    Service Maintenance When carrying out any service operation make sure that the correct procedures are followed. See operator’s manual chapter 9.1 for the complete service requirements. In CEBIS there is also a quick guide to the service requirements. Grease the appropriate grease points as per the operator’s manual, it is recommended to grease the rotor bearings every...
  • Page 22 Service Maintenance 1. End to end guides Correct tension is achieved when the ends of “D” are end to end. To tension the belt, slacken nut K from M and wind M in a clockwise direction until the ends of D meet then lock nuts M and K.
  • Page 23 Service Maintenance 4. Gauge rod type Under the correct tension the gauge 3, should be in line with the end of the spring. To tension slacken nut 4, tighten nut 2 until the gauge meets the end of the spring. Lock off nut 4.

  • Page 24: Settings

    Settings: 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 machine running with threshing engaged at maximum no load speed. The following items should be zeroed on a daily basis: 1.
  • Page 25 Settings: CEBIS Calibration 1. Learn the AUTOCONTOUR end stops at the start of the season. TIP. Learn the working position of the cutterbar within CEBIS. This may also need to be changed when combining different crops. 2. At the start of each crop make sure you have selected the correct crop type, or your personal crop settings.
  • Page 26 Set the height the same as the stubble. 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 27 Settings: Cutterbar Check that the knife is in good condition in order for it to work effectively. This involves replacing damaged or broken sections. TIP. Remove any knife play by adjusting the keeps, and make sure that the fingers are not rounded or bent. A cleaner cutting knife will reduce stress on the knife drive.
  • Page 28 Settings: Cutterbar Adjustments TIP. 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. TIP. Remove the intermediate retractable fingers along the length of the auger leaving just the middle ones.
  • Page 29 Settings: Side Knife/Divider Both the side knife and the divider use the new fork locating and locking device. For the side knife simply slide into the lock and turn the handle to lock in place. Make sure the lever has locked into the locking device.
  • Page 30 Settings: Pre-Separation De-awning On machines with APS, de- awning can be carried by out op- erating the lever by the right hand front wheel of the machine, which in turn closes or opens a set of plates under the APS concave. This gives the crop an extra ‘rub’...
  • Page 31 Settings: Threshing To obtain initial settings it is recommended that the ‘CLAAS settings’ are loaded through CEBIS, these are to only be used as a starting point, then adjustments should be made from there. TIP. Only make one adjustment at a time.
  • Page 32 Settings: Separation The preparation pan (1) is the first part of the cleaning system that the grain will come into contact with. Its 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.
  • Page 33 Settings: Cleaning The fan speed is shown on the CEBIS screen. The speed range of the fan is 750rpm – 1600rpm. With the standard cleaning on the TUCANO machines there are two other adjustments. • The wind board • The wind throttle TIP.
  • Page 34 Settings: Grain Tank 1. Increase fan speed Pieces of straw 2. Open concave 3. Reduce drum speed 4. Close both sieves 1. Close the lower sieve Unthreshed heads 2. Increase the drum speed 3. Close the concave Broken grains 1. Reduce the drum speed 1.

  • Page 36: Losses

    Losses When deciding what to adjust on the combine to reduce the amount of loss it is important to understand where the loss is coming from and what is acceptable. At the front of the machine - • Is the loss happening before or after the cutterbar? •...
  • Page 37 Losses Where are the losses coming from? To work out what is coming from the rotors engage the chaff spreader and carry out a check behind the combine, count the grains on the floor. To check the losses from the sieves disengage the chaff spreader and engage the chopper and spread this as wide as possible and then count the...

  • Page 39: Easy Steering

    EASY: Steering To activate LASER PILOT make sure it is turned on in CEBIS (1) and that LASER PILOT is selected (2). Line up with the crop edge before pressing the AUTOPILOT buttonon the joystick. To set up the LASER PILOT, make sure the combine has a straight edge and is lined up with the crop.

  • Page 40: Frequent Questions

    Frequent Questions Threshing won’t engage and none of the hydraulics are working. Check that the road travel switch is not engaged. Threshing has engaged but the engine will not go to full rpm when the engine speed dial is turned. Check that the combine is not in 3rd gear.

  • Page 41: Wet Harvest Recommendations

    Wet Harvest Recommendations In 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. To pick up laid crops The skids under the bar must be raised into their highest position.
  • Page 42 Wet Harvest Recommendations When unloading wet grain Reduce the flow into the unloading auger by shutting down the slides on both the cross augers in the grain tank. This will reduce the load on the unloading system, bringing it down to a ‘normal’ level. If wet and dirty grain is being unloaded It is also likely that dirt will build up in the turret auger.

  • Page 43: Recommendations

    Recommendations Seasonal calibration At the beginning of the season before the combine is used, it is advised that the following items are learnt: 1.Learn AUTOCONTOUR limits (1), VARIO (2) and reel (3) ‘end stops’ in the cutterbar section of CEBIS. 2.With threshing and cutterbar engaged and the machine running at full throttle, learn the...
