Operator's Manual Combines FENDT 5270-6300- EN - LA327184015 - 11/2007 1-1
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 CUSTOMER INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Your new self-propelled combine is manufactured
for harvesting seed and cereal crops, for threshing,
separating, cleaning and conveying the grain into
the tank and depositing the straw on the ground.
This Operator's Manual contains all the necessary
practical information on the operation, adjustment
and maintenance of your new machine and should
be used as a practical reference guide.
The combine is designed and built to ensure
optimum performance, comfort and
ease-of-operation in a wide variety of crops and
conditions.
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 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 reference.
The terms "left" and "right" are always used with
reference to the travelling direction.
Should you require further information about the
machine, please do not hesitate to contact your
authorised Dealer. Your Dealer provides specially
trained personnel, genuine quality spare parts and
the required tools to solve any problems that may
arise.
NOTE:
• This combine has been designed and built in
compliance with the Machine Directive
98/37/EC. 
A CE Declaration of Conformity is supplied
with the machine. 
The manufacturer disclaims all liability to any
claim resulting from unauthorised modification
or alteration.
• This manual is published for world wide
distribution, and the availability of equipment
shown as basic or accessory varies according
to the territory in which the combine is to be
used. 
Specifications may differ from those contained
in this Operator's Manual according to the
customer's requirements.
• In order to provide a better view, certain
illustrations in this manual may show an
assembly with standard guards, or the guards
required by law in different countries, open or
removed. However, a machine should never
be operated in this condition. For your own
safety, always ensure all safety guards are
closed and correctly fitted before operating
the machine.
•This Operator's Manual, along with the
Operator's Manual for table and PTO shaft,
must always be kept in the pocket provided
on the right-hand side of the operator seat
for convenient reference..

1-2 Operator's Manual Combines FENDT 5270-6300- EN - LA327184015 - 11/2007
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
The machine has been designed to operate in a
wide variety of crops and conditions. However, in
certain cases it may be necessary to fit additional
accessories to improve machine performance and
adapt the machine to special crops or harvesting
conditions. A list of available accessories is
provided in the section "Optional Equipment".
SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
The genuine spare parts and accessories have
been specifically designed for this type of machine.
Only genuine parts supplied by your authorised
Dealer can guarantee correct operation and
optimum performance.
Never use non-genuine spare parts or accessories:
Some accessories (e.g. PTO shafts, straw
choppers, tables) require a CE certification, which
can be provided only by the manufacturer or his
qualified and recognised sub-suppliers.
Non-genuine spare parts have not been tested and
are not authorised by the manufacturer. The fitting
and/or use of such equipment may have a
damaging effect on the design features of the
machine and jeopardise operational safety.
The manufacturer disclaims all liability in the
event of loss or damage arising as a result of
non-genuine parts or accessories being fitted.
It is expressly prohibited to make any modification
to the combine without the prior written
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, the warranty
becomes void automatically and the
manufacturer disclaims any liability. The
warranty also becomes void if non-genuine
spare parts are used.
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 4-33 (5270 C and 6300 C
models) and on page 4-37 (5270 C-AL and 6300
C-AL models).
Always use genuine AGCO parts.

1.3 ECOLOGY: INFORMATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Soil, air and water are essential to agriculture and to
all life on earth. PROTECT THEM. In areas where
no local regulations impose standards for the use
and disposal of chemicals and petrochemical
products required by modern technology, all
necessary precautions must be adopted to avoid
any risk of pollution.
The following guidelines may be helpful:
• Find out about the legal requirements in your
country and comply strictly with them.
• If no regulations are in force, ask your Dealer
about the effects of lubricants, fuels, antifreeze
mixtures, cleaners, etc. on people and
environment; also ask how to store, use and
dispose of such products correctly. In most
cases, agricultural advisers will be able to
answer your questions satisfactorily.
Instructions:
1.) When refuelling the machine, take all
necessary precautions to avoid fuel spillage. In
particular, avoid using pressurised containers
or fuel supply systems, as these are unsuitable.
2.) As a rule, avoid any skin contact with liquid
fuels, lubricants, acids, solvents, etc. 
Most of these products contain substances
potentially injurious to health.
3.) Do not dispose of lubricants by burning
(they contain substances which may evolve
gases injurious to health).
4.) Whenever possible, use biodegradable oil for
lubricating the chains, as this oil cannot be
collected. 
In many countries, biodegradable rape oil and
other vegetable lubricants are available on the
market.
5.) Avoid spillage while draining oil, brake fluid,
coolant etc. from the engine, gearbox and
hydraulic system. Collect the fluids in suitable
containers and dispose of them properly,
according to regulations in force.
6.) Modern coolants and mixtures, e.g. antifreeze
and other additives, must be replaced every
two years. Never let them drain into the
ground; collect and dispose of them safely.
7.) Never open or modify the air-conditioning
system. It contains gases which must not be
released in the atmosphere. Contact your
Dealer or a specialist who has the correct
equipment for emptying and recharging the
system and for carrying out any required
maintenance or repair.
8.) Immediately repair any leaks or defects in the
engine cooling or hydraulic system to prevent
any risk of pollution.
9.) Never increase the pressure in a pressurised
system. This may cause the components to
burst.
10.) When welding, protect the hoses properly
against welding spatters that could damage or
weaken hoses and sleeves, resulting in oil and
coolant leaks.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Most agricultural accidents can be avoided by
observing simple safety rules.
ROAD TRANSPORT
Combine road transport
1.) The combine may be operated only by
responsible personnel, trained and authorised
to work with the machine. Avoid operating the
combine when physically unfit; it is better to
interrupt work than to risk an accident.
2.) In many countries (e.g. Italy and France) a
driving licence is required if the combine is to
be driven on public roads.
3.) Operators should familiarise themselves with
the provisions of the Road Traffic Acts and of
the regulations thereunder in order to ensure
that, when taking the combine on public roads,
they comply with the relevant statutory
requirements. They should keep a suitable
speed for road and traffic conditions and
ensure that all the machine safety devices (if
required) are fitted and working properly. 

