check the wheel nuts torque daily. Do not enter the grain tank wnile the combine engine is running. Use a wooden ciearing club should the grain tank unloading auger become clogged. Do not attempt to clean, lubricate or carry out any adjustments on the harvester while it is in motion or while the engine is running, For safety's sake never leave the operator's platform without first disengaging the harvester drive mechanism, stopping the engine, applying the handbrake and removing the ignition key. Do not work under the combine header unless it is securely blocked and/or the header safety latch is engaged. Do not work around the combine in loose clothing ‘that might catch in any of the moving parts. Keep hands away from moving parts of the combine. Always reinstall all safety guards after lubricating, adjusting or repairing the combine. Replace or repair missing or damaged guards immediately. Keep the fire extinguisher (i installed) within easy reach of the operator. Do not step on the engine cover, grain tank covers or the cab roof. Units equipped with a rear lift system (if installed): ‘* Ensure everyone is clear of the combine when starting the engine, especially with the system on automatic. The rear can move up and down and the rear wheels can move forward or rearwards at this point ‘© Always set the machine level and stop the engine before climbing up the rear steps. 12SAFETY ¢ Keep a greater distance from the combine than with a standard machine, especially when a straw chopper/spreader is installed aid the combine is operating uphill, because small stones or other ‘objects may be thrown far from he unit Let the combine empty itself at he end of the field before turning and switch off the chopperispreader if the projection path risks crossing roads, etc ‘© During operation, the height of the combine may ‘exceed the dimensions described in the chapter headed *Specification”. ‘* Do not leave the engine running with the rear end of the combine lifted on a flat surface, to prevent the engine from running without oil Engine 1. Keep the engine area clean of dust, chaff and straw to prevent the possibily of fires 2. Never idle the engine in an enclosed area as harmful exhaust gases may build up. 3. Wear a suitable hearing protective device, such as ear mutts or ear plugs, if you are exposed to noise which you feel is uncomfortable. 4. The cooling system operates under pressure which is controlled by the radiator cap. It is dangerous to remove the cap while the engine is rot. ‘¢ Switch off the engine and wait until it has cooled. Even then use extreme care when removing the ‘cap. Cover the cap with a rag and turn it slowly to the first stop to allow the pressure to escape before removing the cap completely. Stand clear of the radiator opening as hot coolant may splash out © Never add cold water to a hot radiator. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury from hot coolant or steam blow out and/or damage to the cooling system or engine, 18,SAFETY 5. Antifreeze contains monoethylene glycol and other ‘chemicals which are toxic if taken internally and can be absorbed in toxic amounts though repeated or prolonged skin contact. Follow these precautions when working with antifreeze. '* Do not take antifreeze internally. If antifreeze s swallowed accidentally, obtain medical attention immediately. ‘© Keep antifreeze in sealed contained out of reach of children, livestock or pets. 6. The fuel oil in the injection system is under high pressure and can penetrate the skin. Unqualified persons should not remove or attempt to adjust a fuel injection pump, injector, nozzle or any other part of the fuel infection system. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury. 7. Be very careful to avoid contact with hot engine oil. I the engine ol is extremely hot, allow the oll 0 cool toa moderately warm temperature for safe removal. 8 Donot handle a hot oil filter with bare hands. 9. Continuous and prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Protect your skin by wearing heavy plastic gloves. If oil gets onto the skin wash promptly with soap and water. Diesel Fuel 4. Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These combinations can create an increased fire or explosive hazard. In a closed container such as a fuel tank such blends are more explosive than pure gasoline. Do not use these blends. 2. Never remove the fuel tank cap or refuel with the engine running or hot. 3. Refuel the harvester only when the engine has been tumed off. Do not smoke or use a naked flame when refuelling or when standing near fuel tanks. 14SAFETY 10. 11. 12, Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when filling the tank. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely. if the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with a FORD NEW HOLLAND approved cap. A non- approved, proprietary cap may not be safe. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained. Do not drive equipment near open fires. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes. ‘Arrange fuel purchases so that summer grade fuels are not held over and used in the winter. 16SAFETY SAFETY DECALS The following safety decals have been placed ‘on your combine in the areas indicated in the Figures below.

