    SAFETY FOREWORD CLAAS Tractors are designed and built to give you optimum service over many years. They are designed to provide the most comfortable and safe working conditions. However, accidents can easily happen in agricultural work. It is important to know the dangers and how to avoid them.
  • Page 12 Carry a spare set of bulbs. Replace any defective element. Only fit genuine CLAAS parts. The CLAAS network is at your disposal for any parts or products required to keep your tractor in perfect working order.
  • Page 13 The cab must be removed only with CLAAS approved equipment. The CLAAS network is at your disposal for all this work. It has the approved special tooling, the skills required and genuine CLAAS parts. If you have any doubts at all, call in your CLAAS agent.
  • Page 14 AXLE STANDS If the tractor is to be placed on axle stands, always work on a flat, horizontal, hard surface. Check the axle stands are suitable for the load. For this operation, check the tractor's front and rear weights in chapter K.
  • Page 15 Maintenance - greasing: Always stop the engine. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Knowledge and skill are required to work on the electrical system. If the need arises (installation of miscellaneous accessories, radio etc.) contact your approved CLAAS repair agent. Moreover: • Always disconnect the battery negative terminal before working on the electrical system.
  • Page 16 ROAD USE - USE FOR TRANSPORT Always comply with THE LEGISLATION on the use of agricultural tractors on the road. If in doubt, consult the police or insurance companies. Whenever possible, avoid using busy roads. When transporting equipment on a public road, use the warning device required by the highway code.
  • Page 17 OPERATION GENERAL RULE As a general rule, always use equipment in good condition, suitable for the size of the tractor and the type of work. WHEEL TRACK Always use the maximum track compatible with the work in hand, to reduce the risks of overturning. ATTACHING IMPLEMENTS To hitch or unhitch an implement, place the gear lever in neutral and apply the hand brake.
  • Page 18 STATIONARY WORK If the tractor has to work in a fixed position (use of static implements), chock the tractor wheels, apply the hand brake and keep a constant watch on it. USE OF TOOLS DRIVEN BY THE PTO Do not wear loose clothing which could catch in moving parts.
  • Page 19 If you want to add equipment or functions not provided as standard or available as after-sales options, always contact your CLAAS agent. It is important to obtain his advice since it is forbidden to drill, weld or cut any of the...
  • Page 20 SAFETY STICKERS WITH WARNING PICTOGRAMS Warning stickers are placed at all the dangerous points on the machine (according to regulations in force in the country). The pictograms represented on these stickers are to warn about risks of injury, and they show the correct attitude to adopt to avoid injury and accidents.
  • Page 21 E - WARNING: This tractor must not travel at a speed greater than 30 km/h on public roads. WARNING: It is forbidden to transport a child under 13 years of age on farm machinery. F - WARNING: - This tractor's air conditioning is charged with freon R 134 A, which is a toxic gas when exposed to the open air.
  • Page 22 I - WARNING: Keep the linkage clear when you are using the external controls. J - Danger: Do not place the starter terminals in contact with a tool that conducts electricity (danger of sparks). K - Do not discard a worn battery but take it to a recycling collection point.

    REAR HITCH ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS INFLUENCE OF HITCH GEOMETRY ON LINKAGE CAPACITY The 3 point hitch allows the largest number of different implements to be hitched. You must identify the most appropriate hitch geometry for each application. To achieve this the following components can be adjusted: A - Top link (upper link attachment point with respect to the centre line of the wheels and the length of the link).
  • Page 108 TOP LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT - Hold the upper end of the rod. - Lift the adjusting handle (C) and turn the central body to adjust the length of the link. Check that the uncovered threaded lengths (D) are equal (maximum distance 5 mm). The centre-line distance (E) must not exceed 770 mm.
