Introduction
2
This quick reference guide has been produced to aid operators with familiarisation
and settings of CLAAS TUCANO combine harvesters.
CLAAS combines are designed for output and efficiency but this can only be achieved
with correct operation and maintenance of the machine.
This guide is not designed to replace the Operators Manual but merely as a reference
document. More in depth information is available in the Operators Manual.
ALWAYS READ THE OPERATORS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR COMBINE.
Down time costs output
To get the most from the machine, the wheels must be turning. In order to keep
downtime to a minimum, it’s vital that routine maintenance is not neglected. As well
as servicing the machine according to the operator’s manual, a good check of the
machine is essential.
It is false economy to put off the replacement of worn parts until they break. For
example, a cracked knife section will take 5 minutes to change before starting work,
but usually a minimum of 10 minutes output will be lost, once work has begun.
Abbreviations
Throughout this guide the following abbreviations are used:
‘LHS’ and ‘RHS’ refer to the Left Hand Side and Right Hand Side of the machine
respectively, taken from the rear of the machine facing in the direction of travel
APS –Accelerated Pre-Separation, refers to the accelerator drum in front of the main
drum

Safety
3
Safety is of the utmost importance whilst you are operating and maintaining your
combine harvester. Make sure that all of the risks are assessed to reduce the likelihood
of an accident.
Make sure you are familiar with the controls and operation of the machine and have
read the operators manual
The combine harvester has many moving parts, guards are designed to keep you safe,
please ensure that all guards are kept in place and in good condition when operating
the machine.
When doing any maintenance work or making adjustments outside of the machine
make sure that the engine is switched off and the battery isolator key is removed.
If you need to go underneath the front elevator/ cutterbar to make adjustments/ clean
concaves, preparation pan, etc. Make sure that the cutterbar lift cylinder lock is in
place.
Some of the maintenance has to be carried out at height, please assess the risks that
this poses and ensure that the task is carried out safely.
When operating the machine be aware of the presence of people particularly in
farmyards, always get someone to help you when reversing in confined areas.
Be aware of the size of your machine, particularly the height, you may be at risk from
contact with overhead power lines and overhead obstructions particularly but not
exclusively when the grain tank lids are up and if extra aerials have been fitted to your
machine.
For more in depth safety information please consult your operators manual. Other
information is available on the HSE website: www.hse.gov.uk
Always read the Operators Manual before using any new machine.

CEBIS Calibration
Daily zeroing
This should be carried out with the
machine running with threshing
engaged at maximum no load speed.
The following items should be zeroed
on a daily basis.
1.Set ‘Zero returns’
2.Set ‘Zero yield’
The concave end stops are calibrated
automatically, once every 24hour’s.
When threshing is engaged, the
concave will move from 7 –50mm
and back to learn its end stops
Seasonal calibration
At the beginning of season before the
combine is used it is advised that the
following items are learnt:
1. Learn cutting height limits, knife (1)
and reel (2) ‘end stops’ in the
Cutterbar section of CEBIS.
2. With threshing and cutterbar
engaged and the machine running at
full throttle, learn the ‘Max no-load
speed’(3).
To allow the machine to display accurate information certain parameters need to be
‘learnt’ either on a daily or seasonal basis.

CEBIS Calibration
Working Position
Don’t forget to learn the working
position of the cutterbar within CEBIS
to avoid inaccurate yield
measurements.
This may also need to be changed
when combining different crops.
If a problem occurs involving the AUTO
CONTOUR response, always try learning
the cutting height limits before
contacting the service department of
your preferred CLAAS dealer.

Cutterbar
19
The cutterbar is one of the most
important parts of the combine harvester.
It is designed to cut and gather the crop
from the field. It then needs to feed the
material evenly and preferably head first
to the drum.
Dividers
The first part of the cutterbar to make contact with the crop are the dividers. There
are two types either the long divider or special short divider.
Make sure that the height of the long divider is set so it does not run on the ground, it
is recommended that the shoe should be set to the same height as the stubble.
Lifters
It is recommended that lifters should be
fitted to CLAAS cutterbars. The lifters
should be fitted by placing the first one
on the fifth finger from the RHS of the
cutterbar and then on every fourth one
thereafter.
Lifters should be checked for wear/fatigue
on a daily basis and replaced if necessary.
There are two types of lifter available,
these are the standard lifter and the low
cut lifter for when lower cutting heights
are required i.e peas.