Feeding Threshing Separation Cleaning Grain storage and unloading 32OPERATION 1. Feeding (Figure 2) ‘The reel 1 (on the Grain or Supertiex Header) cr the gathering chain (on the Maize Header) feeds the crop/cobs into the header 2 towards the auger 3. The auger 3 feeds the crop into the front of the straw elevator 4. Models TX34 and TX36 with lateral flotation only: The straw elevator head pivots on the elevator frame which enables the header to follow deviations in slope of up to 3° on one side or the other, relative to the base unit position ‘The crop is then carried up the straw elevator where it is fed over the detachable stone trap 5 into the drum and concave area. At this point the feeding is complete and the threshing stars. 2. Threshing (Figure 2) ‘Threshing takes place as'the crop passes between the drum 6 and the concave 7. As 33 Fig.2 the drum rotates, it rubs the crop against the concave grate bars. This rubbing action threshes the grain from the straw. Approximately $C percent of the grain is removed from the straw in this area. The free grain falls immediately through the concave and onto the grain pan 8. Most of the straw and a little grain follows the drum around to the beater 9. 3. Separation (Figure 2) The beater 9, with beater concave 10, strips the straw from the drum and guides it to the rotary separator 11 and concave 12, which further separates the grain from the straw. The straw retarding curtain 13 prevents the rotary separator from throwing the straw too far onto the straw walkers 14, The straw walkers oscillate, lift and tumble the straw permitting the remaining grain to fall through the walkers and slide down the walker return pans onto the rear of the grain pan 8OPERATION 4. Cleaning (Figures 3 & 4) a) Units with a self-levelling cleaning shoe The grain and chaff on the grain pan 8 is transported to the rear by the reciprocating action of the exclusive self-levelling cleaning shoe. An electrical actuator ensures that the cleaning shoe automatically remains horizontal in the transverse axis of the machine, even when operating on side slopes up to 17 percent. This innovation increases the capacity of the cleaning shoe considerably when operating in hilly conditions, b) Units with a fixed cleaning shoe As the cleaning shoe is not self- levelling,operation on slight slopes is made possible by the installation of hillside dividers on the grain pans and the top sieve, Hillside dividers are installed as standard equipment on the front 34 Fig. 3 grain pan where they ensure an even distribution of the material before it arrives at the second grain pan. (On the second grain pan and upper sieve, hillside dividers can be installed as optional equipment. They can be removed when working in level field conditions. ‘The first separation takes place on the grain pan where the lighter chatt forms the top layer and the heavier grain the bottom layar. The material falls through the finger grate 15 installed at the rear of the grain pan ‘onto the second grain pan 16. Air from the secondary biow opening 17 of the cleaning fan 18 blows the chaff over the second grain pan so that material with a reasonably high ‘grade of cleanliness falls onto the top sieve 19. In case of high loads on the second grain pan a small amount of material may fall through the holes in the front of the grain pan, onto the bottom sieve.OPERATION Air from the main blow opening 20 of the cleaning fan blows the chaff over the top sieve out of the machine, while the grain, unthreshed heads and small quantities of chaff fall onto the bottom sieve 21 The bottom sieve finally cleans the grain. Grain that passes through the bottom sieve is carried over the grain Plate 22 to the clean grain cross auger 23. Unthreshed heads which do not fall through the bottom sieve are transported by the returns cross auger 24 to the roto-thresher 25 for 35 Fig. rethreshing. From the roto-thresher this material is channelled by the retums auger 26 to the grain pan for cleaning. The thrower 27 projects the material to a deflector plate where it is spread evenly over the grain pan. 5. Storage (Figure 4) The clean grain is channelled into the grain tank 28 by the clean grain cross auger 23, grain elevator 29 and bubble- up auger 30. The grain tank is emptied by the grain tank unloading auger 31 and the unloading tube auger 32.OPERATION CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS Controls Figure 5: ZO7mMD0 w@> Ground speed control lever Header height control lever (mechanical drive only) Reel height control lever Gearshift lever Concave control lever Parking brake Brake pedals & brake interlock Clutch pedal (mechanical drive) or hydrostatic pressure release pedal [emergency stop] (hydrostatic drive) Unloading tube position control lever Zzernx zo Header engaging lever Threshing mechanism engaging lever Unloading system engaging lever Reel fore & aft adjustment pedal (all models) and header & straw elevator reversing pedal (models TX34 and TX36 only) Header reversing lever (models TX30 and 7X32 only) Differential lock pedal (if installed) Steering column titt controlOPERATION Figure 6: Models TX30, TX32 & TX34 — mechanical drive ms | Figs A Stubble height switch-off button B Reel speed adjustment switch (with Grain or Superflex Header), or deck plates adjustment switch (with Maize Header) Figure 7: © Models TX30 & TX32— hydrostatic drive © Model TX34 — hydrostatic drive (without tateral flotation) © Models TX30, TX32 & TX34 — mechanical drive, with Supertiex Header adaptation it A Stubble height switch-off button B_ Reel speed adjustment switch (with Grain or Superfiex Header), or deck plates adjustment switch (with Maize Header) © Header height control switch Figure 8: Models 1X34 & TX36 — hydrostatic drive (with lateral flotation) za Fias A.

