GENERAL INFORMATION
Trailer hitch - Fig. 29 and Fig. 30

The combine is always equipped with a hitch for
table trailer.
Two types of trailer hitch are available:
• Standard (1)
• Rockinger (2).
The horizontal and vertical loading capacity of the
hitches is specified on the decal (3).
The hitch is capable of towing a horizontal load of
approx. 3000 kg. 3
The vertical load on the hitch and the load applied
by the trailer eyebolt is max. 200 kg.
This max. vertical load that can be supported by the 1
tyres but not by the eyebolt may be limited by the
max. permissible load on the tyres combined with
any ballast weights mounted on the rear axle. Such
limits are described in the combine registration
papers (depending on country). Fig. 29
CAUTION: Both trailer hitches can be

¥ moved rearwards using a specific support;
this option reduces the risk of interference
between the trailer draw bar and the rear
wheels. Using the Rockinger hitch with
additional support, it is not possible to turn
more than 75° (angle between the combine
axle and the trailer draw bar). 3

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.7 APPROPRIATE USE

5180E combines are designed as self-propelled units with a diesel engine.
The machines are manufactured exclusively for usual agricultural purposes, i.e. for harvesting cereal, seed,
rice, maize, soya, etc. by cutting or picking-up the crop, threshing and separating the grains from the ears,
delivering the grains in the grain tank and unloading them into the grain wagon.
When operating the machine make sure the cab doors are shut.
The machines may be operated only by skilled personnel, who are thoroughly familiar with all machine func-
tions and their operation.
Machine stability is ensured on the following inclinations, on condition that the ground is firm and the tyres
offer sufficient grip:
25% (15 °) longitudinally (uphill and downhill).
30% (18 °) crosswise.
Fendt 5180 E model

The above combine model is designed for working on level ground to ensure even distribution of the crop
inside the machine. This model HAS NOT been developed for working on hilly ground.
WARNING: The combine may be transported on public roads only with an empty grain tank.
¥
DANGER: Correct management of the machine, both during road transport and during field work,
¥ requires an operator to be sitting in the operator seat (the operator is not allowed to drive the machine
standing).
WARNING: Operators should not use alcohol or drugs which can effect their alertness or coordina-
¥ tion when operating the combine. Operators on prescription or over-the-counter drugs need medical
advice as to whether or not they can operate the combine properly.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.8 NOISE LEVEL IN THE CAB
With reference to the 98/37/EC and 86/188/EEC Directives and national regulations, the noise level at the
operator's ear measured in dB (A) according to ISO 5131 standard are listed below.
The noise level is measured while the combine is stationary, the engine running at max. speed, the threshing
unit being engaged at normal operating speed for this specific purpose, and without crop in the tank.
On these combines a noise level of 85 dB (A) is exceeded only if the combines are operated with doors open.
In such cases, it is recommend to wear hearing protectors as prescribed by national law.

1.9 FIRE RESISTANCE INSIDE THE CAB
All non-metal parts inside the operator cab comply with ISO 3795 requirements.
1.10 STATUTORY REGULATIONS
The combine can be equipped with special safety guards or other balancing and safety devices in accordance
with local regulations or requirements.
The effectiveness of guards and other safety devices is only as comprehensive as the operator allows in
practising caution and following the manufacturer's prescriptions whenever the machine is running.
Any supplementary local regulations must be complied with.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.11 VIBRATIONS IN THE CAB

With reference to Machine Directive 98/37/EC and further updates the vibration levels to which the operator's
body (in his seat) is exposed, are listed below, using the most appropriate measuring methods (at operating
and transport speeds).
The vibration levels are measured three-dimensionally at the operator seat in accordance with the EN ISO
5008 standard.
The values below refer to the mean weighted square value in frequency (Bw in m/s2).
Longitudinal Acceleration Transverse Acceleration Vertical Acceleration
Bw < 0.5 Bw < 0.5 Bw < 0.5
The vibration values measured at the armrests of the seat are lower than 2.5 Bw.
1.12 HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS: HOSES

Hoses are an important part of modern machines.
Hose features may change over the years when exposed to pressure, vibrations, weather conditions, etc.
Regulations in force (e.g. Draft DIN 20066) require hose replacement six years from manufacturing (the man-
ufacturing date is printed on most hoses, which helps determine when replacement is due).
It is important to observe these recommendations.
DANGER:
¥
• In case of leaks, pressurised liquid may penetrate your skin and cause severe injury; immediately seek
medical advice from a doctor familiar with this type of accident: This kind of injury requires surgery.
• Always relieve the pressure before operating on the hydraulic system.
• Ensure that all hydraulic couplings are properly tightened before letting oil into a pressurised circuit.
• Search for leaks without touching with bare hands; e.g. use a piece of cardboard.
• Wear suitable protective clothing to avoid touching liquids with hands or body.
1.13 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS AND

