Attaching to a Type 498 Forage Harvester
with Variable Header Drive
Pickups for the Claas type 498 forage harvesters are
technically partially prepared for the variable header drive.
In addition, programming steps in the forage harvester
software are required, which must be coordinated
with Claas. To do this, contact your Claas dealer.
IMPORTANT: In order to use the variable header drive,
the A130FAM module must be programmed
for it. Otherwise, the pickup can only be
used with constant speed.
NOTE: From factory, the A130FAM module is empty.
The A130FAM module must be programmed via the
forage harvester. To do this, proceed as follows
1. Attach the pickup to the forage harvester.
2. Connect the forage harvester to a computer and start
the Claas Diagnostics System (CDS).
3. Select the A130FAM module for programming the
pickup.
4. When entering a serial number, enter a serial number
which is released by Claas.
IMPORTANT: Enter a serial number of a 3 m
HD Claas pickup.
5. Select variable header drive (if equipped on the forage
harvester).
6. Deactivate the "AUTO CONTOUR"-option.
