    CEBIS Keys CEBIS Using the CEBIS rotary switch (1) the combine settings can be adjusted. The picture below shows the operating settings that can be adjusted. To navigate through the settings turn the CEBIS rotary switch (1). Inside the CEBIS display there are 2 large numbers, the top number (7) shows the desired value and the lower number (8) shows the actual value.
  • Page 14 HOTKEY HOTKEY The HOTKEY (2) is used to adjust the more frequently changing settings on the Combine for example straw chopper or LASER PILOT bias. To adjust any of the HOTKEY values turn the rotary switch (2) and the HOTKEY dial will appear on CEBIS which is shown in the picture below.

  • Page 18 CEBIS Calibration To allow the machine to display accurate information certain parameters need to be ‘learnt’ either on a daily or seasonal basis. Daily zeroing This should be carried out with the machine running with threshing engaged at maximum no load speed. The following items should be zeroed on a daily basis.
  • Page 19 If a problem occurs involving the AUTO CONTOUR response, always try learning the cutting height limits before contacting the service department of your preferred CLAAS dealer. Working Position Don’t forget to learn the working position of the cutterbar within CEBIS to avoid inaccurate yield measurements.

  • Page 20: Cutterbar

    Lifters It is recommended that lifters should be fitted to CLAAS cutterbars. The lifters should be fitted by placing the first one on the fifth finger from the RHS of the cutterbar and then on every fourth one thereafter.
  • Page 21 Cutterbar Adjustments Knife Check that the knife is in good condition in order for it to work effectively. This involves replacing damaged or broken sections, removing vertical movement by adjusting the keeps, and making sure that the fingers are not rounded or bent. Regular checks/adjustments will aid cleaner cutting and reduced stress on the knife drive system.
  • Page 22 Cutterbar Adjustments 2. Check the height of the auger within the trough of the cutterbar. There should be a minimum gap of 20mm between the trough and the auger flights. 3. Remove the intermediate retractable fingers along the length of the auger leaving just the middle ones.
  • Page 23 Side Knife/Divider Installations Both the side knife and the divider use the new fork locating and locking device (2). Simply slide into the lock and ¼ turn the handle to lock in place (1). The side knife is easily attached with a simple twist lock turnbuckle.

  • Page 24: Threshing

    Threshing Hybrid To obtain initial settings it is recommended that the suggested settings in the Operators Manual are used, these are to only be used as a starting point, then adjustments should be made from there. Often changing one thing can change another. Only make one adjustment at a time.

Often changing one thing can change another. Only make one adjustment at a time.
  • Page 26 Pre-Separation De-awning On the TUCANO 400 Series de-awning can be carried by out operating the lever (1), by the right hand front wheel of the machine into position A, which in turn installs a set of plates under the APS concave. This gives the crop an extra ‘rub’ which in turn threshes it harder.

  • Page 27: Separation

    Separation (Hybrid) It is important that the rotor speed is set correctly. The rotor separates the remaining grains from the straw and the rotor speed will have an effect on straw quality. If the rotor speed is too fast, broken straw and chaff is produced which could lead to overloading of the sieves.
  • Page 28 Separation (Walker) Straw curtain As the crop leaves the beater a straw retarding curtain is fitted to control the throw of the material on the walkers. A handle on the LHS of the machine body allows the angle of this to be altered. In normal conditions it should be left to hang freely but in damp conditions it may be a benefit to raise the curtain slightly to allow the material to remain loose and ensure an easier passage through the machine.

  • Page 29: Cleaning

    Cleaning Preparation pan The preparation pan is the first part of the cleaning system that the grain will come into contact with. It’s function is to separate the grain and the chaff. The grain is heavier and therefore goes to the bottom, the lighter chaff goes to the top. It is important that this is kept clean, to allow this to happen effectively.
  • Page 30 Cleaning Sieves On machines with manual sieve adjustment the sieve adjustment can be made at the back of the sieves by operating levers. To close the sieves the levers needs moving to the right, to open the sieves the levers need moving to the left. On machines with electronic sieve adjustment, both the top and bottom sieves are adjustable from 0 –...

    Straw and Chaff Management Chaff spreader The chaff spreader is situated at the back of the top sieve. The angle of the spreader can be adjusted to alter the spread width of the chaff spreader. Straw chopper 1. To move from chopping to rowing up, make sure that the engine is switched off and the chopper has stopped turning.

  • Page 36: Maintenance

    Maintenance A full maintenance schedule is provided in the relevant section of the operators book and this should be followed to ensure reliable operation of the combine. When checking belt tensions there are three main types of tensioner that are fitted to TUCANO Combines: 1.

  • Page 37: Wet Harvest Recommendations

    Wet Harvest Recommendations With wet and laid crops, it is even more important to get a good cut and feed into the combine. Check the knife and fingers regularly, paying particular attention to the knife to finger gap (keep adjustment). To allow the cutterbar close to the ground when picking up laid crops, the skids under the bar must be raised into their highest position.
  • Page 38 Wet Harvest Recommendations Some dirt can usually be removed from both the cross auger covers, and the bottom covers on both the clean grain and returns elevators. When unloading wet grain, reduce the flow into the unloading auger by shutting down the slides on the cross auger in the grain tank. This will reduce the load on the unloading system, bringing it down to a ‘normal’...