COMPONENTS (EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 982)
• Hoses may not be manufactured using recycled material.
• Never weld on hydraulic lines.
• In case of damage, immediately replace the lines.
• Do not modify hydraulic accumulators through adjustment, welding, etc.
• Before removing the hydraulic accumulators to carry out service or maintenance, relieve the pressure
completely.
• Service or maintenance on hydraulic accumulators should only be carried out by skilled technicians who
are thoroughly familiar with these components.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.14 SCRAPPING AND DISPOSAL
In addition to the recommendations in the section "Important Notes on Environmental Protection", the instruc-
tions listed below must be followed when the time comes to scrap the combine.
• Find out about the legal requirements in your country and comply strictly with them.
• If no regulations are in force, contact your Dealer about the possibility of handing over the combine to a
company skilled in machine disposal.
Instructions:
1.) Drain the hydraulic and hydrostatic circuits, engine sump, gearbox, final drives, etc., collecting the oil in
suitable containers to be kept in a safe place until they can be disposed of appropriately.
2.) Drain radiator coolant and store it as described above.
3.) Empty the air-conditioning system. Contact your Dealer or an authorised workshop who has the correct
tools for emptying the system.
4.) Separate different materials, such as glass, plastic, iron, aluminium, tyres, etc. for easier recycling.
1.15 ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS
(89/336/EEC Directive and subsequent updates)
All electric components of the machine emit an electromagnetic field that varies depending on component
features.
Since all situations that may arise in practice cannot be defined, a maximum permissible limit has been set
for electromagnetic emissions.
The purpose is to prevent interference and/or damage to the machine control systems.
ATTENTION:
1.) Any additional equipment installed on the machine which is not built by "AGCO" must bear the CE mark.
2.) The max. power (Watt) of the additional equipment must not exceed the limits set by the national author-
ities.
3.) The electromagnetic field emitted by the electronic components of the machine must not exceed the max.
limit of 24 V/m.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.16 NOTES FOR ROAD TRANSPORT
Many countries have special regulations for driving combines on public roads, e.g.:
• Max. permissible width, length and weight, not requiring permission by the road traffic authorities.
• Max. length of the train, i.e. combine with table on trailer.
• Max. permissible width and length with permit from the road traffic authorities, without accompanying
car/cars.
• Max. permissible forward speed.
• Use of lights, plates or signs to indicate a slow-moving vehicle.
• Additional signs for maximum dimensions.
The combine owner and/or operator should, therefore, inquire about local regulations and require-
ments in this respect.

1
Fig. 2
1. Cutting and gathering - Fig. 2

The function of the reel (1) is to feed the crop cut by the knife (2), into cutting table (3) and table auger (4).
The crop is conveyed towards the centre of the table auger (4) and fed into the main crop elevator (5).
The front roller (6) provides even feed of the crop into the main crop elevator before it is transported by the
elevator chains (7) into the cylinder.
The stone trap (8) prevents stones and other foreign matter from entering the cylinder and cause damage to
the interior parts of the machine. The stone trap is emptied with a lever on the right-hand side of the machine.
The cutting table is driven by a strong 3-section belt.
The mechanically operated reversing mechanism (lever within easy reach from the operator seat) is simple,
functional and easily avoids overloading of the feeding system.
The reversing mechanism reverses main crop elevator and cutting table simultaneously which means that any
crop build-up can be removed.

Fig. 3
Threshing - Fig. 3
The main function of the threshing cylinder (1) and the concave (2) is to separate the grain from the straw,
after which the grain passes through the concave onto the main grain pan (3).
The cylinder of the FENDT 5180E model is equipped with 8 rasp bars mounted on wide diameter (600 mm)
spiders.
The high inertia of the cylinder ensures that the optimum cylinder speed is maintained even if the load
increases.
The concave with 12 rub bars and a wrap of 106° ensures effective threshing and very high separation capac-
ity.
The ABC module with 2 bars is designed to provide a maximum separation area (additional 14°), ensuring
optimum utilisation of the concave capacity.
The concave to cylinder clearance is separately adjustable in front and at the rear with two levers on the
left-hand side of the operator seat.
The machine is delivered with concave filler plates with oblong holes, to be used for crops requiring aggres-
sive de-awning. Normally, a plate inserted in each of the first two spaces of the concave will be sufficient.
In this way the crop is properly threshed and distributed evenly across the full width of the main grain pan (3).
For maize and sunflower a special concave is used, with a wire diameter of 6 mm and a clearance of 24 mm
between the wires.

Fig. 4
Separation - Fig. 4
When the combine is operating at close to maximum capacity, about 90% of the threshed crop is delivered
on the main grain pan (3) by the centrifugal force of the cylinder (1) and rear beater (4), and the aggressive
action of the concave (2) with the ABC module (5).
The efficiency of these components depends on crop type, moisture content and volume of crop.
The separation of the remaining grains from the straw takes place over the straw walkers (8), with four steps,
mounted on cranked shafts. The separated grain that falls through the straw walkers is then carried forward
to the main grain pan (3).
A curtain (9) slows down the straw to prevent it from being thrown too far back on the straw walkers, thereby
optimising their full capacity and improving separation.
Cleaning - Fig. 4 and Fig. 5
The main grain pan (3) conveys the grain to the adjustable top sieve (10) where chaff and light short straws
are blown out the back by the air flow from the fanning mill.
The grains, any unthreshed ears and residues of chaff will fall onto the bottom sieve.
The combined action of the fanning mill and the bottom sieve completes the cleaning.
The grains passing through the bottom sieve (11) are conveyed by the good grain auger (12) to the tank filling
elevator (2 - Fig. 5) and the grain tank.
Any ears that do not pass through the sieve (11) are transported by the returns auger (13) and returns elevator
(14) to the cylinder for rethreshing.

1 2 3
Fig. 5
Grain storage and unloading - Fig. 5
The tank filling elevator (2) carries the clean grain to the centre of the tank (1) ensuring uniform filling. When
the grain reaches a given level in the tank, a sensor activates an alarm in the operator cab and at the same
time the rotating yellow beacon on the roof starts, alerting the waiting grain wagons.
It is advisable to adjust the cover plate for bottom auger in the tank to ensure optimum unloading capacity,
depending on crop type and moisture content.
The unloading auger (3) is turned in and out electrohydraulically, using a push button on the multifunction
lever. Unloading can take place with the unloading auger in any position, using the switch on the rear control
panel.
This feature ensures that the operator can fill the grain wagons evenly and fully even when unloading takes
place on the move.
The horizontal unloading auger ensures constant ground clearance, preventing any risk of collision with grain
wagons.
The quality of the cleaned sample can be easily checked from the hatch on the operator platform, opening
directly into the grain tank.
A wide window behind the operator seat allows the operator to visually check the whole grain tank.

