Claas Dominator 98 SL Manual Part3

Basic setting and threshing
2. Programming at position “10" of the

setpoint transmitter (53)
Perform programming as described under 1.
With this programming, the cutting height of 150 mm
can be slightly exceeded when used with Auto-
Contour.
TAKE NOTE! The cutting unit can oscillate. It is
particularly important that the cutting unit relief springs
are precisely adjusted.
Note:
Programmes can also be carried out between the “0 -
10” positions on the setpoint transmitter (53). This
changes the maximum cutting height.

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.

CLAAS Contour system (top-up pressure control)

(machine without Auto-
Contour) Working method:
Thanks to the Contour system, the cutting unit becomes automatic
guided automatically with optimal contact pressure on the ground.
As a result, absorption losses are largely avoided and wear
on runners, ear jacks and knife bars is significantly reduced.
Make or observe the following settings, as described in

Auto-Contour:
1. Adjust cutter relief springs
2. Check the cutter suspension and smooth
running of the inclined conveyor suspension
3. Set cutting height display
4. Discharge notice
5. Set the cutting unit lowering speed, see pages 3.21
and 3.22
Adjust contact pressure (cutting unit relief)

The contact pressure must always be set in the field.
Depending on the soil conditions, the contact pressure on
the shift rail (S) on the control box of the Contour system
can be adjusted.
To adjust, loosen the locknut (K). Adjust the nut (M).
Turn right = high contact pressure
Turn left = low contact pressure
After adjustment, retighten the lock nut.
TAKE NOTE! The shift rail (S) must not come into
contact with the cutting unit spring (F), if necessary,
raise the shift box (T) slightly upwards.
(Fig. 82)

Basic rule for setting the concave

1. Selector lever (V) in position (e = narrow).
Set the threshing concave with the main adjustment
lever (H) far enough for all types of fruit that clean
threshing is still guaranteed.
2. Selector lever (V) in position (m = medium).
When the threshing concave outlet is opened further,
the proportion of short straw is reduced, but at the same
time there is less separation in the threshing concave.
Do not set the concave unnecessarily narrow with the
main adjustment lever (H).
3. Selector lever (V) in position (w = wide).
In this setting, approximately the same distance from
the cage entrance to the cage exit can be achieved.
Advantageous for types of fruit that are sensitive to
breakage and difficult to thresh.
See also «Threshing table» for further application instructions.
Make the basic adjustment on both sides for the input with
the adjustment screws (E) and for the output with the
adjustment screws (A).
Check the basic setting annually before the start of the
harvest and correct if necessary.
(Fig. 110)
threshing drum
The threshing drum will only work properly if the rasp bars
are neither bent nor excessively worn. The threshing drum
is balanced by the manufacturer. When changing the rasp
bars, only use bars of the same weight and rebalance the
threshing drum.
(Fig. 111)

The strips must lie firmly on the threshing drum bases.

The fastening screws must be tightened after the
first 10 hours of operation.
Only have threshing drum repairs carried out by a
specialist.
Cleaning the threshing organs

The threshing concave, threshing drum, the space behind
the threshing concave and the beginning of the
preparation floor are heavily exposed to dirt, especially
when there is moisture and green matter.
The consequences are:
Poor concave separation, overloading of the walkers,
imbalance of the threshing cylinder and uneven loading of
the sieves.
In order to maintain the trouble-free function of the
combine harvester, it is very important to check the
points mentioned and to clean them if necessary.
To avoid imbalance, all rasp bars on the threshing drum
must be cleaned evenly.
Large inspection holes (S) facilitate inspection and
cleaning after the flaps have been removed.
(Fig. 112)
threshing drum speed
Threshing drum control drive:

The speed of the threshing drum in connection with the
torque adjustment of the threshing concave enables quick
adjustment to the different properties of the threshing
material. Long, moist straw and fruits that are difficult to
thresh and de-awn require higher threshing drum speeds
than dry and fragile threshing material.


