Section 00 -- GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE
All maintenance and repair works described in this manual must be carried out only by the AGCO service network,
strictly complying with the instructions given and using the required special tools.
Anybody carrying out the above interventions without strictly complying with the prescriptions is fully responsible
for the occurred damages.
ADJUSTMENT SHIMS
During any adjustment, select the adjustment shims measuring them individually, by a micrometer, and then sum-
ming up the detected values: do not rely on the wrong measurement of the complete pack or on the rated value
stated for each ring.
ROTARY SHAFT SEALS
For a correct fitting of the rotary shaft seals, comply with the following precautions:
-- before assembly, leave the seals in oil bath, for at least half an hour, using the same oil they should contain;
-- carefully clean the shaft and make sure its working surface isn’t damaged;
-- direct the seal edge to the fluid; in case of hydrodynamic edge, the stripes must be directed so that, considering
the shaft rotation direction, the fluid is brought back to the sealing means;
-- lay a thin layer of lubricant on the seal edge (oil rather than grease) and fill with grease the gap between seal
edge and dust edge in case of double edge seals;
-- fit the seal in the relevant housing pressing it or using a drift with flat contact surface; do not beat it with hammer
or drift;
-- during driving, make sure the seal is perpendicular to its housing and, at the end of the driving, make sure it
touches the shoulder;
-- to prevent damaging the seal edge against the shaft, lay a suitable protection during installation of both parts.
”O--RINGS”
Lubricate O--rings before fitting them in their seats to prevent any rolling over and twisting, during assembly/installa-
tion, thus jeopardizing their sealing action.
SEALANTS
Before laying the sealant on the mating surfaces, prepare them as follows:
-- remove possible scales through a metal brush;
-- thoroughly degrease the surfaces by one of the following cleansers: trichloroethylene, oil, or a solution of water
and soda.
COTTER PINS
While fitting split cotter pins, make sure that their groove is directed towards the effort direction, stressing the pin.
Spiral cotter pins do not need any orientation during fitting.

SECTION 00 -- GENERAL INFORMATION2
327 208 010 -- 01 -- 2005
REMARKS ABOUT SPARE PARTS
Use only AGCO genuine parts, the only ones bearing this mark.
Only genuine parts guarantee the same quality, life, safety as original parts, as they are the same as those fitted
during standard production.
Only AGCO genuine spare parts can offer this guarantee.
All spare parts orders must be accompanied by the following data:
-- machine model (commercial name) and frame number;
-- combine type and number;
-- part number of the ordered part, which can be found in the ”Microfiches” or in the ”Spare Part Catalogue”, used
for order processing.
REMARKS ABOUT TOOLS
The tools that AGCO suggests and describes in this manual have been:
-- expressly studied and designed to operate on AGCO range combines;
-- required to get a reliable repair;
-- suitably manufactured and strictly tested to offer efficient and long--lasting working means.
The Repair Technician should remember that having these tools available means:
-- working in the best technical conditions;
-- getting the best results;
-- saving time and effort;
-- working more safely.
CAUTION
The wear limits given for some parts must be meant as suggested values, rather they aren’t definitely binding. The
words ”front”, ”rear”, ”right” and ”left” referred to different parts are meant with the operator sitting on the driver’s
seat and directed towards the combine standard running direction.
HOW TO MOVE THE COMBINE WITHOUT BATTERY
The cables of the outer power supply unit must be connected only to the relevant terminals of the negative and posi-
tive cables of the combine using efficient pliers to get a suitable and stable contact.
Disconnect all services (lights, windscreen wipers, etc...) before starting the combine.
If the operating efficiency of the combine electrical system must be checked, proceed only after connecting the
power supply unit. At the end of the check, disconnect all the services and switch the power supply off before discon-
necting its cables.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SYMBOL
This warning symbol points out important messages involving your personal safety.
Carefully read all the suggested safety precautions to avoid potential hazards and
safeguard your health and personal safety.
In this manual you will find this symbol together with the following key words:
WARNING -- In case of warning aimed at preventing unsuitable repair works, involving
potential hazards to the operator’s safety.
DANGER -- In case of warning aimed at preventing potential hazards to the safety of the
operator or other people directly or directly involved.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS
Most accidents and injuries taking place in workshops
are caused by the lacked compliance with some
simple and essential caution and safety precautions.
For this reason, IN MOST CASES THEY CAN BE
AVOIDED: just foresee possible causes and act
consequently, with the required caution and care.
The possibility that an accident might occur on any
type of machine, no matter how well it was designed
and built, should not be disregarded.
A wise and careful service technician is the best war-
ranty against accidents.
The strict compliance with a single and basic safety
precaution would be enough to prevent severe acci-
dents.
DANGER. Never carry out any cleaning, lubrication or
maintenance operation when the engine is running.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
◊Strictly comply with the specified maintenance and
repair procedures.