Using the Computer

When the ignition key is turned to position 1, the
computer carries out a short internal test and shows
all the display segments for about 3 seconds. The
display then shows the following start-up informa-
tion (3 seconds for each indication):
• Battery voltage (15)
• Engine operating hours (16) (an "h" appears on
the right)
• Scheduled service inspection hours (17) (flash-
ing "S" on the left, permanent "h" on the right). 18
Finally, the display changes to the forward speed
function (8) (indicated by the arrow (18)).
Scheduled service inspection hours

The display provides information on the number of 8 15 16 17

The service inspection intervals are stored in the

computer.
During functional test and machine data reading
at startup, if one of these intervals has been
reached, the display will show (along with a flashing
"S" on the left) alternately the hours until the sched-
uled service inspection is due, and a letter identify-
ing the type of inspection to be carried out (a, b or
c). This alternating display continues for 5 minutes
if the service inspection has not yet been carried
out. The display can be cancelled by pressing any

envisaged time interval. If the service inspection
cycle has to be reset before 450 hours, press the
right- and left-hand keys together for six seconds.

Forward speed
The operator may calibrate the constant C2: For-
ward speed (to check the value set or correct it, if
the tyre type is changed).
There are two possibilities for carrying out this cali-

bration:
1.) Theoretical calibration:
Select any function with the middle key (3), and

release it.
Then hold the key as described above, until
"C2" appears.
When the key is released, the value of the pre-
viously stored constant is displayed (e.g.
2071), the right digit flashing. 2
This value can be changed using the keys (2 3 4
and 4), according to the type of tyre (see table
below). Fig. 18
The right key (4) is used for changing the value
of the flashing digit, and with the left key (2) the
flash is moved to another digit.
Press the middle key (3) to store the value,
after which the display returns to normal oper-
ation mode.
2.) Practical calibration:
A practical calibration can be carried out in the

field on a distance of 100 metres.
When the value of the constant "C2" is dis-
played, hold the middle key (3) until "-----" is
displayed.
Start the combine and press the left key (2) to
signal start, and the right key (4) to signal the
end of the 100 m distance. During this run, the
value of the constant continuously increases on 1
the display (1).
The value set by pressing the right key (4) is the
new practically determined constant, which is
accurate for this specific machine.
Press the middle key (3) to return to normal
operation mode and store the new value.

8.) Place the engine revolutions lever (2) in the
mid-way position.
9.) Turn the ignition key into position "2" and

release it when the engine starts.
10.) When the engine starts, ensure that all indica-

tor lights switch off. Otherwise, find the fault
immediately or contact your local Dealer, if nec-
essary.
IMPORTANT: Allow the engine to run for 5 minutes

at idling speed before moving the machine, to
ensure correct lubrication of the turbocharger
bushes and hydrostatic drive parts.
11.) Release the parking brake and drive the

machine at low speed for about 10 minutes, to
let the oil reach working temperature.

supporting the main crop elevator.
• Put the cab access ladder in the driving
position (horizontal). Fig. 52
• Cut out the operating controls in the multi-
function lever.
• Be very careful when entering public roads
and while driving. Make an effort not to
obstruct the traffic.
• Operate the rotating yellow beacons (auxil-
2
iary flashing lights).
• Lower the straw chopper spreader hood to
the working position (only on combines
equipped with a straw chopper which are
not towing a table trailer).
• In countries where road transport is permit-
ted with flip-up table attached, mount the
auxiliary lights at the front of the table
(page 1-41).
• Before connecting the table trailer (if it is
used) to the combine trailer hitch, turn the
chaff spreader to a horizontal position Fig. 53
(page 8-14).
• Switch off the work lights.

2.) Position and sidelight adjustment:

3.5 CYLINDER HOUSING

CYLINDER SPEED
Fig. 26 – Fig. 28
To achieve optimum threshing and separation
capacity, adjust the cylinder (1) revolutions and the
concave (2) setting depending on:
• Crop type. 1
• Degree of ripeness and crop variety.
• Moisture content.
• Volume of straw and grain.
• Presence of weeds.
2
Fig. 26
The cylinder speed is adjusted with the switch (3)

while the threshing unit is operating.
Fig. 27
During work, it is possible to check the cylinder

speed by pressing the key (4) until the central arrow
(5) is activated.
Optimum threshing efficiency is obtained when the
cylinder is at max. speed, keeping the min. cylin-
der-to-concave clearance.
If grains are damaged or straw excessively 5
threshed, reduce the cylinder speed and/or
increase the cylinder-to-concave clearance.
If grains are not fully separated from the ears,
increase the cylinder speed and/or reduce the cylin-
der-to-concave clearance.
4
In case of blockage or wrapping, increase the cylin-
der speed.
Fig. 28

FIELD OPERATIONS
3.6 CONCAVE
Fig. 29 – Fig. 34
The adjustment of the concave to cylinder clear-

ance varies depending on crop type, grain diameter
and threshing difficulty.
Usually the clearance must be smaller to the rear
than to the front in order to ensure easier action by
the cylinder on the crop.
The cylinder to concave clearance is easily adjusta-
ble, even while working, using the levers (1 and 2)
on the left of the operator seat.
NOTE: The cylinder to concave clearance can be
read from the scales (3) placed next to the levers (1
and 2). The true clearance can be checked through 1
the side openings (4).
If required, the position of the scales (3) can be 3
adjusted with the nuts (5) on the Bowden cable, so
that the true clearance corresponds to the one dis-
2
played in the cab.
At the end of this procedure, position the concave at
the most suitable clearance for the specific crop Fig. 29
using the levers (1 and 2) (page 3-28).
In the standard concave every second wire is short-
ened on the last four rub bars. This concave design
ensures a high degree of de-awning and excellent
separation.

