•  Run the engine min. 10 minutes to allow 

the protective fuel to reach the injectors.

•  Seal the exhaust pipe, inlet opening of 

the air filter and the vent duct with e.g. 

adhesive tape or plastic film.

•  Disconnect the battery, the minus pole 

first, wash the outside with warm water 

and take it to a dry cool storing place 

(temperature +0 to 5 degrees centigrade).

•  Observe the instructions for recharging 

the battery.

•  Clean the cable lugs and apply grease to 

them.

It is not necessary to remove or loosen the V

belts for winter. Connect the driving belts of

the threshing machinery and cutting table but

remember to disconnect the threshing 

machinery

when starting the engine the next time.

After-storage Attention:

•  Remove the plastic covers of the engine 

openings.

•  Fit a new air filter.

•  Fasten the fully-charged battery, the plus 

pole first.

•  Check the coolant level.

•  Check the engine oil level.

•  Check the hydraulic oil level.

•  Check the gear box oil level.

•  Check the belt and chain tensions.

•  Check that there are no foreign objects 

inside the combine.

•  Check the rotation of the rotor knives of 

the cutter.

•  Turn by hand the coolant pump by the fan 

to loosen a possibly stuck sealing.

•  Open the bottom plug of the fuel tank 

a little and drain the water possibly 

condensed on the tank bottom.

•  Start the engine and let it run at fast idling 

speed for about 3 minutes.

•  Watch the oil pressure and alternator 

warning lights.

•  Check to see that there are no coolant, oil 

or fuel leaks.

•  Carefully connect the threshing 

mechanism.

•  Raise the RPM to normal level, observing 

the function of the threshing machinery.

•  Stop the threshing machinery and the 

engine and close all doors.

•  Change the traction hydraulic oil and filter.

•  Set the threshing adjustments for the first

Conversion for corn harvesting

For to harvest corn the combine can be equipped with 2-row corn header. Also some other

modifications have to be done for preparing the combine suitable for corn harvesting.

•  assemble a special 2-row corn header

•  make sure that wide space, heavy wire concave have been fitted

•  assemble filler plates to cylinder between rasp bars

•  change the canvas located behind rear beater to long one

•  assemble rear weigh to the tail of straw hood and put some 150 kg in it.

Assembling the corn header

•  The corn header is assembled by removing the wheat table from the feed conveyor and 

replacing it with the corn header.

•  Remove header / feed elevator from the combine. Support feeder elevator safely.

•  Replace the pulley assembled to left end of upper shaft of feed conveyor with the sprocket 

delivered with the corn header.

•  Replace belt idler pulley with the sprocket idler delivered with the header. Check that idled 

and the driver sprocket assembled to upper shaft are in line with the driven sprocket.

•  Assemble drive chain (145x3/4” ASA) delivered with the header. Lubricate the chain.

•  Assemble chain guard delivered with corn conversion kit.

•  Assemble header / feeder elevator to the combine. Note that the swinging plate at upper 

end of the bottom of feed conveyor goes above the front of concave.

•  Adjust the bottom of feeder elevator to lowest position.

•  Plug the oil hose removed from reel lifting line to prevent oil leakage.

Changing the concave

The concave is changed when feed conveyor have been removed.

Remove the extension of concave and let it on straw walkers.

Remove canvas assembled between front end of the grain pan an front end of the concave.

Remove rear connecting bolts of concave.

Loosen the nut of the right end of concave front support bar.

Remove pin of the left end of concave front support bar.

Pull the bar out to the right. (Two person are needed for this)

Assemble opposite order.

Assembling of cylinder filler plates.

Cylinder filler bars are needed for preventing

corn cobs travelling between bars.

They are assembled when feed conveyor is

dismounted.

In the corn conversion kit there are six

similar plates (B) and one different. Different

one is assembled at the top of the access

door of the cylinder. Mounting blots (C) have

been mounted the cylinder.

Max. speed 700 RPM can be used when filler

plates have been assembled.

- 90 -

300…700 rpm cylinder

speed range

For cylinder speed under 400RPM a special

Low Speed Kit can be assembled. In this

case Pulley A on rear beater shaft and 

cylinder drive belt have to be replaced with 

new type parts. See Fig 93.

Part number for Low Speed Kit is R692873.