◊Never wear rings, watches, jewels, loose or unbut-
toned clothing such as ties, torn clothes, scarves,
open jackets or shirts with open zips which could
get trapped in moving parts. Wear approved safety
clothing, such as for example anti--slip footwear,
gloves, goggles, helmets, etc...
◊Never carry out any repair intervention on the ma-
chine if someone is sitting on the driver’s seat, ex-
cept for authorized operators assisting in the oper-
ation to be carried out.
◊Never operate the machine or use attachments
from a place other than sitting in the operator’s
seat.
◊Never carry out any intervention on the machine
when the engine is running, except when specifi-
cally indicated.
◊Stop the engine and make sure all pressure is re-
lieved from hydraulic circuits before removing
caps, covers, valves, etc...
◊All service interventions must be carried out with
the utmost care and attention.
◊Service stairs and ladders used in the workshop on
in the field should be built in compliance with the
safety rules in force.
◊Disconnect the batteries and label all controls to
warn that the machine is being serviced. Lock the
machine and any equipment which should be
lifted.
◊Never check or fill fuel tanks, accumulator bat-
teries, nor use starting fluid while smoking or next
to open flames, as the concerned fluids are flam-
mable.
◊Brakes are ineffective when manually released for
service interventions: in such cases, make sure
you can keep the machine under continuous con-
trol through suitable locks or other.
◊The fuel supply gun must always touch the filler
neck. Keep it there until fuel supply stops, to pre-
vent sparks due to static electricity build--up.

SECTION 00 -- GENERAL INFORMATION4
327 208 010 -- 01 -- 2005
◊Use only the prescribed points for towing the ma-
chine. Carry out the connections very carefully:
make sure that the pins and/or locks are tightly fas-
tened before towing. Do not stand next to the tow
bar, ropes or chains working under load.
◊To transfer a faulty machine, use a trailer or low
loading platform trolley, when available.
◊To load and unload the machine from the trans-
portation means, select a flat area providing a firm
support to the wheels of the trailer or truck. Tightly
fasten the machine to the platform of the truck or
the trailer and lock the wheels as required by the
carrier.
◊For electrical heaters, battery--chargers and simi-
lar equipment, use exclusively auxiliary power
supplies providing an efficient ground to avoid
electrical shock hazards.
◊While lifting or carrying heavy parts, use hoists and
similar equipment, with a suitable capacity.
◊Pay special attention to the presence of by--stand-
ers.
◊Never pour gasoline or diesel oil in open, wide and
low containers.
◊Never use gasoline, diesel oil or other flammable
liquids as cleansers: use non--flammable and non--
toxic standard solvents.
◊Wear goggles with side guards while cleaning
parts by compressed air.
◊Reduce air pressure according to the local or
national regulations in force.
◊Never operate the machine in closed areas, with-
out proper ventilation.
◊Do not smoke, use open flames, nor cause sparks
nearby when refilling or handling highly flammable
matters.
◊Do not use flames as light sources when servicing
the machine or checking for possible ”leaks”.
◊Move with caution when working under the ma-
chine, on the machine itself or nearby. Wear the
envisaged safety clothing: helmets, goggles and
special footwear.
◊During checks to be made with engine running,
ask an operator to sit on the driver’s seat and keep
the service technician under constant visual con-
trol at any time.
◊In case of servicing operations to be made outside
the workshop, drive the combine to a flat area and
lock it. If working on a sloped ground cannot be
avoided, first lock the machine and move it to a flat
ground as soon as possible, with a certain margin
of safety.
◊Dented and bent chains or ropes aren’t reliable: do
not use them for lifting or towing. While handling
them, always wear thick gloves.
◊The chains must be tightly fastened: make sure
the fastening device is strong enough to hold the
envisaged load. No person should stand next to
the fastening device, towing chains or ropes.
◊The area for servicing operations should be kept
always CLEAN and DRY. Immediately clean any
spillage of water or oil.
◊Do not pile up oil or grease soaked rags: they are
a great fire hazard. Always place them in a closed
metal container.
Before starting the machine or the equipment
check, adjust and lock the operator’s seat. Make
sure no person is standing in the machine or equip-
ment operating range.
◊Do not carry in your pockets any object that could
accidentally fall in the machine inner compart-
ments.
◊Whenever you might be hit by projecting metal
parts and other, wear an eye mask or goggles with
side guards, helmets, special footwear and heavy
gloves.
◊During welding operations, use the special safety
guards: face shield or tinted goggles, helmets,
overalls, special gloves and footwear. All those
standing next to the welding station should wear
special tinted eye protection. NEVER LOOK AT
THE WELDING ARC UNLESS YOUR EYES ARE
SUITABLY PROTECTED.
◊Metal cables, when used, get frayed: always wear
suitable protection while handling them (heavy
gloves, goggles, etc...).
◊Handle all parts with the utmost care. Keep your
hands and fingers away from gaps, gears and
others. Always wear approved protection equip-
ment, such as goggles, heavy gloves and safety
footwear.