Fig. 31

FIELD OPERATIONS
Long wires and concave filler plates are supplied

with the concave. These components can be used
to adapt the concave to different crops and harvest-
ing conditions.
The concave filler plates can be easily fitted during
machine assembly before mounting the driving
wheels.
Proceed as follows:
1.) Open the concave inspection door on the
left-hand side of the cylinder housing.
2.) Insert the concave filler plate in the concave
(max. three bars).
3.) Secure the concave filler plates with the sup-
plied rod (6), fitting it in the hole on the side of
the concave (the holes for fastening the plates
are positioned at the first four openings of the
concave).
Fig. 32
4.) Close the concave inspection door.
The concave rub bars must be absolutely parallel
with the cylinder rasp bars. If not, adjust the nuts (7)
of the suspension rods.
To adjust concave and cylinder to a perfectly paral- 6
lel position, proceed as follows:
1.) Loosen the bottom nuts (7) of the suspension
rods on the right- and left-hand sides, to the
rear and front.
2.) Turn the two levers (1 and 2) clockwise up to
the end stop (the scales 3 must show the mini-
mum values).
3.) Retighten the nuts (7) and lock the concave at
the front to get a 6.5 mm clearance (18 mm for
the maize concave) between the cylinder and
concave bars at the opening (8).
4.) Repeat the procedure for the nuts of the rear Fig. 33
suspension rods, obtaining a clearance of 1
mm (11 mm for the maize concave) between
the cylinder and concave bars at the opening
(9).
NOTE: Dismounting/mounting of the concave is
described in the "Fitting Instructions" for the maize
(or rice) kit.

If this does not remove the blockage, proceed as

follows:
1.) Switch off the engine.
2.) Insert the cylinder wrench (1) in the groove at
the end of the cylinder shaft (2).
3.) Turn the cylinder manually in either direction to
remove the material blocking the cylinder.
4.) Having removed the blockage place the
wrench in the support (3) in the top part of the
main crop elevator housing.
5.) Start the engine at low speed and engage the 3
threshing unit.
6.) Bring the concave back into its initial position.

FIELD OPERATIONS
UNIVERSAL WHEAT/MAIZE CON-

CAVE
Fig. 37 – Fig. 39
This type of concave ensures optimum perform-
ance for maize and by fitting two special concave
filler plates in the first two spaces, the machine
achieves excellent throughput when harvesting
cereal and similar products.
3
These features enable users who predominantly
harvest maize to obtain optimum results without
ever having to change the concave. 1
The concave rub bars must be absolutely parallel 1
with the cylinder rasp bars. If not, adjust the nuts (3) 2
of the suspension rods.
To adjust concave and cylinder to a perfectly paral-
lel position, proceed as follows:
Fig. 37
1.) Loosen the nuts (1) of the suspension rods on
the right- and left-hand sides, to the rear and
front.
2.) Tighten the levers (1 and 2 Fig. 29) to the end
stop.
3.) Retighten the nuts (1) and lock the concave at
the front to get a 13 mm clearance between the
4
cylinder and concave bars at the opening (2).
4.) Repeat the procedure for the nuts of the rear
suspension rods, obtaining a clearance of 3
mm between the cylinder and concave bars at
the opening (3).
Basic setting for maize: Adjust the concave clear-
ance to 30 mm at the front and 20 mm at the back.
Basic setting for soya: Adjust the concave clear- 5
ance to 25 mm at the front and 15 mm at the back.
Basic setting for wheat: Fit the ribbed plates (4) to
improve separation, adjust the concave setting to Fig. 38
15 mm at the front, so that, after fitting the ribbed
plates, the clearance between cylinder and concave
bars corresponds to: approx. 6 mm). At the back,
the clearance should be 5 mm.
Under special harvesting conditions (extremely brit-
tle crops) the concave filler plates (5) can be fitted
(available through the Spare Parts Department).
NOTE: The above types of plate (ribbed and with
oblong holes) are specifically designed for the uni-
versal concave.
NOTE: Follow the procedure described on
page 3-12 to fit concave filler plates in the standard
concave.

3.7 REAR BEATER

Fig. 43 and Fig. 44
The rear beater strips the material from the cylinder
and conveys it towards the straw walkers.
For certain crops it may be necessary to remove the
vanes (1) of the rear beater to avoid damaging the
crop. To dismount the vanes remove the door (2)
inside the grain tank next to the rear beater.
IMPORTANT: When dismounting the vanes they
must be numbered and mounted again in the same
order and position as before to ensure the dynamic 1
balancing of the rear beater.
Fig. 43
The combination of the ABC module (3) and the
rear beater that conveys the crop towards the straw
walkers provides optimum separation. 2
ABC = Active - Beater - Concave
ABC MODULE - Fig. 45 1

The ABC module (3) ensures maximum versatility
and capability of handling many different crops. The
two additional bars increase the separation angle to
120° (106° + 14°) improving combine performance.
Fig. 44
The ABC module (3) is positioned at the factory in
the middle hole (4). This adjustment is suited to
almost any crop condition.
When working in long and wet crops, it is advisable
to raise the ABC module by fixing it in the lower
hole.
In brittle and short crops, it is advisable to raise the
ABC module by fixing it in the upper hole. 3
Fig. 45