The threshing drum is driven by the turning drum shaft via
the hydraulically adjustable control pulley (1), the wide V-
belt (2), the spring-loaded control pulley (3), the composite
V-belt (4) and the V-belt pulley (5).
The threshing drum speed can be adjusted from 650 to 1500
rpm via the infinitely variable control drive.
For special operating conditions, a threshing drum
variable speed drive with a speed range of 500 to 1250
rpm can be used.
(Fig. 113)

The threshing drum is driven by the turning drum shaft via
the hydraulically adjustable control wheel (1), the wide V-
belt (2) and the spring-loaded control wheel (3). The
threshing drum speed can be adjusted from 650 to 1500
rpm via the infinitely variable control drive.
(Fig. 114)
DO 98 SL - 78 MAXI / CLASSIC
For special operating conditions, a threshing drum control
drive with a control range of 500 to 1400 rpm can be used.

is switched on, the threshing drum speed is shown on the
display (20) on the threshing computer with the toggle
switch (57) switched off - toggle switch locked.
(Fig. 117)
Two-stage variable speed drive

The speed of the threshing drum can be set to two different
speed ranges on the two-stage variable speed gearbox for
threshing fruit that is particularly sensitive to breakage.
1. Level = 280 to 650 rpm
2nd level = 650 to 1500 rpm

Set speed ranges:

1. Screw step, bridge (D) to support (S) at (B) with both
tapered screws.
2. Screw the stage, bridge (D) to the variable speed
drive at (A) with both tapered screws.
(Fig. 118)
Threshing drum speed reduction

(chain drive)
For threshing fruit that is particularly sensitive to breakage, a
chain drive for the threshing drum drive can be installed as a
special request instead of the threshing drum control drive.
By changing the chain wheels (1,2 and 3), three speeds and
an additional fourth stage are possible by changing the chain
wheel (4) on the turning drum.

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.
(Fig. 129)

splashcloth
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.
(Fig. 130)

The height of the spray cloth can be adjusted with the

chain (K) via the lever (H) on the right-hand side of the
combine harvester in the suspension ear (1).
With heavy, green and long straw, set the spray cloth
higher.
In the case of light, short straw and a small amount of
straw, make sure to lower the spray cloth again.
The spray cloth is fixed in the suspension ear (2) so that it
cannot move backwards (e.g. when threshing corn).

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)

For cleaning work on the concave and the preparation

floor, the stepped plates (S) of the preparation floor can be
pulled out to the rear.
Remove the top sieve, loosen the hooks (H) under the
preparation floor and pull out the step plates.
When installing, clean the guides and fasten the step
plates securely with the hooks.
At the end of the grain pan, the main grain falls first
through the wire rake (2) onto the upper sieve, while the
larger parts are held longer. Bent tines cause jams.
(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
sufficient wind and supports the loosening.
Electrical fan speed adjustment

The fan speed can be infinitely adjusted from the driver's
cab using the electric motor (M) (Fig. 144).
Only operate the fan speed adjustment when the
machine is running.
Adjust speed:
The fan speed can be adjusted by operating the toggle
switch (56).
+ = Increase fan speed
- = Reduce fan speed (Fig. 145)

Mechanical fan speed adjustment
Adjust fan display:

When starting up, set the fan to the lowest speed. With the
clamp (K) loose, adjust the plastic indicator rod (P) so that
the colored ring lines up with the smallest number on the
indicator scale (S).
scale values: Dominator 118/108
6 to 14
Dominator 98/88/78

Scale value x 100 = approx. fan speed per minute.
The amount of wind can be infinitely adjusted with the

hand crank (A):
Stronger wind = crank to the right (+)
Wind weaker = crank to the left (-)
The spring (F) prevents automatic adjustment of the hand
crank via a brake.
basic rule: Set the wind as strong as possible according to
the type of fruit.
Operate the control drive only when the combine harvester is running.
(Fig. 146 and 147)
Fan speed indicator

When the machine is running and the threshing
mechanism is switched on, the fan speed is shown on the
display (20) on the threshing computer with the toggle
switch (57) on - toggle switch unlocked.
(Fig. 148)
Setting the sender for the speed display:

Adjust the inductive sensor (J) so that there is a gap of 1 ±
0.5 mm between the cam wheel (Z) and the inductive
sensor.
NOTE! In the case of machines with on-board

information, the gap must be 0.2 ± 0.1 mm.
(Fig. 149)

Adjust wind direction

After removing the hexagon head screws (S), the wind
deflectors in the wind tunnel can be adjusted to four
positions using the levers (H).
Normal position:
Lower lever (H) = 2. Hole from Bottom
Upper Lever (H) = 3. hole from below
Adjust the wind deflectors on the levers (H) as follows:
DO 118 SL MAXI / 108 SL MAXI / 108 SL CLASSIC /

108 CLASSIC
X = approx. 69mm, Y = approx. 59mm
X = approx. 82mm, Y = approx. 56mm
Set the wind deflectors steeper for heavy crops and flatter
for light crops.
After adjusting the wind deflectors, reinsert and tighten
the hexagon head screws (S).
(Fig. 150 and 151)
DO 78 SL/78 CLASSIC
The wind deflector in the wind tunnel can be adjusted in four
positions after removing the hexagonal screw (S) with the
lever (H).
Normal adjustment:
Lever (H) = 2. hole from below
The distance from the floor panel of the wind tunnel
to the wind deflector dimension (W) must then be
129 mm.
Set the wind deflector steeper for heavy types of fruit and
flatter for light types of fruit.
After adjusting the wind deflector, tighten the hexagon

screw (S) again.
(Fig. 152 and 153)

sieves
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.
(Fig. 154)
slope deflectors
(Machine without 3D cleaning)
Slope guide plates (L) can be attached to the webs of
the upper and lower sieve on steep slopes.
The slope guide plates ensure even, loose mat formation
on slopes and thus optimal use of the sieve surface.
(Fig. 155 and 156)
under sieve
Instead of the lower lamellar sieve (U), flat sieves can
also be used for special types of fruit. Flat screens with
different hole sizes (elongated hole and round hole) are
available (see table of screens).

Install top sieve
After installing the louvered screen, first tighten the clamps
(A) for axial attachment. Then fix the sieve with the side
clamps (M and K).
(Fig. 157 and 158)

Remove bottom sieve
First remove the top sieve. Loosen the sieve clamps (S)
for axial attachment on both sides, unhook the adjusting
linkage (7) and pull out the sieve.
(Fig. 159 and 160)

DO 78 SL CLASSIC / 78 CLASSIC
Install bottom sieve
After installation, fix the screen with the screen clamps
(S) and reattach the adjustment linkage (7). Install upper
sieve.
(Fig. 159 and 160)
NOTE! When installing the screens, ensure that all

screw connections are tight!
Dynamic slope compensation

(3D cleaning)
The top sieve is moved in 3 dimensions by dynamic slope

compensation:
1. back and forth
2. back and forth
3. sideways against the slope
The top sieve is also connected to a linkage arm (A) on the

right-hand side. Depending on the slope, this link arm is
automatically changed in its angle of attack to the sieve by
the control unit (S) via the hydraulic cylinder (Z) and the
connecting rod (B). This results in a more or less strong
lateral movement of the top sieve, which basically causes
the material to be conveyed uphill.
The ridges on the seven are not needed. (Fig. 161)
Machine position:
A = mountain side
left B = plain
C = mountain side right

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)
Control returns:
Do not reach into the returns inspection opening
A
- Risk of accidents
Pull the inspection flap (2) up with the button (1), at the
same time the inspection flap (3) opens.
When the flap (2) is opened, the lighting (4) is switched on
at the same time. The quantity and composition of the
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
switched off.
(Fig. 164)
FLOW CONTROL DEVICE
With the electronic throughput control device, the driver

can fully exploit the performance of the combine harvester.
Using a display device on the driver's cab, he can clearly
see how fast he can drive without exceeding the
acceptable grain loss limit.

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
(Fig. 167).
The sieve box losses are not clearly output-dependent like

the straw walker losses. Screen box losses are almost
always due to incorrect machine settings.