The grain tank must be empty and the
unloading auger must be turned in.
4.) For safety reasons, the two brake pedals must
be latched when travelling on roads. To hold
the machine on inclined ground, the brakes
must be used (the braking effect of the
hydrostatic drive, only, is not sufficient).
5.) When travelling on roads, make sure that the
rotating beacons and the other additional
signals required to warn that the vehicle is
abnormally large and slow-moving, are
working properly.
6.) When driving on roads, turn the cab access
ladder forward. 
When entering and leaving the combine always
use the ladders, handrails and the handles
provided. It is strictly forbidden to ride on the
access ladders to the cab, engine
compartment and grain tank when the machine
is moving.
7.) On the left-hand side of the operator seat there
is an additional seat that can be used by a
trainee during harvest. No other persons are
allowed on the machine.
¥
CAUTION: This seat is not intended for
children.
In road transport, one person employed for
agricultural jobs is allowed in the passenger
seat, provided this is permitted by local
regulations and provided that a seat for
transport of a passenger on public roads is in
accordance with the combine documentation.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Operator's Manual Combines FENDT 5270-6300- EN - LA327184015 - 11/2007 1-11
8.) It is advisable to keep a first-aid kit on hand.
9.) Do not brake abruptly as this could cause the
machine to swerve.
10.) When driving downhill, never exceed 20 km/h
and always stay in gear; never change into
neutral. 
On steep slopes, change into a lower gear:
please see relevant specifications on
page 1-37 of this section. 
Gradually engage the multifunction lever.
Avoid abrupt turns when driving up or downhill
or across steep slopes.
11.) In countries where travelling on roads with the
table attached is allowed when circumstances
permit, the table must be secured against
lowering by engaging the safety stops on the
hydraulic cylinders and locking the main crop
elevator adapter.
¥
DANGER: Risk of electrocution.
12.) Beware of overhead lines and check that the
combine can easily pass under without
touching the lines, particularly if equipped with
an antenna. Take particular care when driving
through underpasses; make sure the machine
is able to pass through easily. In case of
contact between the machine and the power
supply line, the following procedure must be
adopted:
a) Disengage all drives.
b) Switch off the engine.
c) Apply the parking brake.
d) Ensure that you can leave the operator
seat safely without touching the electrical
cables.
e) Jump from the last step, making sure there
is no contact of body parts, ground and
machine.
f) Do not touch the machine until the power
has been cut off. Anyone approaching the
machine must be informed not to touch it.
g) Ask the power station to cut off the power.
13.) When driving on the road at night, the front
headlights must be dipped so that the low
beam line hits the ground no further than 10 m
in front of the vehicle. The rotating beacons
must always be operating, even when there is
no need for visual signalling and lighting
devices. Switch off the work lights.
14.) Before driving on public roads, ensure the
machine is equipped for road transport (see
page 2-51).

GENERAL INFORMATION
1-12 Operator's Manual Combines FENDT 5270-6300- EN - LA327184015 - 11/2007
15.) When driving on public roads towing the
cutting table, ensure that the local traffic
regulations (lights, correctly fitted trailer hitch
etc.) are complied with. Ensure the cutter bar
protection shield is fitted.
Parking the Combine
¥
DANGER: Risk of squeezing, cutting or
getting trapped.
1.) Never leave the cutting table in raised position
when the combine is stationary.
2.) Always park the combine on level ground. If
parking on level ground is not possible, park
the combine across the slope, engage first
gear and apply the handbrake before stopping
the engine. If it is not possible to park as
described above, proceed as follows:
• Downhill parking: Engage the lowest
reverse gear. On machines with hydrostatic
drive, pull the multifunction lever slightly
backward until the drive engages, switch off
the engine and lock the parking brake. Get
off the machine and place sprags (if
available) or a solid object of a suitable size
in front of the traction wheels.
• Uphill parking: Engage the first gear, push
the multifunction lever forward until the
drive engages, switch off the engine and
pull the parking brake. Get off the machine
and place sprags (if available) or a solid
object of a suitable size behind the traction
wheels.
In any case, before leaving the combine
unattended, switch off the engine, remove
the ignition key and lower the cutting table.
Always keep the parking brake in good repair to
ensure it is capable of holding the machine on
inclinations up to 18-20% max. both uphill and
downhill when the grain tank is empty. Sprags
under the wheels will hold the machine uphill
and downhill provided the ground is sufficiently
firm. Sprags are supplied even for countries
where they are not required by law. The sprags
may be used only as additional safety not as
parking means, on inclinations of more than
18-20%.