FIELD OPERATIONS
3.8 STRAW WALKERS

Fig. 46 – Fig. 48
The straw walkers agitate and accelerate the mate-

rial towards the rear. Separated grains which fall
through the walkers are carried forward to the rear 2
of the grain pan.
Straw risers, low type (3) and high type (1) are sup-
plied with the machine.
When harvesting rice and maize, the high straw ris-
ers (1) must be installed on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
step to create some irregularity in the mat of mate-
rial and improve grain separation.
When harvesting maize the curtain (2) should be
mounted at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th step on both
sides to prevent maize cobs from falling between 1
the straw walkers and the machine side.
To increase straw walker action and improve sepa-
ration when working in brittle and short crops, the
low type straw risers (3) can be fitted on the 2nd, 3rd 3
and 4th (optional) step instead of the high type (1).
The curtain (4) mounted on top of the straw walker Fig. 46
housing, slows down the crop and prevents loose
grains from being thrown onto the back of the walk-
ers.
The position of the curtain in relation to the straw
walkers is adjustable with the chain (5) on the
left-hand side, using the attachment (6).
• Lowered: For long and wet crop.
• Raised: For short and brittle crop. 4

Check on both sides that the perforated surfaces of
the cover (1) where air is taken in by the fanning
mill, are clean and undamaged.
The fan speed is correctly adjusted when a cleaned 1
sample is achieved without loss.
Fig. 50
Excessive air can cause grain loss on the sieves.

Insufficient air can cause poor cleaning of the mate-
rial, overloading of the top sieve and poor separa-
tion with subsequent loss.
The basic fan speed recommended for various
crops is shown in the table on page 3-28. 2
Fig. 51
The fanning mill speed is controlled by a variator,
operated by an electric actuator which is activated
by the toggle switch (2) on the control panel.
The fanning mill speed can be displayed on the
on-board computer by pushing the switch (3).

The adjustable sieve (1) opening must be varied
depending on crop type and conditions.
As a rule, considering loss and degree of cleaning
the basic setting shown in the table on page 3-28
should be observed.
The adjustable extension (2) must be opened at
least as wide as the sieve. When working in green
crops (grass, etc.) the opening of the extension
should be reduced in order not to overload the
returns system.
The sieve and extension openings are adjusted at
the back using the levers (3 and 4), respectively. Fig. 57
When harvesting very light crops the inclination of
the extension should be varied in relation to the
sieve (A: High position - B: Normal position). To 1 9 7
change the inclination of the extension, insert the
spacer (5) between the rear beam and the exten- 8
sion, as shown in the figure.
Dismounting the Top Sieve

Proceed as follows:
3
1.) Release the levers (6), loosen the clamp (7)
and remove the extension (2).
2.) Remove the nuts (8) and the screws (9).
3.) Turn the threshing unit manually to align the
nuts (10) with the access hole on each side of
the machine. Fig. 58

2.) Engage the threshing unit, set the fanning mill
speed at max. and let the machine run for
about thirty seconds.
3.) Adjust the fanning mill to normal speed, disen-
gage the threshing unit and when all moving
parts have come to a complete stop, restore
the standard adjustment of sieve and exten- 10
sion.
NOTE: To thoroughly clean the sieve, particularly
when harvesting wet crops, it is advisable to dis-
mount it.

The bottom sieve (1) can be adjusted for any type of 6 1
crop, as shown in the table on page 3-28.
The opening is adjusted with the lever (2).
Sieves with fixed holes are available on option.
Avoid closing the sieve too much or using sieves
with holes which are too small to prevent excessive
returns volume. In this way, crop damage and over-
loading causing grain loss, may be prevented.
A clogged sieve causes the same problems as a
sieve with holes which are too small. It is extremely 5
important to clean the sieve more often in dirty and Fig. 61
weed-infested crop conditions.
Dismounting the Bottom Sieve

1.) Open the rear hatch (3) held by the catches (4).
2.) Loosen the nuts (7).
3.) Remove the sieve by pulling it out of the back. 7 2
Mounting the Bottom Sieve

Proceed in the reverse order.
ATTENTION: When mounting, it is extremely
important to position the sieve correctly in the front
support (6). Tighten the nuts (7) to prevent any
oscillation and consequential sieve damage.

returns volume should be reduced to a minimum.
Adjustments to Reduce the Returns Volume

In case of excessive returns volume the following
action should be taken
a.) Check the parallelism of concave wires and
replace them, if required.
b.) Adjust the opening of the top and bottom sieves
trying to find the right compromise between
1
more open sieves and higher fanning mill

Fig. 68 – Fig. 70
The crop in the tank can be unloaded both when the
machine is at a standstill and on the move, irrespec-
tive of the position of the unloading auger.
The grain tank unloading is engaged by pulling the
lever (1) upwards. 2
Before engaging the grain tank unloading ensure
that the unloading auger is in the desired position.
Unloading is engaged with the push buttons (2) in
the multifunction lever.
WARNING: When the horizontal unloading

¥ auger (3) is operated or when the combine
is driven with the auger in turned out posi-
tion, make sure it does not interfere with
any obstacles or overhead power lines.

Fig. 68
Grain tank unloading auger

The grain tank is unloaded through the interacting
operation of the grain tank bottom auger, the verti-
cal auger and the unloading auger.
The grain tank bottom auger is protected by a cover
plate with extensions (4). The extensions make it
possible to adjust the unloading speed according to 3
crop type and moisture.
Raise the extensions to increase the unloading
speed and lower them to obtain the opposite effect.
From the factory the clearances A and B are set at
120 mm and 80 mm, respectively.
The unloading auger transmission is protected
against overloading by a shear bolt.

