Stopping the Engine

For stopping the engine, move the throttle

into the idling position and turn the ignition

key into Stop position.

Do not have the ignition on for a longer

period unless the engine is running. The running

solenoid in the injection pump may overheat.

The ignition key may be turned left from

the STOP position by simultaneously pressing

the key downwards. This will connect the

current to the radio only.

Master Switch (Fig. 11)

Master Switch controls electricity for the

whole combine. There is a master switch

for the electrical equipment of the combine.

It is located on the left-hand side of the machine,

below the hydrostatic pump. The current is

connected in position 1. In position 2 the

current is switched off and the key can be

removed.

CAB (fig. K12) Fresh-air Fan Provides Good 

Ventilation

The 4-speed fan is started using switch A. To 

change the airflow direction, turn nozzles 1 at the 

front top of the cab. Air coming into the fan is taken 

through detachable coarse mesh and fine filters.

To keep up the fan capacity and to secure the purity of the air, the filters have to be cleaned daily 

and replaced often enough to prevent harmful impurities and fungi from clogging the filters. In dusty 

conditions it is necessary to clean the coarse mesh filter several times a day.

By opening nozzles 2, cab indoor air can be circulated through the fan, which reduces the need for 

outdoor air and thus reduces the risk of blocked filters.

The windscreen wiper is controlled by switch B.

Cover D can be removed and a radio set installed in the space.

HEATER Provides Additional Heat from the Engine

The air in the cab is heated by a heating element in which the engine coolant circulates. Turn switch 

E to the right to increase the amount of coolant circulating in the element. This will increase the 

temperature in the cab.

Open nozzles 2, fig. K12, to re-circulate the heated cab air. This will further increase the temperature in 

the cab.

AIR CONDITIONER Cools the Air in the Cab

The cab can be equipped with an air conditioner system. Turn switch C to the right to switch 

on and regulate the cooler. Open nozzles 2 to re-circulate the cooled cab air, which will further 

cool down the cab. Note! A difference of over 8

o

C between indoor and outdoor temperatures is 

harmful to your health.

Keep the cab door closed when the air-conditioning is on.

Stairs (fig 12c)

The stairs to the cab can be lifted up in which

position they will not damage the 

neighbouring plot. They are lifted (and 

lowered) with handle A in cab with door 

closed. Moving the stairs is light due to a gas 

spring.

In case the stairs are not lifted up while 

driving the combine, they shall be locked in 

their bottom position with locking latch B.

Towing (Figs. 13 and 14)

Towing the SR 2010 is allowed from 

designated points only. The combine may 

be towed from the points marked for that 

purpose. When towing forward, fasten a link 

round the front axle, Fig. 13.

To tow backward the towline round the rear

carrier, fig. 14. Do not fasten the wire round

the rear axle.

While the combine is being towed the driver

shall be in the cab and the engine running

to keep power steering working. The brake

pedals shall be latched together and gear on

neutral position.

Four-wheel drive shall be switched off.

In case it is impossible to start the

engine the towing have to be done

very carefully because in this case

steering is slow and heavy.

When towing on the road statutory traffic

regulation shall be followed.

Threshing equipment

Warning Lights (Fig. 15)

The alarm system of the combine indicates if:

A. Blockage in the grain elevator

B. Blockage in the bottom auger

D. Blockage in the chaff hood

F. Blockage in the air filter

G. Grain tank full

H. Unloading pipe unlocked

I. Engine overheated

J. Hand brake engaged

In case of alarm, light E on top of the 

instrument panel blinks and the light on 

signal panel K or L indicates the place 

concerned.

The grain tank full alarm can be switched off

by sounding the horn.

Straw Dividers (Fig. 16)

Straw dividers have to be adjusted. The 

straw dividers are fitted on both sides of 

the cutting table. Their height is adjusted by 

means of holey slide pieces D.

Adjust guide plates A to suit the threshing

conditions.

The side guide tube is attached to the

divider at the front and to the table side at

the rear.

Alternatively also bow-type of straw dividers

are available. Those can be used especially

when harvesting short straw crops.

Those dividers operates well also when 

harvesting

crops which are very difficult to divide like

turnip rape or flax.

Space Crop Lifters

correctly (Fig. 17)

The appropriate number of crop lifters for a

1.5 m table is four, for a 2.0 m table six.

Attach the crop lifters with the fixing screws

of the knife fingers as shown in the picture.

The lifters can be assembled to the place

where bolt hole is through the upper plate

of table.

The crop lifters operate best when the

minimum cutting height is 8 to 10 cm. It also

helps to avoid the stone to be picked up.

Reel settings (Figs. 18 and 19)

Reel has four adjustable settings Reel height 

is controlled by switch A, Fig. 18. Reel speed 

is controlled by switch B. Speed should only 

be changed when the reel is rotating. Fore 

and aft adjusting is controlled by switch C.

Adjusting of reel angles is done when screw 

D is slackened, Fig. 19. Especially when 

harvesting laid crops, it is good to adjust the 

tines to gather the crop efficiently. The reel 

is fitted with safety clutch E. It is advisable 

to check the function of the safety clutch at 

the beginning of each harvest season. See 

instructions under Maintenance.

Engage the safety stop F, Fig 19, before 

reaching below lifted reel

Cutting Knife in good 

condition!

There are no actual points to be adjusted in 

the knife during the threshing procedure.

In any case, see to it that the knife is in a 

perfect condition since good threshing result 

begins with the cutting capacity of the knife. 

For more precise service and adjusting 

instructions, see under Maintenance.

The spare knife is stored in a box on top of 

the cutting table.