Adjustment to fruit types

Select the buttons (A and B) depending on the type of grain:
corn and beans Position 1 to 2
wheat and rye position about 3
barley position about 6
Oats position about 6
lighter types of fruit position 7
(Fig. 167)
Adjust the sensitivity of the sensors

The step switches (C) of the sensors behind the shaker
and sieve box can be set in 3 steps.
Level 1 = for light grains
Level 2 = for medium grains Level
3 = for heavy grains
(Fig. 165, 166 and 168)
First work with the right-of-way speed that is appropriate

for the crop. If, after a sufficient start-up distance, the
fourth to fifth lamps of the light strips (1 and 2) are
constantly lit, stop the machine and check for any loss in
the swath of straw.
a) If the loss is bearable, continue threshing with
the selected setting.
b) If the loss in the separating system is too high, increase
the preselection on button (B) by approx. half a setting
unit to one. Then select the driving speed so
until the fourth or fifth lamp in the light bands lights
up again.
If the grain loss is acceptable, indicated by the fourth or
fifth lamp, optimum threshing performance has been
achieved at this driving speed.
This adjustment of the throughput control device should
be made again in the morning when there is dew, at
noon when it is absolutely dry and in the evening when
the air humidity increases, as described above, for the
grain losses.
If the loss display on the light band (sieve box) is too high,
check the machine settings and in particular the sieves for
mat formation and eliminate the cause.
If the correct type of fruit has been pre-selected on the
button (A) and the cleaning has been properly
adjusted, one of the lamps in the lower area of the
light strip lights up.

shaft via bevel gears (W).
(Fig. 193)
Grain tank full indicator

The grain tank full indicator shows control lights
(34 and 37) in the threshing Informator to see how full the grain tank is.
When the grain tank is about 70% full, the indicator
(37) is switched on by the transmitter (M) via a
microswitch.
When the grain tank is full, the transmitter (E) displays
the total grain tank filling via the control lamp (34). The
sensor (E) can be moved in the perforated rail (L) so that,
depending on the fueling option, the time from the
warning lamp (34) lighting up to fueling can be used
individually.
The grain tank filling can also be monitored from the
driver's cab through large windows.
(Fig. 194)

Acoustic grain tank full indicator

(from machine no )
When the grain tank is 70% full, the control lamp (37) on
the threshing computer is switched on via the transmitter
(M) and the buzzer sounds continuously.
The buzzer can be switched off again by pressing the
push button (T).
A notice: When used on uneven terrain, it can happen
that the 70% full indicator is switched on and off again
due to the grain slipping.
(Fig. 194 and 195)
STRAW CHOPPER
Dangerous cutting tools are located under the
A
straw chopper guard; therefore, during
operation,
k enough distance to keep the chopper.
For all work on the shredder, switch off the threshing

mechanism, shut down the engine and remove the
ignition key.
(Caution, rotating knives.)
Before switching on the machine, make sure that nobody
is in the danger zone of the shredder.
When switching off the machine - note the
overrun of the blade drum!
For use in maize, convert the chopper with the
additional maize equipment and reduce the speed.
Check before operating the chopper

1. The knives for damage and the fastening of the
rotating knives
2. tension of the V-belts
3. The V-belts run freely in the protective devices
4. Setting the counter knife to the desired chop
length
5. Adjustment of the chisel edge

Put the straw chopper into operation

1. Move the straw hood (S) to the front and fasten it
on both sides with the star grip (1).
2. Release star handle (2). Swivel the straw fall plate
(E): (From machine no.) Swivel the straw fall plate
(E) in the straw fall hood all the way back with the
lever. Pivot the straw intake plate (E).
(up to machine no .... ) Straw deflector plate (E) with
Auxiliary tool (see Fig ....... ) swing backwards.
The lock (P) releases the V-belt pulley for the chopper
drive.
3. Pull the straw guide rake (R) out of the lock and fold it
in. Loosen star grips (3) on both sides. Lift the
adjustment plate (B) on the left side. Swivel the
distributor funnel (V) so high that the adjust
snap the metal sheets (B) into the catches (A) on
both sides. Tighten star knobs (3).
4. Slacken the drive V-belt (K) with the tensioning lever
(H). Place the drive V-belt from the outer idler V-belt
pulley on the inner drive V-belt pulley and tension with
the tensioning lever (H). Make sure that the V-belt is
placed in the inner groove (G) of the intermediate
pulley. The groove (M) is for use in corn. Close
protective cover. The shredder is ready for operation.
(Fig. 196, 197 and 198)
Auxiliary tool:
(up to machine no ....... )
The adjustable straw intake plate can be pushed
backwards with the auxiliary tool (X) through the hole in the
partition plate in the machine.
The tool can be accommodated on the spring clips (F) so that
it can be carried along.
(Fig. 199)

