Introduction
This quick reference guide has been produced to aid operators with
familiarisation and settings of CLAAS LEXION combine harvesters.
CLAAS combines are designed for output and efficiency but this can only be
achieved with correct operation and maintenance of the machine.
This guide is not designed to replace the Operators Manual but merely as a
reference document. More in depth information is available in the Operators
Manual.
ALWAYS READ THE OPERATORS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR COMBINE.
Down time costs output
To get the most from the machine, the wheels/tracks must be turning. In order to
keep downtime to a minimum, it’s vital that routine maintenance is not
neglected. As well as servicing the machine according to the operator’s manual, a
good check of the machine is essential.
It is false economy to put off the replacement of worn parts until they break. For
example, a cracked knife section will take 5 minutes to change before starting
work, but usually a minimum of 10 minutes output will be lost, once work has
begun.
Abbreviations
Throughout this guide the following abbreviations are used:
‘LHS’ and ‘RHS’ refer to the Left Hand Side and Right Hand Side of the machine
respectively, taken from the rear of the machine facing in the direction of travel.
APS – Accelerated Pre-Separation, refers to the accelerator drum in front of the
main drum.
