- Unscrew the seal caps of service valves at

(1 and 2).

- Completely open both service valves (1 and 2) to

1

2

their fully open position and tighten them in that

position so that the valve seating faces will seal off

properly toward the outside as well.

- Screw on the plugs of service valves at (1 and 2).

Ensure that the seal caps (V) are tight.

- Insert the flat fuse (F) (the cable with the flat fuse

17

(F) is located between the grain tank and the

19297

engine).

Caution!

The flat fuse (F) for the air conditioner must

never be inserted as long as the valves on the

compressor are closed.

On cabs equipped with a cab heater, open the bypass

flap by moving lever (1) to the down position. Start the

diesel engine. Set the double fan to the desired speed

1 - 3 using switch (4). Turn air conditioner thermostat

switch (5) in clockwise direction to set the desired tem-

perature. The air conditioning system is now turned

on.

Precooled air from inside the cab is drawn in through

recirculating air grille (6) and mixed with filtered out-

side air. The blend is further cooled and pushed into

the cab through louvres (8) and (7). The adjustable air

louvres (8) and (7) allow the operator to control the

direction of air flow. Air louvres (7) can be closed, if

required.

When the desired temperature is reached, a thermo-

stat switch in conjunction with an electro-magnetic

clutch disengages the compressor.

The compressor is automatically engaged as the tem-

perature rises.

The air conditioner can only work properly if the door

and the windows are closed.

The air conditioner is shut down automatically if a mal-

function occurs:

The air conditioner was shut down via the high-pres-

sure switch.

After the system has cooled down, the air conditioner

is switched on again automatically.

If the air conditioner is shut down very frequently at

very short intervals, it must be checked for any possi-

ble faults.

Possible causes - see Problem, possible cause and

remedy - Air conditioner.

Note!

Differences in temperature between the inside

air and outside air of more than 8 °C to 10 °C

(46 °F to 50 °F) are a danger to your health!

7.2.16 Cab with air conditioner

(with Sanden compressor)

Danger!

Contact with refrigerant.

Death or serious injury!

- Avoid any contact with refrigerant.

- If refrigerant splashes into the eyes, con-

sult a doctor immediately!

- Have maintenance and repair work car-

ried out by specialist air conditioning

system workshops only.

- Do not weld any components of the refrig-

erant circuit and in the immediate vicinity

of any parts of the refrigerant circuit. -

Danger of poisoning!

- Maximum ambient temperature for refrig-

erant is 80°C.

The cab is equipped with an efficient fresh air fan.

The fan can be set to three different speeds by means

of the 3-position switch (4).

Putting the air conditioner into operation (with

Sanden compressor)

On cabs equipped with a cab heater, open the bypass

flap by moving lever (1) to the down position. Start the

diesel engine. Set the double fan to the desired speed

1 - 3 using switch (4). Turn air conditioner thermostat

switch (5) in clockwise direction to set the desired tem-

perature. The air conditioning system is now turned

on.

Precooled air from inside the cab is drawn in through

recirculating air grille (6) and mixed with filtered out-

19

side air. The blend is further cooled and pushed into

19303

the cab through louvres (8) and (7). The adjustable air

louvres (8) and (7) allow the operator to control the

direction of air flow. Air louvres (7) can be closed, if

required.

7.2.19 Functions monitor

The speed loss monitor monitors the speeds of the

upper feed rake shaft, clean grain and returns eleva-

B

tors, straw walker shafts and of the straw chopper. It

S

also monitors the air filter and the engine oil pressure.

The appropriate red indicator light in the combined

instrument gauge lights up and a buzzer sounds when

shaft speed slows down, when the air filter is soiled

and when the engine oil pressure is too low. The

buzzer (S) located on the right-hand side of the opera-

tor's seat goes on and off intermittently.

All magnetic pick-ups (J) must be set to a gap of 1 ±

0.5 mm between gear wheels (Z) and the magnetic

pick-up.

When the engine is being started, the buzzer sounds

briefly until the engine oil pressure has built up.

The shaft speed-loss monitors are switched on and off

by means of a switch that is activated by the cutterbar

drive control mechanism.

As an option, the machine can be equipped with an

operator's cab in one of four versions.

• Cab with fan

• Cab with fan and heater

• Cab with fan and air conditioner

• Cab with fan, heater, and air conditioner

These variants make operation of the combine far

more comfortable for the operator even under the most

unfavourable weather conditions (dust, heat or cold).
