Thank you for choosing a CLAAS tractor.
In this guide you will find the instructions for use and
maintenance that you must know to get the best service from
your tractor.
This document is not to be considered as contractual. CLAAS
has a policy of continuous technical improvement to all their
products, and therefore reserve the right to change without
notice and at any time the details contained in this booklet.
If you are still unsure about any points, the technicians of the
CLAAS network will be pleased to give you any additional
information you may require.
The description of the different models contained in this
manual was established from technical characteristics known
at the time of writing the document. The manual contains all
existing equipment (standard or optional) for these models,
and their presence in the tractor depends on the version and
options chosen and on the country of sale.
Important: See chapter
"M"
. Servicing operations during
the guarantee period are mandatory; failure to carry then
out will nullify the contractual guarantee.
Failure to observe the instructions for use and maintenance
as described in this manual definitively excludes any
possibility of recourse to the CLAAS guarantee system.

SAFETY
FOREWORD
CLAAS Tractors are designed and built to give you optimum
service over many years. They are designed to provide the
most comfortable and safe working conditions.
A frontal loader must never be fitted on the rollbar
tractor if the tractor does not have a protective system
against falling objects.
However, accidents can easily happen in agricultural work. It
is important to know the dangers and how to avoid them.
We respectively draw your attention to certain aspects
that merit constant attention (non exhaustive list).
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING
Caution is the best guarantee against any risk of
accident.
The driver must be fully familiar with the tractor and must
understand all the controls, their position and their purpose.
This manual must be read carefully.
If the tractor is used by anybody other than the owner, he
must be given all explanations required to allow him to work
safely.
Thedriving positionmustbeclean(instrumentpanel, steering
wheel, floor and pedals).
Footstepsmustbeclean(no mud) to avoidslippingwhen
climbing or descending.
Use the steps and handles provided when getting into or out
of the tractor.
Before starting the engine, make sure that all controls are in
the neutral position, particularly the power take-off lever.
Only run the engine in well ventilated areas.
Make sure there is nobody nearby before starting the
tractor.
Fully release the handbrake before starting.
Do not start work if the tractor is not working properly.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
RULES FOR SAFETY AND USE
Any violation of the safety seals will invalidate any claims for
liability against CLAAS for the entire delivery.
Any assembly of the CLAAS frontal loader over and above
the recommendations of the CLAAF rate in force at the date
of purchase shall result in the annulment of the CLAAS
guarantee for the entire delivery.
001hsn03
001hsn04
Any modification of a part of the CLAAS delivery, or use of a
tool or element installed on the frontal loader not originating
from CLAAS, shall result in the annulment of the CLAAS
guarantee for the entire delivery.
Use only spart parts and accessories that are in conformity
with CLAAS recommendations.
Do not modify your frontal loader or subject it to modification
by a thirdparty without obtaining priorwrittenpermissionfrom
CLAAS. Failure to comply with these rules may make your
frontal loader dangerous. In the event of damage or injury,
CLAAS's liability may not be invoked.
The guarantee ceases immediately if the standards, the
instructions or the maintenance of the frontal loader given in
this assembly notice document and instructions for use are
not respected.

A.5
CONDITION OF THE TRACTOR
Maintaining the tractor in the best possible condition, by
carrying out all routine maintenance (oil changes, level
checks, overhauls, adjustments and thorough cleaning) will
allow it to be used in the safest and most profitable way.
Check the following items first:
-
High temperature components:
Check that airborne
particles such as straw, grass, wood chips etc., do not
accumulate in high temperature areas. Clear debris from
around the engine and the exhaust system. For tools
attached to the front or the side of the tractor, inspect and
clean the areas around the attachments for the various
supports.
-
Brakes:
Check that the brakes work properly. Check the
operation of the hand brake and foot brake.
-
Steering:
Check the operation of the hydrostatic steering.
-
Transmission:
Check the transmission fluid level
(especially if external services are used).
-
Hydraulic system:
Check the condition of the system
(unions, pipes, hoses), particularly the hoses to the
steering actuators.
-
Electrical system:
Check the condition of the electrical
system (batteries, wiring, headlights, indicator lights,
hazard lights, rotating beacons, windscreen wipers, etc.).
-
Lighting - indicators:
All lighting and indicating
equipment must not only be in working order, but must be
fully visible; clean them. Carry a spare set of bulbs.
Replace any defective element.
Check periodically for the presence of the safety pins and
bolts; do not replace them with any other object.
Only fit genuine CLAAS parts. The CLAAS network is at your
disposal for any parts or products required to keep your
tractor in perfect working order.