Adjust spreading width

The spreading width of the chopper can be adapted to the
cutting unit widths by adjusting the spreading plates (L) with
the lever (O). To adjust, loosen the star grip (4) and move
the lever (O) to the left or right according to the required
spreading width.
Lever to the left = wider spread Lever to
the right = narrower spread
After the adjustment, tighten the star knob again. (Fig.
200)
Electric spreader plate adjustment

With the electric spreader plate adjustment, the chaff
ejection can be shifted to the right and left side. This is
particularly advantageous on slopes and side winds. This
can prevent the chopped material from falling into the grain
that is still standing.
Adjust deflectors
By actuating the center adjuster (T), the deflectors (L) are
adjusted by means of the motor (M). The direction of
rotation of the center adjuster is also the direction of
adjustment of the deflector plates.
(Fig. 201 and 202)
202
Set chop length

The chop length can be changed by turning the knife
carrier. To do this, loosen the hexagon head screws (5 and
6) on both sides of the shredder. The knife carrier can be
turned with a key.
Direction A = chop shorter
Direction B = chop longer
After the adjustment, retighten the hexagon head
screws (5 and 6) on both sides (Fig. 203 and 204).
When chopping rapeseed straw, we recommend setting
the counter knives all the way down.

Set the chisel edge

Caution - risk of injury - wear
gloves.
To adjust the chisel edge, use the fastening
screws (U) in the elongated holes
solve. Set the chisel edge (Q) so that the distance (Y) is 5
mm when the knives are fully swung out. After adjustment,
tighten all fastening screws (U) again.
(Fig. 204)
Put the chopper out of operation and switch to swath

placement
1. Slacken the drive V-belt (K) with the tensioning lever
(H). Place the V-belt from the inner drive V-belt
pulley on the outer idler V-belt pulley. Tension the
V-belt again.
2. Move the straw hood (S) to the rear and fasten it
with the star knob (1) in the rear threaded holes on
both sides.
3. Loosen star grips (3) on both sides. Lift the adjustment
plate (B) on the left side. Swivel the distribution funnel
(V) all the way down. Screw the star knobs back into
the catches (T).
4. Release star handles (2). Swivel the straw fall plate
(E) on the lever (N) (if available) all the way forward.
Screw the star knobs back on. The V-belt drive pulley
is locked by the bolt (P) for the V-belt.
5. Pull the straw steering rake (R) out of the lock, swing it
up and engage. close the protective device. The
chopper has been converted for straw placement in
swaths.
NOTE! If the straw walker is in an unfavorable position, it

may happen that the straw inlet plate (E) hits the downpipes
of the straw walker when swivelling. In this case, turn the
shakers slightly by hand.
(Fig. 205 and 206)
Switch off the function check for the chopper:

When the straw intake plate is swiveled forwards, the
function check of the chopper is switched off by switch
(S).

Bleed steering hydraulics

After any assembly work on the steering hydraulics and its
line, the hydraulic lines must be bled with the engine
switched off and the ignition key removed (two people
required):
1. Jack up the steering axle in the middle to relieve the
steering wheels. Place a clean container under the
steering cylinder to catch the hydraulic oil.
2. Turn the steering wheel to the left stop. Unscrew the
hydraulic hose (R) on the steering cylinder. Turn the
steering wheel to the right until the oil runs out of the
hydraulic hose without any bubbles. Screw on the
hydraulic hose. Continue turning the steering wheel to
the right as far as it will go.
3. Unscrew the hydraulic hose (L) from the steering cylinder.
Turn the steering wheel to the left until the oil runs out of
the hydraulic hose without any bubbles. Screw on the
hydraulic hose.
(Fig. 4 and 5)
NOTE! Check the oil level in the oil tank during

the bleeding process and top up if necessary.

