Towing a trailer
A trailer for front attachments may be towed in accord-
ance with the permissible trailed load.
If a trailer is towed behind the machine, then the cable
for the entire lighting system must be connected and
the good condition of the lighting system assured.
In addition, particular care should be taken to properly
latch the trailer hitch.
The towing of other trailers in the trailer hitch is not
permitted in self-propelled combine harvesters when
driving on public streets.
Licence plates
All CLAAS self-propelled working machines must be
marked with 3 speed signs at the longitudinal sides
and at the rear according to § 58 of the German Regu-
lations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road
Traffic.
As a self-propelled working machine with a maximum
speed of up to 20 km/h, the machine is only subject to
the operating permit. No official licence plate is
required.
According to § 4 FZV however, the machine must be
permanently fitted with the first and last name and the
place of residence (company and headquarters) of the
vehicle owner on the left side which must be clearly
legible.
As a self propelled working machine with an allowed
maximum speed of above 20 km/h, the machine is
subject to having an operating permit and to having
licence plates fitted.
The need of having licence plates fitted involved regu-
lar vehicle inspections by a technical inspection
agency (TUEV, DEKRA).
Warning beacons
When driving on public roads and lanes, the amber
warning beacons may be operated only if this is
expressly specified in the individual operating permit or
in the special approval (e.g. in case of excess-width
vehicles).
Work lights
Always switch off the work lights when driving on pub-
lic roads and lanes.
Folding front attachments
The subsequent fitting of folding front attachments will
void the individual operating permit of the machine and
its special approval.

1 Introduction
1.1 General Information
67077
To obtain a new individual operating permit, it is neces-
sary to present the machine to the responsible
technical inspection agency (TUEV, DEKRA) in order
to prepare an individual expert's opinion according to
§ 1 9 of the German Regulations Authorising the Use of
Vehicles for Road Traffic.
The new individual operating permit must be applied
for with the administration office in charge (registration
authority) by presenting the new individual expert's
opinion and the special approval.
To make the preparation of the individual expert's opin-
ion easier for the technical inspection agency, CLAAS
can prepare a sample expert's opinion, stating the
machine type, the serial no. and the year of construc-
tion upon request.
Especially the necessary weight increase on the rear
axle must be observed so that the machine will not
come off the ground when braking and its steering
capability is maintained.
When the necessary additional weights are missing,
the technical inspection agency will usually not pre-
pare an individual expert's opinion.
The above does not apply when the machine in ques-
tion is a new CLAAS self-propelled working machine
with a folding front attachment fitted and the technical
inspection agency has carried out acceptance at the
works.

1.1.5 Note on electronic engine management
Modern, powerful diesel engines such as those used
in CLAAS machines are equipped with an electronic
engine management. The engines as well as the elec-
tronic engine management are optimally matched to
the machine in question and the legal requirements in
force regarding the emission of noise and pollutants.
Every intervention into the engine management pro-
grammed by the manufacturer results in adverse
changes of the factory-set and optimum interplay of
engine and machine and in failure to comply with both
legal requirements regarding environmental proper-
ties and road traffic licensing regulations.
Any subsequent intervention into the electronic engine
management will usually void the Operating permit
and using the machine on public roads will be prohib-
ited. A fine may be imposed to the owner/user of a
machine that has been subsequently fiddled with.
Fiddling with the electronic engine management may
result in an increased risk from an insurance law point
of view, and consequently in loss of insurance cover in
comprehensive and liability insurance.
21
1 Introduction
1.1 General Information
67077
The manufacturer's warranty shall be excluded in case
of damage to the machine caused by subsequent
interventions. In case the machine was financed,
rented or leased, the forbidden intervention into the
engine management may constitute a violation of the
contract and may cause liability for damages.
CLAAS expressly dissociates from subsequent inter-
ventions into the electronic engine management of
CLAAS machines and urgently advises sales partners
and end customers not to carry out such interventions.
If sales partners participate in such interventions, they
may be liable for damage to the machine and any con-
sequential damage.

3.1.3 Intended use
The CLAAS combine harvester is designed exclusively
for professional use in line with the recognised regula-
tions of agricultural practices in agricultural harvesting
of grain.
The combine harvester is a self-propelled harvesting
machine with a fitted front attachment (machine),
which is approved by the manufacturer, and is suitable
and intended for harvesting grain in fields during
travel. Grain here refers to cultivated cereal and leg-
ume crops such as wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, rape
seed, maize, durra, soya beans and sunflowers.
34
3 Safety
3.1 General Information
67079
The combine harvester takes the grain from the front
attachment and conveys it via a conveying unit to the
threshing and separating units. There, the grains are
separated from straw and chaff. The straw and chaff
are deposited on the field using the distribution units
behind the combine harvester. The grain is stored tem-
porarily in the combine harvester's grain tank and then
loaded on a transport vehicle by a conveying unit.
When the combine harvester is driven on public roads,
a front attachment approved by the manufacturer can
be fitted on the front, depending on the applicable reg-
ulations, and driven with the combine harvester, or a
trailer approved by the manufacturer that is loaded
with the front attachment can be coupled to the trailer
hitch and towed.
The machine may only be used, maintained and serv-
iced by persons who are familiar with the machine and
briefed on the hazards that may arise as a result of the
machine's functions.
Compliance with the conditions of operation, mainte-
nance and servicing as specified in the operator's
manual and by the manufacturer also constitute
essential elements for the intended use.
The relevant accident prevention regulations, all other
generally recognised regulations on safety and occu-
pational medicine and the road traffic regulations must
be observed by users and owners at all times.
Any use other than this is considered "unintended",
and the manufacturer is not liable for any resulting
damage. All liability in this case is borne by the user.
For specific details, you may request information on
intended use in exceptional situations from CLAAS.
106464
3.1.4 Reasonable foreseeable misuse
Use outside of intended use
constitutes use not
intended by the manufacturer of the machine and
therefore amounts to misuse for the purposes of the
machinery directive. The manufacturer accepts no lia-
bility for damage resulting from this. All liability is borne
by the user.
Misuse of the CLAAS combine harvester includes:
• Use of areas and premises that are not described
in the operator's manual as workplaces
• Performance of adjustment work, cleaning work
and maintenance work against the specifications
in the operator's manual
• Performance of fault elimination and servicing
work with drives and/or the diesel engine running
• Nonobservance of warning signs on the machine
and in the operator's manual
• Performance of servicing and repair work by
untrained personnel
• Unauthorised modifications to the machine
