Introduction
1.1 General Information
1.1.1 How to use this manual

• This operator’s manual is the original operator’s manual. In the following texts, it will be referred to simply as the operator’s manual. This operator’s manual is intended for all users and provides information on the use, operation, adjustment,

• maintenance, cleaning and transportation of the machine. Provided all instructions regarding proper maintenance and operation of your machine are followed, you can count on many years of reliable service. Failure to perform maintenance or
• incorrect operation lead to an increased safety risk, premature wear, a reduction in performance, loss of earnings and time. Have the post harvest check / annual check performed regularly by your CLAAS dealer. A combination of the prescribed

• maintenance work with the post harvest check is recommended. If you use the latest expertise and experience that went into this machine, it will render you consistently excellent service. There is a separate operator’s manual for front attachments and hitched devices.

General Information
2.1 Road traffic

• In addition to his driving licence, the operator must always carry the copy of the vehicle type approval registration issued by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (the German Federal Motor Vehicle Executive). A warning triangle and, on machines over 4 t permissible total weight, at least one wheel chock must always be carried on the combine. When driving on public roads
• with the combine harvester comply with all the requirements stated under letter C in the copy of the vehicle type approval registration (§ 18 Section 5 StVZO) issued by the Kraftfahrt- Bundesamt. On machines with excess width (width over the tyres), a vehicle type approval registration for individual vehicles (single expert opinion) and a special approval in accordance with § 70, Section 1, clauses 1 and 2 of the StVZO must be carried instead of the General Operating Permit.
• Furthermore, all the requirements stated in the vehicle type approval registration for individual vehicles and in the special approval must be observed. The issue of a special approval differs from country to country. The excess width must be marked in accordance with the regulations for marking of excess-width road vehicles (e.g. two marker boards at the front
• and the rear each, protective bar, two amber flashing warning beacons). If any part(s) of the combine harvester is/are subsequently modified whose condition is/are prescribed or the operation of which (after being modified) could represent a hazard to other road users, then the vehicle type approval registration shall no longer be valid and application must be
• made for a new vehicle type approval registration. In this case the machine must be presented to the motor vehicle safety inspection authority responsible (e.g. TÜV) in order to obtain an expert opinion certificate (§ 19 section 2 StVZO). If you are in any doubt as to whether this situation applies in your case, please contact us as manufacturers. If a transport vehicle for
• front attachments is towed behind the combine harvester, then the cable for the lighting system must be connected and the good condition of the lighting system assured. If the combine is equipped with a maize picker head or folding cutterbar, the regulations and requirements of the machine’s General Operating Permit must be observed, in particular the requirements concerning ballast weights and tyres.
