New Holland CX720, CX740, CX760, CX780, CX820, CX840, CX860, CX880. Operator's Manual

GENERAL

This manual has been prepared to assist you in the correct procedure for running in, driving, operating, adjusting

and maintaining your new machine.

This machine has been designed and built to give maximum performance, economy and ease of operation under

a wide variety of crops and conditions.

Prior to delivery, your machine was carefully inspected both at the factory and by your dealer to ensure that it

reaches you in optimum condition. To maintain this condition and ensure trouble-free operation it is important

that routine services, as specified in this manual, are carried out at the recommended intervals.

Before attempting to drive or operate your machine, read this manual carefully (especially the chapter covering

the Safety Precautions) and keep it in a convenient place for future reference.

’’Left” and ’’right” used throughout this manual are determined from the rear, facing in the direction of travel of

the machine during operation.

If at any time you require advice concerning your machine, do not hesitate to contact your authorised dealer.

He has factory-trained personnel, genuine service parts and the necessary equipment to carry out your service

requirements.

IMPORTANT:

This machine has been designed and built according to the European Directive 98/37/EC.

Always use genuine New Holland Service parts or parts matching at least the same quality, reliability and

functionality as the equivalent original Service Parts when servicing and repairing your machine and do not

modify your machine without a written permission of the manufacturer. Failure to do so will void the responsibility

of the manufacturer.

An EC Declaration of Confirmity is separately delivered with your machine.

Store this EC Declaration into the storage space for your Operator’s Manual

(refer to section 2 - Controls, Instruments and Operation).

The maximum road speed of your machine is limited electronically. Do not try to change it.

Check local road legislation before driving the machine on public roads.

When operating interchangeable New Holland built equipment, ensure the equipment is CE approved.

As this publication is distributed throughout our international network, the equipment illustrated, either as

standard or as an accessory, may vary according to the country in which the equipment is to be used. Low cost

configurations, as chosen by the customer, may deviate from the specifications given.

Several figures in this manual show the safety guarding or the additional guards, legally required by certain

countries, open or removed to illustrate better a particular feature or adjustment. The machine must not be used

in this condition. For your own safety, ensure that all guards are closed or replaced before operating the machine.

OWNER ASSISTANCE

We at New Holland and your New Holland dealer want you to be completely satisfied with your investment.

Normally your dealer’s Service Department will handle any problems with your equipment. Sometimes, however,

misunderstanding can occur. If your problem has not been handled to your satisfaction, we suggest contacting

the owner or General Manager of the dealership, explaining the problem, and requesting assistance. When

additional assistance is needed, your dealer has direct access to our branch office.

COMPANY POLICY

Company policy, which is one of continuous improvement, reserves the right to make changes in design and

specification at any time without notice and without obligation to modify units previously built.

All data given in this book is subject to production variations. Dimensions and weights are approximate only and

the illustrations do not necessarily show the machine in standard condition. For exact information about any

particular machine please consult your Dealer.

ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS

Your machine has been designed to operate in a wide variety of crops and conditions. Nevertheless additional

equipment may, in certain cases, be required to improve the machine performance. A list of this additional

equipment is given in the ’’Accessories” section in this manual.

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

Genuine New Holland parts and accessories have been specifically designed for New Holland machines.

We would like to point out that ’’nongenuine” parts and accessories have not been examined and released by

New Holland. The installation and/or use of such products could have negative effects upon the design

characteristics of your machine and thereby affect its safety. New Holland is not liable for any damage caused

by the use of ’’nongenuine” parts and accessories.

Rely on your authorised dealer to supply you with genuine New Holland parts only. These parts are covered by

our warranty and will give you the best performance.

When ordering service parts, always quote the model and serial number, as well as the year of manufacture

printed on the manufacturer’s identification plate (refer to chapter General Information).

LUBRICANTS

Your dealer sells a selection of specially formulated lubricants based on own engineering specifications.