Read this Operator's Manual carefully, especially the chapter headed "Safety Precautions’ 2. Check all chain and belt tensions. 3. Check all tyre pressures daily. Keep the tyres inflated to the pressures given in the chapter headed "Specification". The life and performance of the tyres depends largely upon maintaining the correct pressure 4. Check the wheel nuts torque daily during the first week of operation and thereafter on a weekly basis. The traction wheel nuts torque is 610 Nm (61 kgf.m ~ 450 Ibf ft) and the steering Wheel nuts torque is 200 Nm (20 kgf.m = 150 Ibf tt) For units equipped with a rear wheel drive, the steering wheel nuts torque is 400 to 430 Nm (40-43 kgf.m ~ 300-320 lbf fh. 5. Lubricate the combine completely as described under the chapter headed "Lubrication". 6. Check the hydraulic reservoir oil level. Ensure the machine is on level ground and the header and unloading tube hydraulic cylinders are retracted (i.e. the header is lowered to the ground and the unloading tube is in the closed position) before checking the oil level. Add oil if necessary. 10, 1" 12, 13, 14, If the combine is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission, check the oll level in the hydrostatic oil reservoir. Add oll if necessary, Sit on the operator's seat and adjuet it according to your weight and size. Adjust the steering wheel with the steering column tilt control. Further adjustment can be made by loosening the ‘nuts under the steering wheel and placing the steering wheel in the desired position. ‘Adjust the rear view mirrors, if necessary. Start the engine. Refer to the next paragraph headed "Starting the Engine’ Raise the ladder to the operator's platform (when driving on public roads).. The ladder should be locked with the hook to prevent accidental lowering. Ensure the unloading tube is in the closed position and disengage the parking brake. Move the throttle lever into the front notch (ie. maximum speed). Raise the header to its highest position. IMPORTANT: To prevent overheating of the hydraulic oil, do not hold the header height control lever or the switch in the working position longer than is necessary. The same applies to all ‘other hydraulic controls, such as reel height, reel fore and aft adjustment, ground speed variator (clutch pedal) and unloading tube control.(OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINE Ensure you are thoroughly familiar with the instruments and controls before starting the engine for the first time. To start the engine safely, follow the points as outlined below. Daily start-up procedure Proceed as follows 1. Carry out the routine engine service, i.e. check coolant level, oi and fuel level (refer to the chapter headed adjustments and Maintenance’) 2. Ensure the engaging levers of the header, threshing mechanism and unloading system are disengaged. 3. Check that both brake pedals are coupled together and that the parking brake is applied. 4, Ensure the gearshift lever and the ground speed control lever are in the neutral position. 5. Push the engine stop control down. 6. Move the throttle lever into the front notch (ie. maximum speed), 7. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn the key clockwise to the ignition pos! 8 Before starting the engine, warn bystanders by sounding the horn several times. 9. Press the starter button to engage the starter motor. If the engine fails to start atter 30 seconds, release the starter button for about 1 minute before re- engaging the starter motor. 45 10.

When travelling on the road, use third or fourth gear. 2. Slowly release the clutch pedal. 3. To increase speed, push the ground speed ‘control lever forward. To decrease speed, pull the ground speed control lever backwards. NOTE : The action of depressing the olutch pedal automatically returns the ‘ground speed variator to minimum. 4, Stop the machine completely before changing gear. 5. For further information, refer to the chapter headed "Field Operation”.OPERATION Hydrostatic drive units Proceed as follows: 1. Ensure that the ground speed control lever is in the neutral position. Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear. IMPORTANT: Do not depress the hydrostatic pressure release pedal as this is for emergency use only (see below), For field operation, use first, second or third gear depending upon the circumstances. When travelling on the road, use third or fourth gear. A WARNING: To avoid runaway of the Combine (ie. the ground speed increasing when driving downhill and not being able to reduce the speed with the ground speed control lever), it is necessary to shift into a lower gear depending on the steepness of the hill This information is also given on a decal situated near the gearshift lever on the operator's platform. See the Figure below. 3. Move the ground speed control lever forward from the neutral position to advance or from the neutral position rearwards to reverse. The ground speed indicator gauge is divided into three ranges: © Green: High speed Orange :Madium speed © Red: Low speed IMPORTANT: To obtain optimum performance from the hydrostatic transmission, select a ground speed at which the control lever is positioned within the green range while in operation. HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE RELEASE PEDAL The hydrostatic pressure release pedal H (Fig. 5) must only be used: 1. To facilitate gear shifting when the transmission is under load (ie. when on hillsides or in soft field conditions). To change gear, fist place the ground speed contro! lever into neutral, then push on the foot brake until the machine stops. Then push down the pressure release pedal and shift into the desired gear. 2. If a situation arises which requires an EMERGENCY STOP, the pressure release Pedal may be cepressed while in gear, but DO NOT RELEASE THE PEDAL until the ground epeec control lever has beon moved into the neutral position TOWING THE COMBINE Towing the combine is not recommended, but it it must be towed, the following steps must be taken: 1. Place the gearshift lever into neutral and tow at a maximum speed of 16 km/h (10 MPH).(OPERATION. 2. Provide adequate warning signals to make other road users aware that the Combine is being towed.