4.5 ROUTINE SERVICE INSPECTION

10 HOURS (daily)
1.) Cylinder Variator - Fig. 5
Apply Fendt Extra Grease EP to the grease
nipple.
After each greasing, the variator should be
operated through its whole range (first at max.
revolutions, then at minimum revolutions, and
finally at normal working speed).
ATTENTION: Remove any debris from all
rotating parts.
Fig. 5
2.) Engine Sump - Fig. 6
Stop the engine and leave it for at least ten min-
utes to let the oil deposit in the engine sump.
Using the dipstick (1), check that the oil level is
between the minimum (ADD) and maximum
(FULL) marks.
If required, top up at the filler cap (2).
NOTE: Keep the engine compartment clean,
particularly the area around the turbo-
charger. Dust, diesel oil and straw deposits
are highly flammable. 2

Fig. 6
3.) Radiator and Expansion Tank - Fig. 7
Check that the fluid level is 10 cm below the top 1
edge of the expansion tank (1). This level cor-
responds to the centre of the level check pipe
(2).
ATTENTION: Never start the engine without
fluid in the cooling system. The machine is
delivered with the circuit filled with Anti Freeze 2
(50% water), which protects the system to
-35 °C.

Fig. 8
5.) Prefilter/Water Separator - Fig. 9

When working in wet areas, it is recommended
that water is drained at least twice a day.
NOTE: Water generates when air inside the
diesel oil tank condenses. To avoid this prob-
lem it is necessary to refill the tank at the end of
the day's work.
Drain condensate by loosening the valve (1)
until fuel escapes without water.
Do not let the fuel percolate into the ground,
rather collect it in a suitable container.
NOTE: Use a suitable container to collect the
fluid escaping from the filter. If fuel is spilled on
the machine, it should be wiped up immedi-
ately.

ately.
IMPORTANT: When the engine is running,

leaks at the prefilter are hard to detect due to
the vacuum in the filter. In case of leaks, air will
enter the fuel causing a reduction in engine
power.

SCHEDULED SERVICE INSPECTION - Sc EVERY 450 HOURS IN OPERATION
NOTE: In addition to the operations described,

your Dealer must carry out the operations listed
in the Dealer Service Schedule on page 4-29.
1
58.)Engine Sump Breather - Fig. 52
IMPORTANT: If the breather is bent or

clogged, the pressure in the engine sump may 2
increase, resulting in oil leaks.
To change the two filters inside the breather,

stop the engine and proceed as follows:
1) Remove the cover (1).
2) Remove the two filters inside the housing

(2). Fig. 52
3) Fit two new filters.
4) Refit the cover (1).
The filters must be replaced every year, even if

the machine has not reached 450 hours in
operation.
59.)Receiver-Dryer - Fig. 53
It is good practice to have the receiver-dryer

changed by skilled staff before the start of
each new season. In connection with this
change, check the oil level in the compressor
and recharge the air-conditioning system.
Use ISO 150 oil and R134a gas.
2,500g liquid is required when charging the cir-

cuit.
The receiver-dryer has several functions:
• Corrosion resistance
• Mechanical filtering action Fig. 53
• Electrolyte control
• Reduction of fluid acidity.

60.)Final Drive Housings - Fig. 54

Drain oil at the plug (3) and top up at the plug 2
(2); check the oil level at the plug (1).
Collect the waste oil in a suitable container and
do not let it percolate into the ground.
The required quantity is 5.5 litres for each final
drive. 1
Fig. 54
61.)Gearbox - Fig. 55
Drain oil at the plug (3); the magnet of this plug
must be cleaned whenever the oil is changed. 2
Collect the waste oil in a suitable container and
Top up at the plug (2) until the oil reaches the
correct level, corresponding to the screw (1).
The required quantity of oil is 12 litres. 1
Fig. 55
62.)Steering Ram Ball Joints - Fig. 56

It is good practice to check the condition of the
protection bellows on ball joints daily. If the bel-
lows are damaged and grease comes out, the
lifetime of the ball joints will be significantly
reduced.
Check the ball joint play at the scheduled inter-
vals. If, for any reason, the ball joints are dis-
mounted, they must be tightened by the follow-
ing torques:
• Tie rod ball joints - 180 Nm.
• Steering ram ball joints - 180 Nm.
Fig. 56

63.)Filter, Hydrostatic Transmission

Fig. 57 and Fig. 58
CAUTION: Change the hydrostatic oil fil-

¥ ter only when the hydrostatic system
has cooled down, and always wear rub-
ber gloves.
Proceed as follows:
1) Carefully clean the area around the filter (if
possible, with compressed air).
2) Remove the filter (1).
3) Oil the seal of the new filter and tighten it 1
firmly by hand, without using any tools.
4) Stop the flow of fuel to the engine by
removing the white cable (2) from the
injection pump.
5) Let the engine run at idle speed until the Fig. 57
low supply pressure indicator switches off.
ATTENTION: Do not continue the above oper-
ation for more 15 seconds; if necessary, repeat
it after approx. 10 seconds.
6) Refit the white cable (2) on the injection
pump.
7) Start the engine, let it run at lowest speed
for 5 minutes and stop it.
8) Check the oil level and check the filter for
leaks.
64.)Oil, Hydrostatic Transmission

Fig. 59 and Fig. 60
Drain the tank only when the oil has cooled off, 2
after removing the plug (1) from the hose
marked with the following decal.
Collect the waste oil in a suitable container and Fig. 58
Top up the tank at the plug (4) and check the oil
level at the sight glass (5). The level is correct
when the oil reaches 5 cm into the sight glass
(5) at ambient temperature.
Use Fendt Extra Hyd 68oil.
1
ATTENTION: Correct oil quality and proper
cleaning are extremely important for the opti-
mum operation and long life of the hydrostatic
system.
If oils other than the specified ones are used,
severe damage may occur to the whole sys-
tem, in which case the manufacturer disclaims
any liability and warranty.
Repeat the procedure described above for
replacement of filter (points 4 to 8).
Change into neutral gear, move the multifunc-
tion lever forward up to 1/4 of its travel, pull it
back to 0 and then move it backward by 1/4 of Fig. 59
its travel.

