The control system is more stable if the distance between the adjustable cutting tool blades and the ground is not too great.
When pushing the floor onto the knife beam (especially with large tires), the adjustable runners must
be further emphasized. As a result, better contact pressure regulation is achieved.

turning drum
The turning drum (1) brakes the straw coming from the
threshing drum (2) and directs it via the straw deflector plate
(3) onto the straw walkers at the front. The shaker surface is
thus fully utilized.

A height-adjustable spray cloth (S) behind the turning
drum also catches the last spray grains and directs them
to the front of the shaker.
If the spray cloth is worn or set too high, the spray grains are
thrown too far back onto the shaker and can no longer be
separated in time. After prolonged use, check the spray cloth
for good condition and replace if necessary.

preparation floor
The mixture of grain, chaff and short straw separated by the
threshing concave and straw walker is collected on the
preparation floor (1). It is loosened by the oscillating
movement of the grain pan and fed evenly to the top sieve
(5).
A heavily contaminated grain pan results in uneven
loading of the sieves, makes sieving work more difficult
and results in losses. Always keep the preparation floor
clean!
(Fig. 142 and 143)
cleaning fan
The cleaning fan blows all light parts out of the combine
harvester from below, prevents excessive mat formation of
grain, chaff and short straw on the top sieve when there is

Adjust lamellar sieves
The lamella screens can be adjusted to all grain sizes
using the adjusting levers (5, 6 and 7).
With the adjustment lever (5), the upper lamellar sieve can
be adjusted along its entire length, including the tailings
sieve (4).
Only the tailings sieve (4) can be adjusted with the adjusting
lever (6). Always set the tailings sieve (4) further than the
grain sieve (3).
Tighten or widen the lower lamella sieve with the
adjustment lever (7).
The numbers 1 to 9 on the adjusting lever (7) serve as an
aid and are not dimensions for the slat openings.
If the setting is correct, the amount of grain should be
sieved after three quarters of the sieve surface.
Adjust the tailings sieve (4) for all types of fruit so that
unthreshed parts of the head can fall through and end
up in the tailings.

RETURNS
Coarse parts (e.g. unthreshed ears of corn) fall from the top
and bottom sieves into the returns auger and are fed by the
returns elevator to the threshing units for threshing again.
A lot of tailings leads to a reduction in performance,
grain breakage and losses and is in most cases due to
the cleaning wind being too weak or the sieve openings
being too small.
(Fig. 163)

tailings and the function of the cleaning system can be
checked through the inspection openings during threshing.
When the flap (2) is closed, the lighting (4) is

shaker:
The grains falling from the straw reach the sensor (S)
through the downpipes (F).
(Fig. 165)
sieve box:
The grains carried out over the sieve box fall onto the
sensor (T, Fig. 166).
The excited impulses, electronically amplified, are made
visible by the light bands on the display device.
The sensors take up the entire width of the machine, so that
losses are registered even with irregular loads and when
driving on slopes. The height of the light strip display (1) for
the sieve box and (2) for the shaker depends on the number
of impulses from the grains falling on the sensors.
Straw and chaff produce weaker pulses than grain and are
filtered out in the amplifier and not displayed.
Depending on the specific properties (shape of the grain,
awns, proportion of leaves on the straw, etc.), the different
grain types fall on the sensor with different grain quantities
with the same losses. Therefore an attitude
on the grain type and condition of the threshing material
(straw moisture, green material) with the button (A) for
the sieve box and the button (B) for the shaker
according to the scales 1 to 7 is absolutely necessary

WINTERING SUGGESTIONS FOR It is necessary to put the combine harvester into the winter
COMBINE HARVESTERS after harvesting so that the fixed capital of this working
machine is retained for a long time. Consistent and
conscientious care and simultaneous repair of worn and
possibly damaged parts saves money and time when
restarting them.
1. Clean all bearing points externally from grease and dust.
2. Clean the combine harvesters thoroughly, especially
the threshing drum, the space behind the threshing
drum, preparation floor, return floors, shakers and
above the cleaning fan.
3. Preserve the combine harvesters, including the
lubrication points to be maintained annually, after
harvesting by pressing in branded lubricant and then
allow the machine to run through briefly until a small
amount of grease has formed on the outside of the
bearings to distribute the grease evenly. Adjust the
control drives to thoroughly distribute grease on the
sliding surfaces while the machine is running.
Paint all slip clutches on the outer walls to prevent
moisture from penetrating and preventing rust from
forming on the rubbing surfaces.
4. Open all flaps and snail trays. Remove strainers,
remove fenders.
5. Remove chains, wash with diesel fuel and dip them in
hot chain grease or oil them with chain oil.
6. Relax the V-belts and remove the drive belts (see
“Maintenance” group).
7. Preserve the inner sides of the control wheels
against rust. Also grease all other blank parts,
such as knife bars and ear jacks.
8. hydraulic system:
Change the hydraulic oil in the lifting hydraulics and
in the hydrostatic system. Clean the screen filter in
the hydraulic oil tank, replace the paper filter insert
and replace the hydraulic pump filter cartridge (see
“Maintenance” group).
9. After cleaning, check the combine harvester and have
any necessary repairs carried out immediately.
10. After preserving the engine, place the combine
harvester in a dry, weather-protected room where
no commercial manure is stored!
11. Cutter to reduce the load on the hydraulic system.
Drain onto the floor.
12. Jack up the harvester so that the total weight does not
rest on the wheels, coat the tires with tire protection
paint to prevent the rubber from drying out.

