Section 00 -- GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTION
IMPORTANT NOTE
All maintenance and repair works described in this manual must be carried out only by the LAVERDA service net-
work, 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 damage.
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 correct rotating shaft seal installation, proceed as follows:
-- 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.

By using these tools, Repair Personnel will benefit from:
-- working in the best technical conditions;
-- getting the best results;
-- saving time and effort;
-- working more safely.
CAUTION
Wear limit values indicated for certain parts should be considered to be recommended, but not 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 REGULATIONS
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 -- Specific warnings concerning potential hazards for operator safety or for
other persons directly or indirectly involved.
AVOID ACCIDENTS
Most accidents and injuries occurring in workshops
are due to the lacked compliance with some simple
and fundamental caution and safety rules. For this rea-
son, IN MOST CASES THEY CAN BE PREVENTED:
just consider the possible causes in advance and act
consequently, with the required caution and care.
Accidents may occur with all types of machine, regard-
less of how well the machine in question was designed
and built.
A cautious and careful mechanician is the best war-
ranty against accidents.
Precise observance of the most basic safety rule is
normally sufficient to avoid many serious accidents.
DANGER. Never carry out any cleaning, lubrication or
maintenance operation when the engine is running.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
GENERAL FEATURES
◊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. It is recommended to
wear clothes approved as for accident prevention,
such as anti--skid shoes, gloves, safety 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 regulations in force.
◊Disconnect the batteries and label all controls to
warn that the machine is being serviced. Lock the
machine and all the equipment to 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
327 258 010 -- 01 -- 2008
◊Use only the prescribed points for towing the ma-
chine. Make the connection with the utmost care:
make sure that the envisaged pins and/or catches
are securely tightened before towing. Never re-
main near the towing bars, cables or chains that
are operating under load.
◊To transfer a faulty machine, use a trailer or low
loading platform trailer, 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. Se-
curely fasten the machine to the platform of the
truck or the trailer and lock the wheels as required
by the shipping agent.
◊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
prescribed safety equipment: helmets, special
goggles and shoes.
◊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 the work on hillsides cannot be avoided,
first lock the machine and move it to a level ground,
as soon as you can do it within a given safety mar-
gin.
◊Dented and bent chains or ropes aren’t reliable: do
not use them for lifting or towing. Always use suit-
able protective gloves when handling chains or
cables.
◊The chains must be tightly fastened: make sure
the fastening device is strong enough to hold the
envisaged load. No people should stand next to
the towing connection, chains or ropes.
◊The area for servicing operations should be kept
always CLEAN and DRY. Immediately remove any
water deposits or oil stains.
◊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 dark goggles, helmets, over-
alls, special gloves and footwear. Dark goggles
must be worn also by bystanders, if they need to
remain next to the operator carrying out welding
operations. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE
WELDING ARC WITHOUT SUITABLE EYE
PROTECTION.
◊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 the approved protection de-
vices, such as safety goggles, safety gloves and
shoes.
