Use Of The Combine - MASSEY FERGUSON MF 7345 S Workshop Service Manual

2.3 Use of the combine

These 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.
Machine performance may be limited by various factors such as harvesting speed, weather conditions,
ground characteristics and the type and degree of ripeness of the crop.
When operating the machine, make sure the cab doors are shut. The operator and instructor (or trainee), if
present, must remain seated in their respective seats with their seatbelts fastened (the operator should
not drive the machine when standing).
The machines must be operated only by skilled operators who know all the machine's functions and
harvesting techniques.
If the ground is uniform and the tires offer sufficient grip, the machine stability is ensured on the following
inclinations:
• Models X5AS – X5BS – X6AS – X6BS
- 20% (11°) longitudinally (uphill and downhill).
- 20% (11°) crosswise.
• Models X5BS AL and X6BS AL
- 30% (18°) longitudinally (uphill and downhill).
- 30% (18°) crosswise.
Models X5AS – X5BS – X6AS – X6BS
These models are designed for working on level ground to ensure even distribution of the crop inside the
machine. These models HAVE NOT been developed for working on sloping ground.
Models X5BS AL and X6BS AL
These models have been expressly designed for harvesting crops on hilly but firm ground.
The front levelling system ensures that the machine body remains perfectly horizontal up to a gradient of
20% (15% for machines not equipped with rear-wheel drive).
The system that varies the front track width operates correctly only when the machine is in motion.
Forbidden uses
Do not use the machine for tasks or purposes other than those specified in this Manual, on the safety
decals or on other safety information provided with the machine.
The following pages contain recommendations on correct and incorrect use of the machine when traveling
on public roads, during field operations and during maintenance.
Many machine functions relating to safety are managed by the software.
Do not try to modify or replace the software. You risk destroying the machine's settings and the operating
logic.
Such tampering could lead to unpredictable and abnormal behavior, making it unsafe (for the operator(s)
and the machine).
Only your Dealer is authorized to intervene on the machine software.
The machine's maximum speed on the road is limited and controlled by the software. Do not try to change
it.
