Introduction
INTRODUCTION This manual applies to the CLAAS Combine
Harvesters LEXION 570 Montana.
It is primarily intended for the machine operator and
contains information on using, setting and operating
the machine.
In general, texts and pictures apply to all machine
models covered by this manual. The information
given applies equally, except where reference is
made to a particular model in captions to the pictures
or in the main text.
Operation and maintenance of important accessories
is also covered by this manual. A separate Operator's
Manual is available for cutterbars.
Please read the instructions which apply to the
appropriate accessories on your machine.
Provided all instructions regarding maintenance and
care of your machine are followed, you can count on
many years of reliable service.
Please have your authorized CLAAS dealer carry out
the recommended regular inspections. The neglecting
of regular maintenance and proper machine operation
lead to reduced performance and loss of time. If proper
operation and careful maintenance is ensured, your
combine harvester, which incorporates latest
harvesting technology, will render you excellent
service.
This Operator’s Manual as well as the manuals listed
below can be ordered from your CLAAS Dealer:

General information
ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
In addition to his driving licence, the operator must
always carry the copy of the vehicle type approval
registration issued by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt
(the Federal Motor Vehicle Executive). A warning
triangle and, on machines over 4 t permissible total
weight, at least one wheel chock must always be
carried on the combine.
When driving on public roads with the combine
harvester comply with all the requirements stated
under letter C in the copy of the vehicle type
approval registration (§ 18 Section 5 StVZO)
issued by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (the Federal
Motor Vehicle Executive).
On machines with excess width (width over the
tyres), a vehicle type approval registration for
individual vehicles (single expert opinion) and a
special approval in accordance with § 70, Section 1,
clauses 1 and 2 of the StVZO must be carried
instead of the General Operating Permit. Further-
more, all the requirements stated in the vehicle type
approval registration for individual vehicles and in
the special approval must be observed. The issue
of a special approval differs from country to country.
The excess width must be marked in accordance
with the regulations for the marking of road vehicles
with excess width. (two marker boards at the front
and back, protective bar, two amber flashing
warning beacons)
If any part(s) of the combine harvester is/are sub-
sequently modified whose condition is/are pre-
scribed or the operation of which (after being
modified) could represent a hazard to other road
users, then the vehicle type approval registration
shall no longer be valid and application must be
made for a new vehicle type approval registration.
In this case the machine must be presented to the
motor vehicle safety inspection authority responsi-
ble (TÜV) in order to obtain an expert opinion certifi-
cate (§ 19 section 2 StVZO).
If you are in any doubt as to whether this situation
applies in your case, please contact us as
manufacturers.
If a transport vehicle for front end attachments is
towed behind the combine harvester then the cable
for the lighting system must be connected and the
good condition of the lighting system assured.
If the combine is equipped with a maize picker head
or folding cutterbar, the regulations and require-
ments of the machine's General Operating Permit
must be observed, in particular the requirements
concerning ballast weights and tyres.
Registration
As a self propelled working machine with a
maximum speed of up to 20 km/h, the combine
is not subject to registration and does not need to
have licence plates fitted. The machine must be
clearly and indelibly marked on the left-hand side
with the Christian name and surname of the owner
and his address.
The towing of trailers in the trailer hitch when
driving on public roads is not permitted.
Road traffic regulations may vary between
countries. In case of discrepancies between the
instructions provided by the manufacturer and the
traffic regulations of the relevant countries, the
traffic regulations of the countries concerned apply.