65.)Oil, Auxiliary Hydraulics - Fig. 60 and Fig.

61
NOTE: The line for draining the hydraulic oil 1 4
reservoir is marked with the following decal:
To change oil, proceed as follows:

1) Clean the plug (1) and surrounding area. 5
3
2) Drain oil from the hose (2), ensuring the oil
is not hot, but always wear rubber gloves.
Collect the oil in a suitable container and
3) Top up the tank and check the oil level at Fig. 60
the sight glass (3).
The oil level is correct when, at ambient
temperature, with the table lifting rams fully
retracted, the oil reaches 5 cm into the
sight glass (3).
Use Fendt Extra Hyd 68oil.
The whole system on this model contains 31
litres of oil, the tank alone holding 20 litres (nor-
2
mal level).
66.)Filter, Auxiliary Hydraulics Fig. 62

If the light and sound alarm for filter clogging on
the control panel switches on, the filter must be
changed prematurely. To change the filter, pro-
ceed as follows:
WARNING: Wear rubber gloves when

¥ changing the filter. Fig. 61
1) Clean the area around the filter thoroughly
(if possible by compressed air).
2) Loosen the four screws (1) and remove the
cover (2).

67.)Engine Diesel Oil Filters Fig. 63 – Fig. 65
CAUTION: Diesel oil spilled on hot sur-

¥ faces or electrical circuits may cause a
fire.
ATTENTION: Fuel quality and proper clean-
ing are extremely important to the engine
operation and lifetime. If low quality fuel
(with a sulphur content higher than 350
mg/kg) is used, the intervals for changing
oil and filter must be reduced by 50% (225 2
hours in operation).
Proceed as follows: 1
1) Stop the engine.
2) Block the engine supply circuit.
3) Enter the grain tank by the ladder (1) and
remove the hatch (2) to access the fuel fil- Fig. 63
ter (3).
4) Remove and dispose of the used filter.
5) Make sure the old seal has been com-
pletely removed from the filter support.
Remove residues, if any.
6) Lubricate the new filter seal with clean die-
sel oil.
ATTENTION: Do not fill the new filter with die-
sel oil before fitting it. The diesel oil could be
unfiltered and contain pollutants. Contami-
nated fuel increases the wear on engine com-
ponents.
7) Tighten the new filter until the seal bears
3
on the filter support, then turn the filter one
more turn (marks on the filter make this 5
operation easier).
ATTENTION: Due to the special requirements
of the injectors fitted on this type of engine, a Fig. 64
high-performance fuel filter must be used. Use
only genuine filters.
8) Open the engine supply circuit.
9) Fill the filter (3) operating the manual pump
(4) at least 40-50 times.
10) If necessary, complete the operation using
the pump (5).
11) Start the engine and check that the filters 4
are properly tightened, after a few minutes,
stop the engine and check for diesel oil
leaks.
IMPORTANT: The filters must be replaced
every year, even if the machine has not
reached 450 hours in operation.

68.)Engine Oil Change and
69.)Engine Oil Filter Change Fig. 66 – Fig. 68
WARNING: For safety reasons, never

¥ carry out these operations when the oil
is hot. In any case, protect your hands
with rubber gloves.
IMPORTANT: Change the filter whenever
the oil is changed. If low quality fuel (with a 1
sulphur content of more than 350 mg/kg) is
used, the intervals for changing oil and filter
must be reduced by 50% (225 hours in oper-
ation).
To carry out this operation (with warm oil), pro-
ceed as follows:
Fig. 66
1) Remove the plug (1) from the engine oil

drain hose marked with the decal shown in
Fig. 66.
WARNING: Do not dispose of oil in the

¥ environment, rather collect it in a suita-
ble container.
2) To gain access to the filter (2), lift the
engine cover.
3) Carefully clean the area around the filter,
loosen it and check that the whole seal is
on the filter; remove any seal traces that
may still stick to the support.
4) Oil the seal of the new filter and tighten it
firmly by hand, without using any tools. 2
Fig. 67
5) Refit the plug (1) on the engine oil drain

hose. 3
6) Pour oil into the engine through the filler
(3) and check the level at the dipstick (4).
7) Start the engine and check for oil leakages
at the filter, then switch off the engine and
top up with oil.
Use Fendt Extra Grade 15W-40oil.

5.5 TYRES
Tyre pressure
Fig. 37 and Fig. 38
To ensure optimum reliability of the tyres, the

instructions below must be observed.
Apply the prescribed pressure both in traction

wheels (1) and rear wheels (2). Please refer to the
table on page 9-2.
The pressure should not be lower than prescribed,

as this may result in:
• Tyre damage 1
Fig. 37
• Bead wear
• Inner damage
• Irregular wear and short life.
Do not inflate the tyres excessively to avoid increas-

ing the sensitivity to damage by bumps. Under
extreme conditions, the rim may be deformed or the
tyre may burst.
Check tyre pressure at least every 150 operating

hours. Before checking, ensure that the tyres are 2
cold.
The tyres can be considered cold when they are left Fig. 38
for at least an hour or if they have not run more than
two kilometres. When the tyre is used, the pressure
increases due to heating.
Never reduce the pressure when the tyres are hot.
When checking the tyres, keep clear of the valves.