FIELD OPERATIONS
¥
DANGER: To provide a better view, certain
illustrations in this manual show the
machine with the safety guards removed.
However, the machine should never
operate in this condition. 
Keep all guards in place.
1.) Before starting work the operator should
familiarise himself thoroughly with all machine
controls.
2.) Always drive the combine at a speed which,
depending on ground conditions, provides the
necessary safety. When working on rough
ground proceed with greatest care reducing
speed to ensure stability.
¥
DANGER: Risk of overturning.
3.) When taking the combine to work on slopes,
the operator must be thoroughly familiar with
machine controls and with working on sloping
grounds. Drive at slow speed, in particular
while turning and when the grain tank is full.
Ensure that the ground is sufficiently firm
with no sudden surface changes and that
the tyres have enough grip on the ground.
¥
DANGER: Risk of electrocution.
4.) Beware of overhead lines and check that the
machine can easily pass under without
touching the lines, particularly if the unloading
tube is turned out (see page 1-11).
5.) Proceed with greatest care when working with
the wheels close to the edge of ditches or
steep drops.
6.) If the machine tends to tilt forward when
working on slopes, lower the cutting table
completely.
7.) Avoid turning at high speeds.
¥
DANGER: Risk of squeezing, cutting or
getting trapped.
8.) If any moving part becomes blocked or
jammed, release it only when the engine is
switched off and all drives have come to a
complete stop. Never push the crop into the
main crop elevator by hand or feet. This
could result in danger to life or severe injury.
¥
DANGER: Risk of breathing in dust.
9.) Threshing dust may cause allergic lung
diseases. The dust may also contain residues
of pesticides injurious to health. Keep the cab
door shut when threshing. Wear a protection
mask when carrying out service work involving
exposure to dust (cab filters, rotary screen etc.)
and when working with compressed air.
10.) Keep a fire extinguisher within easy reach.
Check the extinguisher at the intervals
prescribed by national law. Replace or
recharge it whenever it has been used, even if
only partially.
The type of extinguisher approved for Europe
contains 6 kg of extinguishing agent and
belongs to fire class ABC. 
A 160 mm Ø extinguisher is recommended
since a suitable bracket is already fitted on the
machine, near the hydraulic control valve.

1.) Before inspecting, cleaning, adjusting or
servicing combine and table (grain or maize),
always ensure that the engine is stopped, the
brakes are applied and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
2.) To lift one side of the machine (for example to
remove a wheel), use lifting equipment with
suitable capacity, e.g. a column hydraulic jack
or a lift with a minimum capacity of 10,000 kg.
3.) Pay special attention while removing
preloaded parts.
¥
DANGER: Risk of shocks.
It is strictly forbidden to loosen the nut
fastening the cylinder variator pulley
without using proper tools. This operation
may be carried out only by your Dealer's
skilled staff.
4.) Work on tyres requires correct tools and expert
knowledge. An incorrect assembly can
seriously compromise your safety. When in
doubt, refer to specialised staff.
5.) Before refitting the wheels, ensure that the
contact surfaces of wheel rim and final drive
hub are perfectly clean (remove paint); check
that the thread of bolts and nuts is in perfect
condition. The front wheel nuts must be
tightened to 550 Nm (56 kgm) crosswise and
the rear wheel nuts to 304 Nm (31 kgm). 
Check that the nuts are sufficiently tightened
after the first working hours and then at least
every 80 hours. It is advisable to check, at least
once a day, that no parts are loose.
6.) Do not carry out any work (inspection or
maintenance) on the machine when the wheels
have been removed, unless the machine is
properly supported.
¥
DANGER: Risk of high pressure fluid
splashes.
7.) The hydraulic, hydrostatic and diesel oil
injection systems can be pressurised.
Maintenance work on the systems may be
carried out only by specially trained staff.
8.) Before working on any part of the electrical
system, remove the battery ground cable or
switch off the main battery switch.

21.) While operating the combine, pay special
attention to correct function and the efficiency
of the braking system, checking the oil level in
the tank and replacing friction pads before they
wear out completely.
¥
DANGER: Risk of explosion.
22.) It is strictly forbidden to modify a hydraulic
accumulator by mechanical machining,
welding, etc. For the accumulator inspection or
replacement, refer to your local Dealer.
Engine
1.) Never start the engine if battery recharging
equipment is connected to the machine.
2.) Always keep the engine and the engine
compartment clean. Dust, diesel oil, oil and
accumulated straw are highly flammable. For
the same reason, also keep the transmission
housing and the brake system clean.
¥
DANGER: Risk of breathing in toxic gases.
3.) Never operate the engine in an enclosed area
without ensuring proper ventilation, since
highly toxic exhaust gases are generated.
