Electrical sensors

The Grain Tank Full Alarm

The grain tank is filled by the grain elevator, and an alarm sounds when it is full. The height of 

the alarm sensor can be adjusted by moving the sensor up and down. This will either advance 

or postpone the alarm.

When cleaning or servicing inside the grain tank, the engine must be off and the ignition key

removed to make sure the combine cannot be started

Elevator Speed Monitor (fig. E2)

Alarm limit is set on knob S2. The numbers on the scale refer to a hundred revolutions per 

minute. Alarm delay is set on knob S1. Green led light L1 is on when the relay is supplied

with electricity. Red led light L2 is on when the relay is alarming.

Recommended settings are the following:

S1 1s

S2 3=300 RPM

The speed sensor is located at elevator drive 

shaft behind upper part of the grain tank.

Distance a between the and the head of the 

screw on the sensor ring attached on the 

shaft shall be 1 - 1.5 mm. fig. E3

The alarm shall function when the threshing 

machinery clutch is engaged with the engine 

off and the ignition on.

The alarm shall also go off with the threshing 

machinery rotating when the throttle is 

adjusted below half the speed.

When engaging the threshing machinery, the alarm will be on for a time delay of 10 s although

the speed has reached the normal level.

Sensors of Electrical

Speedometers

The sensors of electrical speedometers 

(driving speed as well as fan and cylinder 

speeds) are located in the gearbox 

and at the ends of respective shafts. 

To guarantee the correct functioning of 

the sensor, make sure that distance a 

between the sensor and the pulse

disc (or the gear) is 1+/- 0.5 mm. (Fig. E3)

Make any necessary adjustments by 

turning the sensor fixing nuts. The sensor 

must not touch the rotating pulse disc. 

Maximum tightening torque 5 Nm.

Hydraulic

Both hydraulic circuits Working Hydraulic and Traction Hydraulic use the same oil tank and

filter. Check daily oil level by indicator hose E. Change the oil and filter every 600 hours or at 

least once a year, before the threshing period.

4-Wheel drive (Fig. 91a) on models equipped with it

The four-wheel drive uses the traction hydraulics pump and oil. There are no parts that would

require separate periodic servicing.

Changing the Oil in thew Hydraulics

Change the oil and filter every 600 h or at least once a year before the harvesting season.

This is done to remove any condensed water from the system. The oil is drained from the

system by unplugging drain D (fig. H1). Reserve large enough container for this as there is 

approx. 14 litres of oil. After draining the oil, replace the filter. First clean the area around the 

filter carefully.

Check, clean and oil, when necessary, the gasket surfaces of the filter before refitting.

Use only original filters to guarantee perfect transmission functions.

Used oil and filter are problem waste, which shall be handled in an appropriate manner.

Use an oil type in accordance with the oil table. Make sure the oil is free from any impurities.

Be sure to use a clean funnel.

After changing the oil, let the engine idle for approx. 15 min, during which time any hydraulics

must not be used. During this time the oil circulates through the filter several times, and any

impurities in the oil are filtered off. Monitor the oil level and check for any leaks in the filter.

To bleed the system, turn the steering wheel, while the engine is running, from one extreme

position to another and repeat a few times. So doing, observe the oil level in the oil tank and

add oil if necessary.
