Lubrication

Do not lubricate while the engine is running. Remove the key and lock the parking brake

before starting lubricating. The cutting table and reel supports must be locked or lowered

when lubricating.

The table below gives recommended lubricants to be used in different temperatures. The

table also gives different types of air conditioning liquids, although they do not normally have

to be changed.

The combine leaves the factory filled with oil intended to be used in temperatures -10...+30°C

except with Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 in the traction hydraulic system. With refills it is advisable

to start using oil types intended for local temperatures.

If the combine is used in areas where only biologically decomposable hydraulic oils should

be used, the Manufacturer should be consulted about the choice of oil.

Correct lubrication is of major importance to the perfect functioning and long working life of

the combine, due to which the lubrication recommendations shall be followed carefully while

simultaneously monitoring if any place demands more lubrication.

All the lubricants shall be pure. Even slightest impurities may cause damage. Oil fillers and

nipples shall be wiped clean. The nipples are lubricated with grease in accordance with the

lubrication table. Apply machine or engine oil to places to be oiled.

The safety clutch and the variator pulleys must be lubricated carefully. Excessive lubrication

will cause unnecessary slipping of the clutches and damage to the belts, if lubricants come

into contact with the belts.

After lubrication the variator pulleys are adjusted with the threshing mechanism running

between different speed ranges, which will spread the lubricants evenly on the surfaces.

Summary of periodical
procedures

For precise instructions for adjusting and

maintenance of the engine, see the engine

manual.

Daily:

• Check the engine oil level.

• Clean the radiator and oil cooler of the

hydraulics, externally

• Check the radiator coolant level.

• Check the hydraulics oil level.

• Lubricate the points to be lubricated daily.

• Check the function of the alarm system.

• Check and clean the cabin air filter.

• Check the condition of chopper knives.

At intervals of 50 working hours:

externally.

• Check the gear box oil level.

• Check the knife condition.

• Check the concave basic setting.

• Check the condition of threshing cylinder,

straw walkers, shaker shoe, grain

conveyor and unloading auger

• Check the condition of power transmission

parts. (belts, chains. etc..)

• Check the brakes and adjust if necessary

• Check the condition of all lights, flasher,

emergency flasher, and reflectors

• Check the condition of protection guards

and doors

• Check the condition of steering system

and ball joints

• Check air pressure in tyres

At intervals of 300 working hours or

at least once a year:

• Check the procedures in the engine user’s

handbook

• Change the engine oil and filter.

• Change the engine air filters (both

elememts)

• Change the cabin air filter.

bearings.

• Lubricate the joints between brake pedals

and brakes (oil).

• Lubricate the gear lever joints (oil).

• Lubricate the reel connecting shaft.

• Lubricate the hub of fan variator (oil).

• Lubricate the upper fork bearing of feed

conveyor.

• Lubricate the engine rear sopport bearing

At intervals of 600 hours or at least

once a year:

• Change the gear box oil

• Change the hydraulic oil and filter (always

before harvesting season).

• Change the breather in the hydraulics.

• Lubricate the hinges and lock of cabin

door.

At intervals of 1200 hours or at least every

two year:

• Change the coolant of engine

Storing for winter

To guarantee the preservation and good

operation of the combine, correct service

before storing and winter storage are of

great importance.

The service before storing can be divided

into three parts, in the sequence of

performance:

cleaning, checking and protection.

A good place for winter storage of a combine

is a dry and roomy store or shed.

Cleaning:

• Remove all detachable guards, sieves, the

grain tank bottom augers and gather them

for washing.

• Dirt is efficiently removed from a dry

machine by compressed air.

• You may also use a high-pressure washer.

Use warm water as the combine will

quickly dry enough to be protected.

• To shorten the drying time, you may also

idle-run the threshing machinery.

• When washing with water, do not direct

the spray to the bearings as the packing

do not hold against a strong spray

of water. In normal seasons, it is not

necessary to wash the inner parts of the

combine with water; the work can be done

mechanically for instance by raking with

a suitable tool. Apply solvent on heavily

greasy spots before washing.

• Start cleaning from the top most parts of

the combine. Clean the radiator cells by

blowing from the direction of the wings.

Checking:

Take a pen and paper and write down all

shortages and necessary measures observed,

for instance in the following sequence:

• Condition of knives.

• Feeding fingers and bearings.

• Possible sliding damages and breaks of

the belts and if the remaining tightening

margin is sufficient.

• Condition of the cylinder and concave and

the correctness of their basic setting.

• Condition of the packing of the grain pan

and shaker shoe.

• Bearing clearances and fastenings.

• Wear and rust damages as well as flaws

and dents.

• Rotor knives and counter knives of the

cutter as well as the rotor bearings.

It is important to immediately repair the noted

defects before winter storage, performed by

yourself or a service shop, to ensure the

readiness

of function of the combine at the beginning

of the following harvesting season.

Protection:

Use pure engine oil or special protective oil,

as a protective, which can easily and quickly

be applied with a sprayer.

Places to be protected:

• Knife (oil)

• Draw-in fingers (oil )

• Worn paint (oil or paint)

• Connections of electrical equipment

(special protective substance for electric)

• Chains (oil); it is advisable that another

person then cranks the combine by hand

• Rotor knife links of the cutter. (oil)

After protection leave all cleaning doors open

to air the inside of the combine and prevent

the rodents from nesting in the inner parts of

the combine.

Storage of Ventilation and Air

Conditioning System:

Filters are cleaned or replaced with new

ones. Clean also air channels in the roof of

cab, heating and cooling radiator cores and

ventilator fans. In cleaning you may use e.g.

a vacuum cleaner. Clean also the condenser

core of air conditioning placed in engine

compartment.

If the combine engine is operated during

storage, the cooler should also be switched

on for a few minutes. This will reduce the risk

of leaking in compressor. For to get cooling

to operate in cold weather let the engine run

for half an hour to getting warm. Engage the

heating to max. effect for 30 min but keep

fan stopped. Start the fan lowest speed and

engage cooling to max. effect.