maintenance
Bleed the reel cylinder

After all assembly work on the hydraulic cylinders of the
reel and their supply lines, the reel cylinders must be
vented.
a) Raise the reel up to the stop, if necessary, push down
with your hand.
b) Loosen (do not remove) the bleed screw (A) on
the cylinder!
c) Hold the lever on the hydraulic control unit in the
»raise reel« position. When the oil comes out without
bubbles, tighten the vent screw (A). Then raise and
lower the reel a few times.
d) Reel cylinders must run synchronously, otherwise the
venting process must be repeated.
(Fig. 6)
If the reel cylinders are completely empty, carry out the

first venting process with the reel removed, otherwise
there is a risk of the reel breaking.
Bleed the hydraulic cylinder for the lateral

control of the cutterbar
(Machines with Auto Contour)
This operation is necessary after a repair of the

hydraulic system.
1. Open the stopcock (R) by moving the lever (H) to
(A). Loosen the hexagon locking screw (V) on both
catch pieces. Also loosen the hexagon socket screw
connection (K) on the cylinder head on the right-
hand side.
2. Switch on safety toggle switch (62), toggle switch
(51) for manual operation to the right
actuate so that both cylinders extend. After the air has
escaped, close the screw plugs (V and K).
3. With the cylinders fully extended, loosen the hexagon
socket screw plug (L) on the left-hand side.
4. Actuate the toggle switch (51) in the opposite
direction. After the air has escaped, close the screw
plug (L). The left cylinder is retracted.

Replace filter drier

Replace the filter drier if:

2. With every intervention in the refrigerant circuit, during a

system.
Vacuum refrigerant properly to prevent it

Measures to protect the compressor cooling system

during extended rest periods
We can recommend two options for this:

1. Let the machine run
(compressor with or without service valves).
Let the machine run for 5 to 10 minutes approximately
every four weeks with the air conditioner switched on.
In order for the air conditioner to be switched on, the
temperature in the cabin must be at least + 21° C.
To do this, switch on the heating and heat up the
cabin up to 21° C. Then turn on air conditioning.
For machines without heating, heat up the cabin to
approx. 21° with a heating stove, if necessary.
However, the prerequisite is that the machine is
accessible, ready for use and that the motor is not
preserved.
2. Close the compressor service valves
(compressor with service valves).
Take special care when operating the
service valves. Wear gloves and safety
glasses!

servicing
- Let the engine warm up and then switch on the cabin

heater.
- Heat up the cabin to approx. 21 °C.
For machines without heating, heat up the cabin to
approx. 21° with a heating stove, if necessary.
- Let the air conditioner run for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Shut down the motor and switch off the
battery circuit breaker.
- Pull out the two relays (H) for the air conditioning
system in the central electrical system (see sticker -
protective cover). This ensures that the compressor
cannot run with the service valves when the service
valves are closed.
- Close (screw in) and tighten both service valves (1 and
2).
TAKE NOTE! After closing the valves, screw the
protective caps back on.
(Fig. 60 and 61)
Put the compressor cooling system into operation

1. Remove and tighten both service valves (1 and 2)
completely until they stop, so that the valve seat
surfaces also seal off from the outside.
Screw on the caps securely.
2. Plug in the relays (H) at the appropriate locations
in the central electrical system (see sticker -
protective cover).
TAKE NOTE! The relays must never be plugged in as long

as the service valves are closed.

4. Check hoses for wear and chafing - especially with

bows and clamps.
5. Check the condenser and evaporator for
cleanliness. Clean if necessary.
6. Check the humidity indicator (blue ball) for
discoloration. If the blue sphere is already pink, it is
saturated with moisture. The filter dryer must then be
replaced (empty the system and refill it).
TAKE NOTE! If the ball is pink, the filter drier must be

replaced immediately, otherwise the system will be
damaged due to acid formation.

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.

