Introduction
INTRODUCTION This manual applies to CLAAS LEXION 460 / LEXION
450 / LEXION 440 / LEXION 430 / LEXION 420 and
LEXION 410 Combine Harvesters.
It is intended to give the machine operator information
on setting, using and servicing the CLAAS Combine
Harvester.
Texts and pictures apply, in general, to all combine
models covered by this manual, and 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 ancillary
equipment is also covered by this manual. A separate
Operator's Manual is available for cutterbars.
Please read the instructions which apply to the
appropriate ancillary equipment on your combine.
Provided you follow the advice on the care and
servicing of your machine you will be rewarded with
reliable and long service from your Combine
Harvester.
We recommend that you allow your authorized
CLAAS Dealer to carry out the regular maintenance.
Omissions of parts of the maintenance schedule or
incorrect operation lead to a drop in performance and
cost valuable time. By correct servicing and operation
you can make full use of our sound experience and of
the latest technical knowledge in combine harvesting
with which your combine has been designed and
thereby ensure reliability of your Combine Harvester.
This Operator’s Manual can be ordered from your
CLAAS Dealer as well as the manuals listed below:
•Threshing Instructions for special crops
•Fitting and Operating Instructions for ancillary
equipment

ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
IMPORTANT: Road traffic regulations may vary
between countries. In case of discrepancies
between the instructions provided by the manu-
facturer and the traffic regulations of the relevant
countries, the traffic regulations of the countries
concerned apply.
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,
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 exceptional 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 machine's General Operating Permit.
Furthermore, 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 is/are subsequently
modified whose condition is/are prescribed 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 responsible (TÜV) in
order to obtain an expert opinion certificate
(§19 section 2 STVZO).
If you are in any doubt as to whether this situation
applies in your case, please contact us as manu-
facturers.
If a transport vehicle for front end attachments is
towed behind the combine 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 maxi-
mum speed of up to 20 kph, the combine is not
subject to the normal registration regulations and
is not required to bear a registration plate. The
machine must, however, 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.
