GENERAL
ADVICE
Only regular meticulous maintenance can guarantee the
correct operation of your tractor. Follow all the instructions
given in this manual.
CLAAS declines all responsibility if maintenance instructions
are not followed.
GENERAL CLEANING
Generally clean and inspect, in detail, the tractor whenever
necessary. This will enable incipient problems to be detected
and inconvenient incidents avoided.
Important: Never spray cold water onto the injector pump
with the engine running: The hydraulic head may seize
up.
HIGH-PRESSURE CLEANING SYSTEMS
High-pressure cleaning systems are highly effective but,
when using them, always take care not to damage the lip
seals that protect the tractor's mechanical components. Also
avoid directly spraying electrical harness connectors.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The user may perform certain maintenance tasks that do not
require specific technical skills, in particular periodic
maintenance operations, provided that the frequency and
instructions in this manual are respected.
TOUCHING UP PAINTWORK
If bare metal can be seen, the paintwork should be touched
up to avoid corrosion. Your CLAAS agent can supply aerosol
cans to match the colour of your tractor.
WELDING
All forms of electric welding (spot or arc) can damage your
tractor's electrical and electronic equipment. You are
therefore strongly advised not to carry out any welding on the
tractor (or even on a tool coupled to the tractor).
Important: If electric welding is required on the tractor,
call your approved CLAAS agent.
FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS
- If the tractor suffers a failure.
- or a malfunction.
- or makes an abnormal noise.
call your CLAAS agent. He alone has the skills needed to
correctly repair your tractor. You should also contact him if
simple adjustments you carry out yourself do not give the
desired results.
DECREASE IN FLUID LEVEL
If the level of a fluid (oil, coolant etc.) decreases, top up as
described in the section "Maintenance Operation". If the
gauge remains in the red zone, or if the level drops again,
contact your CLAAS approved repairer.
QUANTITY AND TYPE OF OIL
For maintenance operations requiring an oil change (see
chapter "K").
GREASE QUALITY
For maintenance operations requiring greasing (see
chapter "K").
