INTRODUCTION :

The present Operator’s Manual applies to the CLAAS combine-harvesters DOMINATOR 208 MEGA from serial no. 94503000 DOMINATOR 204 MEGA from serial no. 93503000 It is primarily intended to give the machine driver information on setting, using and operating the machine.

• Texts and pictures apply, in general, to all combine models covered by this book, and the information given applies equally, except where reference is made to a particular model in captions to the pictures or in the main text. Operation and maintenance of important ancillary equipment is also covered by this manual.
• Please read the instructions which apply to the appropriate ancillary equipment on your combine. Provided you follow the advice on the care and servicing of your machine you will be rewarded with reliable and long service from your Combine Harvester. We recommend that you allow your authorized CLAAS Dealer to carry out the regular maintenance.
• Omissions of parts of the maintenance schedule or incorrect operation lead to a drop in performance and cost valuable time. By correct servicing and operation you can make full use of our sound experience and of the latest technical knowledge in Combine Harvesting with which your combine has been designed and thereby insure reliability of your Combine Harvester.

This Operator’s Manual can be ordered from your CLAAS Dealer as well as the manuals listed below:
• Threshing Instructions for special crops
• Fitting and Operating Instructions for ancillary equipment