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.

cooling water temperature

The cooling water temperature is displayed by a remote
thermometer. The correct cooling water temperature when
operating the combine harvester is 80° to 95° C.

Clean dry air filter with dust extraction

The coarse and loose dust particles are sucked out of the
filter housing by the dust extraction system. A flexible hose
(S) is connected to the air cleaner cover (D) and exhaust
pipe (A). As a result of a continuous suction effect, most of
the dust is sucked out of the air filter housing and removed
through the exhaust.

battery
The battery is located on the left side of the machine
behind the side panel.
(Fig. 75)
Only let the motor run when the battery is

connected.
Be careful with battery gases —

they are highly explosive!
Avoid sparks and open flames near the
battery.
Remove the cover from the battery when recharging to
prevent the accumulation of highly explosive gases.
Be careful when handling battery acids -
corrosive. Dispose of old batteries properly.
Before initial use, the battery is filled with dilute sulfuric

acid (spec. Weight 1.285 normal, 1.23 for tropics) and
let it load. Check the acidity level regularly, at least
every 14 days. If necessary, top up with distilled water.
The acid level must be approximately 10 mm above
the plates. Have the acid density measured from time
to time with an acid lifter (2) (Fig. 76).
Charge the battery before the combine harvester hibernates
and recharge it every 6 weeks or hand it over to a battery
department for maintenance (see Motor Winterization).

motors
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.

WINTERING SUGGESTIONS FOR ENGINES Restarting

Machines with no antifreeze in the cooling system: Add
Careful care of the engines that have been shut down in
approx. 1/2 liter of corrosion protection additive to the
winter is a necessity for a combine harvester, as the
cooling water to 10 liters of water. Mix the anti-corrosion
damage that has occurred is irreparable. The biggest
additive thoroughly with the cooling water before filling.
risks to idle engines are:
(The corrosion protection additive has no particular effects
a) the rust that settles on the finely machined running in connection with frost protection agents and can also be
surfaces and bearing areas, added to the cooling water during harvesting).
b) The acids that may be contained in poor When the new combine is delivered (from the factory),
lubricants and fuels. the engine cooling system is equipped with antifreeze
and anti-corrosion additives. Fill the fuel tank.
The following preservatives are required:
Corrosion protection oil depending on engine type and anti-
corrosion additive for cooling systems of water-cooled
engines (see lubricant table).
engine preservation
1. Clean the outside of the engine thoroughly.
2. For diesel engines, empty the fuel tank and rinse with
fuel, clean the fuel pre-cleaner and replace the fuel
filter. Fill a sufficient quantity of fuel mixture (10 parts
diesel fuel -1 part anti-corrosion oil) into the fuel tank.
TAKE NOTE! Only fill up with enough fuel that it is

sufficient for an engine run time of approx. 10
minutes.
3. Replace cooling water and air intake hoses every 2

years.
4. Let the engine warm up and shut it off. Drain the engine
oil when the engine is still warm. Replace oil filter.
5. Fill up anti-corrosion oil (see lubricant table).
6. Let the engine run at reduced idle speed for
approximately 5 minutes. Shut off the engine, remove
the air intake manifold from the intake manifold. Inject
anti-corrosion oil vigorously into the suction manifold
using an atomizer (flip syringe or spray can). At the
same time, turn the engine off with the starter when
the fuel pump is switched off (speed control lever set
to “Stop”). Install air intake pipe.
7. Replace the air cleaner main cartridge. Remove the
air filter suction screen. Seal the intake port and
exhaust tailpipe tightly.
8. Place a warning label on the oil filler neck and on the
steering wheel:” ATTENTION! Engine contains anti-
corrosion oil.” Drain oil before starting up and refill
with new oil in accordance with the lubricant table.
9. Drain the cooling water from the radiator and engine
block without antifreeze. The drain valves or drain
plugs must remain open. warning sign
Install the “radiator without water” on the cooling
water filler neck and on the steering wheel.
Check the frost protection density for
cooling water with antifreeze.
10. Completely empty the fuel container and spray
with anti-corrosion oil from the inside (flitspritze).
11. Hand over the battery to a battery
department for care or possibly use it
elsewhere.
