INTRODUCTION :

This operating manual on the CLAAS DOMINATOR 68 S combine is primarily intended to give the machine operator information on setting, using and servicing the combine. Texts and pictures in this manual are general. Differences are indicated by picture legends or by notes in the text. Operation and maintenance of important auxiliary equipment is also covered in this manual.

• Please read the instructions which apply to the appropriate auxiliary 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. Through 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 ensure the reliability of your combine harvester.

Apart from this operating manual, the following manuals can also be ordered from your CLAAS dealer:
