ACCESS TO MACHINE COMPONENTS -- Figures 29 to 35

Access to operator’s platform

DANGER:

Never allow anyone to stand or hang on

the combine access ways while the com-

bine is in motion. These access ways are

only provided for entering and servicing

the (stopped) combine in a safe way.

42941

CAUTION:

S Always mount and leave the combine

in a safe way, i.e. use the steps and

guard rails provided and maintain a

3-point contact at all times.

S Pull up the ladder for road transport.

Brackets A (on both sides) are ad-

justed so that the ladder stands verti-

cal in the pulled-up position.

The ladder can pivot at B when the

combine is advancing or reversing

and the ladder contacts an obstacle.

The pivoting force is adjusted with

springs C. Spring length should be 63

mm.

42971

DANGER:

S Make sure bystanders cannot be hit

when lowering the ladder.

S Do not jump on the ladder when the

combine is advancing as the ladder

may pivot away.

Lowering the ladder to the engine platform with

the engine running will cause the engine to stop. It

is, however, possible to start the engine while the

ladder is in the lowered position.

IMPORTANT:

Be aware that, if the engine is running with the

ladder in the lowered position, the engine

protection is not working.

CAUTION:

Raise the ladder when travelling on pub-

43039

lic roads.

2-27

OPERATION

Check that both brake pedals are coupled to-

gether and that the parking brake is engaged.

Ensure the gearshift lever and the ground speed

control lever are in the neutral position.

Press the throttle switch into the bottom position

(i.e. minimum speed).

Insert the key into the ignition-and-stop switch

and turn the key clockwise to the ignition position.

Inspect engine oil pressure, hydrostatic oil pres-

sure and battery charge warning lights for proper

functioning.

NOTE:

The audible signal will sound (indicating park-

ing brake engaged).

Before starting the engine, warn bystanders by

sounding the horn several times.

Press the engine reset rocker switch 51 (bottom

position).

Turn the ignition key clockwise to engage the

starter motor.

42753

If the engine fails to start after 30 seconds, re-

lease the starter button for about 1 minute before

re-engaging the starter motor.

10. As soon as the engine starts, release the starter

switch.

ATTENTION :

S Allow the engine to run for one minute at low

idle before moving off, to ensure adequate

lubrication of the turbocharger bearings.

S If the audible alarm does not cease func-

tioning when the parking brake is disen-

gaged, or if the warning lights for the engine

do not extinguish after the first few seconds

of idling, stop the engine immediately and

contact your dealer for assistance.

let the engine run at idling speed for one minute.

2. Turn the key counterclockwise to stop the engine.

OPERATION

DRIVING THE COMBINE

CAUTION:

The combine rear end swings out when

changing direction. Take care when tak-

ing turns.

1. Ensure that the ground speed control lever is in

the neutral position.

2. Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear.

S For field operation, use first, second or third

gear, depending upon the circumstances.

S For manoeuvring in confined spaces, use first

gear.

S For road transport, use third or fourth gear.

3. Release the handbrake.

CAUTION:

Keep brake pedals depressed while re-

leasing the handbrake.

Ensure not to touch the hydrostatic lever

when releasing the handbrake.

Move the ground speed control lever slightly for-

ward from the neutral position to advance, or from

the neutral position rearwards to reverse.

NOTE:

When reversing the combine, an audible alarm

will automatically warn bystanders.

Familiarize yourself with the different steering

and driving characteristics.

IMPORTANT:

In case of hydrostatic control failure, the emer-

gency rocker switch B can be used. To move

forward pull the switch up. To reverse push the

switch down. Refer to item 23. However, use

this switch only if really necessary to drive the

42759

machine off the road.

SECTION 2

WARNING:

To prevent runaway of the combine (i.e.

when the ground speed increases during

downhill driving and it is impossible to

reduce speed with the ground speed con-

trol lever), it is necessary to shift into a

lower gear appropriate to the steepness

of the hill.

This information is also given on a decal

situated on plate A under the arm rest

50672

cover. See Figure 38.

All models, except TX67

CAUTION:

Never drive on public roads with any of

the mechanisms engaged.

The combine model TX67 is equipped with a remote

emergency and parking brake, and with a remote

gearshift system.

TX67

EMERGENCY AND PARKING BRAKE

The parking brake is operated by pressing button 23a

[symbol P] (Fig. 41). A control light and an audible

signal indicate the parking brake activation. The hy-

drostatic system will be disabled.

The emergency brake button has two positions:

S The first position brings the hydrostatic system

into neutral.

42765

S The second position (i.e. button fully pressed) op-

erates the friction brake.

2-31

OPERATION

WARNING:

Pressing the ‘‘P’’ button while driving the

combine will cause the combine to stop

abruptly (emergency stop).

CAUTION:

Do not press button P to actuate the

handbrake during road transport unless

it is required as an emergency stop!

After an emergency stop, bring the ground speed

control lever to neutral and release the brake by push-

ing button P to reset the system.

GEARSHIFTING SYSTEM

A five-button console (1--2--N--3--4) with indicator

lights indicates the selected gear.

Selecting a gear is only possible with the ground

speed control lever in neutral position. Press a button

to select a gear. The parking brake is automatically

engaged and the hydrostatic system will be disabled.

An indicator light will start to flash and comes on

steadily when the gearshifting is completed. The

parking brake will reset to its previous state and the

operator can take over hydrostatic control.

To attach the header to the combine, proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Position the combine to align the straw elevator

with the header aperture.

42765

2. Move the combine to position the straw elevator

against the header. Hook on the header, and

raise the straw elevator and header.

3. Attach the quick-attach lever 1 so that the hooks 2

are in full contact with pins 9. If not, adjust lever 1

with bolts 3 so that some resistance is felt when

engaging latch 4 over lever 1.

4. Connect header drive coupling 5. Use the special

tool 14 fitted to the right-hand side of the straw

elevator to bring the splines of the straw elevator
