the tank and depositing the straw on the ground.
This Operator's Manual should be used as a
practical reference guide: It contains all the
necessary practical information for the operation,
adjustment and maintenance of your new machine.
Your combine was designed and built to ensure
optimum performance, comfort and

The combine has been thoroughly inspected prior
to delivery both at the factory and by your Dealer,
to ensure you receive it in perfect condition.
To keep the combine in perfect condition and to
ensure trouble-free performance, the periodical
maintenance operations listed in this manual
should be carried out at the recommended
intervals.
Before operating and/or driving the combine,
read this Operator's Manual carefully, paying
particular attention to the section on safety
rules.
Always keep this manual on hand for further

The terms "left" and "right" are always used with
reference to the machine travelling direction.
Should you require further information about the
machine, please do not hesitate to contact your

authorisation by the manufacturer.
When ordering spare parts and/or optional
equipment, always quote combine model and serial
number (see section “Combine Identification”).
WARRANTY
Your combine is warranted in compliance with the
regulations in force in your country and the
agreements made with your Dealer.
However, the warranty becomes void in the
following situations:
a.) If the machine has been used inappropriately.
b.) If adjustments and maintenance have not been
carried out according to the instructions in this
manual.
c.) If the failures are caused by the use of
non-genuine spare parts or accessories.
d.) If damage is the result of carelessness,
negligence, inappropriate use of the machine
or operational errors.
If the safety devices are removed and/or
non-genuine spare parts are used, the
warranty becomes void automatically and the
manufacturer disclaims any liability.
The warranty applies only to repair or free
replacement of parts proving defective after a
careful inspection by the manufacturer (excluding
wear parts and tyres), as described in the Combine
Service Record Book. In the event that warranted
parts are replaced or repaired, warranty terms are
not extended. The customer can assert his
warranty rights only insofar as the warranty
conditions contained in the Service Record Book
have been observed.
LUBRICANTS
Your Dealer can provide a wide range of special
lubricants, produced according to the specific
technical specifications of the combine.
For these combines we recommend the use of the
lubricants listed on page 5-42 and on page 5-43.
Only use genuine AGCO parts.

1.2 APPROPRIATE USE
C series combines are designed as self-propelled units with a diesel engine.
The machines are manufactured exclusively for usual agricultural purposes, i.e. for harvesting cereal, seed,
rice, maize, soya, etc. by cutting or picking-up the crop, threshing and separating the grains from the ears,
delivering the grains in the grain tank and unloading them into the grain wagon.
Machine performance may be limited by various factors such as harvesting speed, weather conditions,
ground characteristics and the type and degree of ripeness of the crop.
When operating the machine, make sure the cab doors are shut. The operator and instructor, if present, must
remain seated in their respective seats with their seatbelts fastened (the operator should not drive the
machine when standing).
The machines may be operated only by skilled personnel, who are thoroughly familiar with all the machine's
functions and harvesting techniques.
Machine stability is ensured on the following inclinations, on condition that the ground is firm and the tyres
offer sufficient grip:
• 30% (18 °) longitudinally (uphill and downhill).
•30%(18°)crosswise.
Forbidden uses
Do not use the machine for tasks or purposes other than those specified in this Manual, on the safety decals
or on other safety information provided with the machine. The following pages contain recommendations on
correct and incorrect use of the machine when travelling on public roads, during field operations and
maintenance.
Many machine functions related to safety are managed by the software.
Do not try to modify or replace the software. You risk damaging the settings and the operating logic of the
machine.
Such tampering could lead to unpredictable and abnormal behaviour, making it unsafe for the operator(s)
and the machine.
Only your Dealer is authorised to intervene on the machine software.
The machine's maximum speed on the road is limited and controlled by the software. Do not try to change it.
648 D and 652 D models
The above combine models are designed for working on level ground to ensure even distribution of the crop
inside the machine. These models HAVE NOT been developed for working on sloping ground.
TABLE TYPES (please see the specific Operator's Manual)
The above-mentioned combines may use 4.80, 5.40, 6.00, 7.00 or 7.60 m cutting tables.
NOTE: In this manual, the term “table/s” signifies both the cutting table and the maize header when used
generically. The term “cutting table” refers to the assembly consisting of reel, cutting bar, table auger, etc.
used to harvest cereal, rice, soya, etc. The term “maize header” refers to the equipment formed by stalk
grippers, stripping blades, conveyor chains, etc. used for maize harvesting.