fuel tank
For the filling quantities of the fuel tanks, see “Technical Data”.
A viewing tube (S) at the end of the tank shows the
respective tank contents.
An additional electric fuel gauge is located in the driver's
cab in the driving informer.
Only fill up with clean fuel. Trim the strainer in the filler
(1) from time to time with diesel fuel, replace the
damaged screen. The tank must be sealed tightly after
each refuelling.
To reduce the formation of condensation in the fuel tank,
refuel the combine harvester immediately after work is
finished.
Consolidated water and dirt collected in the tank recess (V)
can be removed from the drain plug (2).

oil filter
The Mercedes 441 A/OM 366 LA/OM 366 A/OM 366
A/OM 366 A/OM 366 and OM 352 A has a paper insert in
the oil filter (1).
Replace the filter element every time you change the
engine oil. Clean the filter housing thoroughly.
(Fig. 34 to 37)
Mercedes OM 366
TAKE NOTE! Turn the engine with the starter until the oil
pressure gauge shows pressure. The speed adjuster lever
must be set to “Stop” so that the engine does not start.
Tension V-belts
When installing new V-belts, check the tension of the
V-belts again after approx. 20 minutes of engine
running time and retighten them if necessary.
Regularly check the V-belt tension with moderate thumb
pressure in the middle of the longest V-belt piece. With the
correct tension, a V-belt can be pushed through by about 8
mm. Re-tighten the V-belts at 12 mm at the latest.
See also the motor manufacturer's operating manual.

KÜHLSYSTEM
Coolant
For coolant regulations, see the engine
manufacturer's operating manual.
The engine is factory-fitted with antifreeze. Always check
the frost resistance before the start of winter.
Replace all engine cooling water hoses every 2 years.
Add sufficient frost protection to the cooling water
before winter.

overpressure
The membrane located under the radiator cap (2) is
compressed when there is excess pressure in the cooling
system.
The water vapor can thus escape through the overflow
pipe (4).
(Fig. 54, 55 and 56)
corrosion protection
If the cooling system is not filled with antifreeze, it is
important to drain the cooling water from the radiator, the
engine block and the oil cooler before the onset of the
cold season. In this case, it is advisable to add corrosion
inhibitors to the circulating cooling water before starting the
engine to prevent corrosion (see lubricant table and
wintering suggestions for engines).
The separation of oil observed when antifreeze is added
does not impair corrosion protection.
warning sign
If the cooler remains without water during the rest period, a
warning sign with the inscription “ATTENTION! Cooler
without water! “on the filler neck and, if appropriate, also
on the steering wheel.
Tighten the radiator cap. Do not fill the engine with cold
water at operating temperature. Only use clean, low-lime
and chlorine-free water from a clean container.

Warnsignal:
When the motor overheats, the transmitter (G) triggers a
warning signal from the buzzer and the warning light (6) in
the driving informer lights up.
See “Driving Informer” Group 2.

three-phase alternator
a) The lines between generator and battery must
never be disconnected when the generator is
running.
b) When connecting the battery, ensure the correct
polarity, otherwise the diodes will be destroyed.
c) Only carry out assembly work on voltage-carrying
parts when the motor is stopped and the battery is
disconnected.
d) In the case of three-phase generators, it is
absolutely necessary to avoid the usual testing by
dabbing against ground whether there is voltage in
a line. The semiconductors are damaged as a result.
e) Disconnect the lines on the three-phase generator
during electrical welding work on the combine
harvester!
f) The three-phase alternator is pre-energized by the
battery via the charge indicator. Failed
incandescent lamps must therefore be replaced for
reliable excitation.