Recommended lubricants for your machine are listed on the inside back cover of this manual.

WARRANTY

Your machine is warranted according to legal rights in your country and the contractual agreement with the selling

dealer. No warranty shall, however, apply if the machine has not been used, adjusted and maintained according

to the instructions given in this Operator’s Manual.

It is prohibited to carry out any modifications to the machine unless specifically authorised, in writing, by a New

Holland representative.

CLEANING YOUR MACHINE

Your machine is a state-of-the-art machine with sophisticated, electronic controls. Even though every precaution

has been taken to safeguard electronic components and connections, the pressure generated by some pressure

washers is such that complete protection against water ingress cannot be guaranteed.

When using a high pressure washer, do not stand too close to the machine and avoid directing the jet at electronic

components, electrical connections, breathers, seals, filler caps, etc.

IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Soil, air and water are vital factors of agriculture and of life in general. Where legislation does not yet rule the

treatment of some of the substances, which are required by advanced technology, common sense should govern

the use and the disposal of the products of a chemical and a petrochemical nature.

The following are recommendations, which may be of assistance:

Become acquainted with and respect the relative legislation applicable in your country.

Where no legislation exists, obtain information from suppliers of oils, fuels, antifreeze, cleaning agents, etc. for

their effect on man and nature and for safe ways of storage, usage and disposal. Agricultural consultants will,

in many cases, be able to help you as well.

HELPFUL HINTS

Avoid filling fuel tanks using jerrycans or inappropriate pressurized fuel delivery systems which may cause

considerable spillage.

In general, avoid skin contact with all oils, acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain substances which can be

harmful to your health.

Use biodegradable oils for chain lubrication where oils cannot be recuperated. In many countries rapeseed oils

or other agro-based lubricants have become available.

Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contaminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating systems.

Avoid spillage when draining off used engine coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic oils, brake fluids,

etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids, fuels or coolant mixtures with lubricants. Store them safely until they can

be disposed of in a proper way to comply with local legislation and available resources. They should not be

allowed to get into the soil but should be collected and disposed of safely.

Do not open the air-conditioning system yourself; it contains gases, which should not be released into the air.

Your dealer has a special extractor for this purpose and will have to do the recharging of the system anyway.

Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or the hydraulic system immediately.

Do not increase the pressure in a pressurized circuit as this may lead to bursting of the components.

Protect hoses during welding as penetrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them, causing the loss

of oils, coolant, etc.

Battery recycling

Batteries and electric accumulators contain various components which can damage the environment if they are

not properly recycled after usage. New Holland strongly recommends that you return all used batteries (starting

batteries and small ”dry” batteries which may be used in electric or electronic systems) to your New Holland

dealer who will ensure proper disposal or recycling. In certain countries this is a legal requirement.

SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY

INTENDED USE

The CX combine harvesters are designed as self

propelled units and powered by an onboard diesel

engine.

The machines are intended to be used for agricultural

purposes on cultivated land to harvest cereal crops,

small seed crops, maize, soy beans, etc., by cutting

or picking up from a swath, threshing and separating

the grain from the straw and temporarily storing it until

it is unloaded into vehicles for transport.

PROHIBITED USAGE

No parts or attachments should be fitted to this

machine, which have not been released by NEW

HOLLAND. They might affect machine operation,

safety of the user or other people, stability or wear

characteristics of the machine. They may also void

the homologation approval obtained for your country.

PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

The serial number of the combine, the engine and the

attachments can be found on the following locations:

SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY

General recommendations

Most farm machinery accidents can be avoided by

the observance of a few simple safety precautions.

1. The machine must only be used by a skilled oper-

ator familiar with all the controls and harvesting

techniques on cultivated land with slopes up to

maximum 26% (15_) uphill and downhill, and

maximum 36% (19_) sideways [provided good

even ground and sufficient tyre adherence condi-

tions exist].

2. Never permit anyone other than the operator to

ride on the combine.