A.6
ADJUSTMENT OR MAINTENANCE -
REPAIRS
Only carry out operations well within your capabilities. A
number of simple adjustments are described in the manual
(clutch and brake free travel, etc.). Never attempt to work on
your tractor unless you have perfectly understood the
procedure and have all the basic equipment required.
Special equipment is required to remove or install major
components (the cab, engine, transmission, front axle);
this equipment represents the only guarantee of safe
working conditions and successful repair.
The CLAAS network is at your disposal for all this work. It has
the approved special tooling, the skills required and genuine
CLAAS parts. If you have any doubts at all, call in your
CLAAS agent.

A.7
AXLE STANDS
If the tractor is to be placed on axle stands, always work
on a flat, horizontal, hard surface.
Check the axle stands are suitable for the load. For this
operation, check the tractor's front and rear weights in
chapter
"K"
.

-wheel-drive tractor:
If the rear axle is on stands, do not start the engine.
Riskof thetractor moving if thebrakesare activated(foot
brake or hand brake).
If the engine has to be started, the front axle must also be
supported on axle stands.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Transmission oil: Transmision oil is used as hydraulic fluid for
the linkage and external services.
The hydraulic circuit of the frontal loader is designed to bear
a maximum service pressure of
200
bar. Never modify the
connection of hydraulic hoses.
Oil escaping from a pipe under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin.
Should an injury be caused by oil under pressure, see a
doctor immediately. Serious infection can occur if the
wound is not treated immediately.
Consequently, always use a piece of wood or cardboard
to find a leak on a pipe under pressure: never use your
hand!
As a general rule: Make sure the unions are tight and the
pipes in good condition before putting the system under
pressure.
Never loosen a union when the circuit is under pressure.
For any repairs to the hydraulic system, stop the engine and
lower the implement to the ground.
Letthe oilcooldownbeforeworkingon the system,to prevent
any risk of getting burnt when the oil flows.
Maintenance - greasing: Always stop the engine.

A.8
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Knowledge and skill are required to work on the electrical
system. If the need arises (installation of miscellaneous
accessories, radio etc.) contact your approved CLAAS repair
agent.
In addition:
•
Always disconnect the battery negative terminal before
working on the electrical system.
•
Never weld on the tractor or on a towed implement.
•
Never "patch-up" electric circuits.
•
Never replace a blown fuse with a larger calibre fuse;
you could cause a fire.
•
Never carry out work on components such as the
alternator or the fan motor when the engine is running.
•
If you need to handle the battery, ensure that acid
does not contact the skin; protect your eyes from
splashes.
FUEL
RE-FUELLING
Before filling the tank, always carefully clean around the fuel
cap to remove any pieces of straw, twigs, etc. which could
help start and then propagate a fire.
In addition:
•
Never fill the tanks when the engine is running or near
a naked flame.
•
Do not smoke when filling with fuel.
COOLANT
Do not work on the cooling system when the engine is
hot
(risk of burns)

A.9
ROAD USE - USE FOR TRANSPORT
Always comply with THE LEGISLATION on the use of
agricultural tractors on the road. Never exceed the maximum
transportation speed of the machine.
If in doubt, consult the police or insurance companies.
Whenever possible, avoid using busy roads.
When transporting equipment on a public road, use the
warning device required by the highway code.
All indicators must be clean and in working order.
The working lights must not be lit.
Brake pedals must be coupled together.
Do not use the differential lock on the road or in bends.
Certification aspects of the wearing of seat belts are laid
down in the construction and use regulations. Comply
with the law in your country.
If carrying an additional passenger, the tractor must be
fited with a passenger seat.
Do not carry passengers except on the seat provided for the
purpose.
Reduce speed on rough roads or tracks.
Towing: If the trailer has an independent brake system,
connect the brake pipe to the brake valve coupling and not to
the auxiliary spool valve.
If it is necessary to stop on the road in a position that causes
a traffic hazard (insufficient visibility), itismandatory to switch
the hazard warning lights on.
When transporting mounted equipment, set the linkage to the
raised position. If the tool has transport wheels, use them.
Slow down before changing direction.
When travelling downhill, always remain in gear: never
declutch. The gear selected should be the same as would be
used to climb an equivalent gradient.
Transporting or lifting persons using the frontal loader is
strictly forbidden.
Limit any movement with a raised load. The tractor may
become unbalanced.
Never leave the tractor with a raised load.