5.6 BRAKES
SERVICE BRAKES - Fig. 44

Hydraulic brakes are self-adjusting. The brake pads 1
must be replaced when worn.
To change oil, bleed the circuit or replace the brake
pads (1); contact your Dealer.
CAUTION:
¥
a) In case of leaks in the braking system or
malfunction, contact your Dealer.
b) Brake fluid tends to absorb moisture,
eventually becoming less efficient. There-
fore, the fluid must be changed every two
years. Since brake fluid contains sub-
stances that would cause recycling prob-
lems when mixed with engine oil or other
oils, it is recommended not to mix these
oils, rather to collect them separately.
c) Brake master cylinder seals contain fluor- Fig. 44
oelastomers, which are quite safe under
normal conditions. However, if exposed to
temperatures above 315 °C, they will not
burn but dissolve.
In this case, an extremely corrosive acid
will be generated, which is almost impossi-
ble to remove upon contact with the skin.
PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT -

To check and adjust the toe-in, proceed as follows:
1.) Apply the handbrake and lift the rear axle, so

that the wheels are clear of the ground.
2.) Align the rear wheels using the steering wheel,

so that the measurement C is equal to meas-
urement D.
Fig. 47
3.) Place two rods on the outside of the two tyres,
in the central line.
4.) Measurement A between the tyres must be

5mm less than measurement B, measured at a
distance of 1000 mm behind the tyres. If neces-
sary, adjust the tie rod (1).
CAUTION: Use suitable supports firmly

¥ fixed under the rear end of the machine,
when adjusting the toe-in.
STEERING RAM BALL JOINTS

Fig. 48
Check the steering ram ball joint clearance every

450 hours in operation. If for some reason the joints
have been disassembled, the nut tightening torque
must be:
• Tie rod ball joints - 180 Nm.
• Steering ram ball joints - 180 Nm.
The width of the adjustable axle is variable (P1 or

P2), depending on the position of the telescopic
links in relation to the fixed central part.
The width to be set depends on the type of front

tyres used (see page 9-2).
Fig. 48
The rear tyres must be aligned with the front tyres.
At a full steering deflection of the wheels a clear-

ance must be left between wheel and machine
frame.

Before filling the tank, carefully remove any trace of
dust or chaff from the area around the plug (1).
Clean the inside of the plug (1) using compressed
air, to ensure correct bleeding.
IMPORTANT: Air enters the fuel tank via the filler
plug. If the plug has to be replaced, be sure to
replace it with a genuine plug.
For filling the tank, use a funnel with a fine-meshed
filter.
It is advisable to fill the tank in the evening to pre- 2
vent any condensate build-up during the night.
To drain the prefilter condensate, loosen the valve
Fig. 52
(2) every 10 working hours or even before, if the
engine output is reduced.
IMPORTANT: The quality of the fuel is extremely
important for optimum performance and to ensure
long lifetime of the engine. Since many problems
with the engine may be caused by contaminated
fuel, it is important to use clean and correctly stored
fuel. It is advisable to always use fuels complying
with the specifications of the EN 590 standard; in
any case, the sulphur content must be lower than
350 mg/kg.
CAUTION: Handle fuel with care. Never

The direction of the light beam can be adjusted
manually.
The combine can be fitted with a tank full sensor as
an option.
The sensor (2) is activated by the force on its exter-
nal diaphragm when the crop in the tank
approaches the maximum level.

When the circuit is closed, an indicator light
and a buzzer are activated in the cab.

At the same time, the front rotating yellow beacons

a voltmeter or a densimeter.
2.) If the engine is difficult to start, do not keep the

ignition key in starting position for more than 20
seconds, rather try again after a few seconds.
3.) Battery terminals must be regularly cleaned

and coated by a film of acid-proof grease or
industrial vaseline to prevent corrosion.

5.) The battery must not be disconnected while the

engine is running, as this could cause severe
damage to the alternator.
6.) To ensure long life of the battery, switch off all 2

lights before starting the engine.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
BALLAST WEIGHTS - Fig. 16 – Fig. 18

Additional ballast weights must be fitted to balance
the weight distribution when using heavy tables, for
example maize headers.
For road transport, regulations prescribe that at
it is recommended that at least 20 % of the total
machine weight is resting on the rear axle (table
attached, empty grain tank).
When the combine is operating in the field, it is
recommended that at least 15 % of the total
machine weight is resting on the rear axle (table
attached, empty grain tank).
Please see description on page page 1-43.
DANGER: Failure to install the ballast

¥ weights on the rear axle when using heavy
tables may cause lack of combine stability, Fig. 16
with risk of serious injury or even death.
Depending on conditions, different ballast types can

be fitted:
• Ballast weights on rear tyres (Fig. 16). These
are round ballast weights, inserted in the rim;
they may be single or double.
• Ballast weights on rear axle (Fig. 17).
Plate-type ballast weights can be arranged on
the support (1).
• Ballast weights in straw walker hood (Fig. 18),
for machines without straw chopper. They are 1
box-type ballast weights, to be placed inside a
suitable support.
NOTE: For the countries permitting it, part of the
ballast may be provided by "water" inflation as sug-
gested by the tyre manufacturers.

¥ rear axle using a stand with a carrying
capacity of at least 2500 kg.
• Loosen the inner element of the valve and wait

until the tyre deflates completely.
NOTE: If a new tyre or rim is fitted, it is advisable to

partially inflate the tyre to ensure the tyre bead is
seated correctly in the rim.
• Tighten the fitting No. 327700400 on the valve

housing and connect the water hose to the fit-
ting (1). Be sure to remove this hose to drain air
while the tyre inflates.
• The tyre is 75% filled when water escapes from

the fitting (1). If less water is required, i.e. if a
lighter weight should be added, move the
wheel to place the valve in a lower position.
• Remove the fitting (1), retighten the tyre valve

and inflate with air to the prescribed pressure.
WARNING: The pressure of the added

¥ water may never exceed 4 bar (kg/cm2). 75%
To drain the tyres:
• Lift the wheel from the ground and place the
valve in the lowest position.
• Loosen the sealing element in the valve hous-

ing and drain the water.
• Tighten the fitting No. 327700450 on the valve Fig. 20
