DOMINATOR 130 (optional equipment)
The straw chopper speed monitor must be switched off
when putting the straw chopper out of operation

(swinging the standard spreader to swathing position),
using the pull switch (1).
When the chopper is standing still while the pull switch
is OFF, the horn on the operator's platform produces
no horn sound. The straw chopper indicator light in the
vehicle information unit is also deactivated.

83011
11.10.1 Inspecting the returns
Coarse particles (e.g. unthreshed heads) drop through
the upper sieve and from the lower sieve into the
returns auger which moves the material to the returns
elevator. The elevator carries the returns to the thresh-
ing drum for second threshing.
Excessive returns cut down on efficiency and
cause cracked grain and grain losses.
Excessive returns can have a number of reasons:
• Incorrect setting of the threshing mechanism, con-
cave, threshing drum speed (excessive cracked
grain).
72
19644
• Sieves set too close or lower sieve holes
too small.
• Incorrect setting of the wind blast (too high
or too low).
• Ground speed too high.
- Engage the threshing mechanism.
- Set the diesel engine speed to fast idling
speed.
- Move the machine into the crop.

11.10.6 Removing / installing the grain tank
auger cover plates
Due to the conical shape of the grain tank auger cover
plates, the inlet slots to the bottom grain tank unload-
ing augers are wider on the left side than on the right
side.
This ensures that plugs in the unloading augers are
avoided when working in well-flowing crops.
In poorly flowing crops (grass seed), remove the plates
as needed.
- Observe the general warnings at the beginning of
the "Fieldwork" chapter.
Danger!
Danger of falling!
Death or serious injuries!
- Arrange for additional safety precautions.
- Only enter areas protected by railings.
- Areas originally without railings must be
protected by additional railings.
- Open the grain tank cover and fold it open to the
rear as far as possible.

11.12.1 Disawner bars
In some cases, the separation of individual non-decor-
ticated or disawned grains must be avoided by
installing the disawner bars and this concave area
must be used for rasping out. To this end, disawner
bars can be fitted.
The optimum preparation of the crop in the front con-
cave section ensures early separation on the
downstream concave surface.
