1.1 Information
1.1.1 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 should be used as a practical reference guide: It contains all the necessary practical
information for the operation, adjustment and maintenance of your new machine.
Your combine was 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 and/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 machine traveling direction.
Should you require further information about the machine, please do not hesitate to contact your
authorized Dealer. Your Dealer provides specially trained personnel, genuine 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 2006/42/EC. A CE
Declaration of Conformity is supplied with the machine (see specific chapter).
• This manual is published for worldwide distribution, and the availability of equipment shown as standard
or optional 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 of features or adjustments, certain illustrations in this manual may
show an assembly with standard guards, or the guards required by law in different countries, open or
removed.
DANGER:
However, a machine should never be operated in this condition. For your own safety,
always ensure all safety guards are fitted and closed correctly before operating the
machine.
• This Operator’s Manual, along with the Operator’s Manuals provided for the table, the power take-off
shaft and the table trailer, must always be kept in the compartment under the operator's seat for
storage and convenient reference.
1.1.2 Company policy
In accordance with the Company's policy of continuous improvements to its products, the Company
reserves the right to modify and improve its products whenever necessary and to the required extent,
without any obligation to apply such modifications to previously sold products.

M300-M310_EN_327305015
However, in certain cases it may be necessary to fit additional accessories to improve machine
performance or adapt the machine to harvesting special crops.
A list of available accessories is provided in the chapter Optional equipment.
1.1.4 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 authorized 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 an EC certification, which can be provided only by the manufacturer or his qualified and
recognized sub-suppliers.
Non-genuine spare parts have not been tested and are not authorized by the manufacturer.
The use of such equipment may have a damaging effect on the design features of the machine and may
even jeopardize 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 your combine model and serial
number (see chapter Combine identification).
1.1.5 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:
1. If the machine has been used inappropriately.
2. If adjustments and maintenance have not been carried out according to the instructions in this manual.
3. If the failures are caused by the use of non-genuine spare parts or accessories.
4. If damage is the result of carelessness, negligence, inappropriate use of the machine or operational
errors. If the safety devices are removed and/or non-genuine spare parts are used, the warranty
becomes void automatically and the manufacturer disclaims any liability.
The warranty applies only to repair or free replacement of parts proving defective after a careful inspection
by the manufacturer (excluding wear parts and tires), 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.
1.1.6 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 in the chapter Capacities and
specifications of the section Lubrication and maintenance.
Always use genuine AGCO parts, the only parts which bear this trademark:

1.2 Use
1.2.1 Use of the combine
These combines are designed as self-propelled units with a diesel engine.
The machines are manufactured exclusively for usual agricultural purposes, i.e. for harvesting cereal, seed,
rice, maize, soya, etc. by cutting or picking-up the crop, threshing and separating the grains from the ears,
delivering the grains in the grain tank and unloading them into the grain wagon.
Machine performance may be limited by various factors such as harvesting speed, weather conditions,
ground characteristics and the type and degree of ripeness of the crop.
When operating the machine, make sure the cab doors are shut. The operator and instructor (or trainee), if
present, must remain seated in their respective seats with their seatbelts fastened (the operator should
not drive the machine when standing).
The machines must be operated only by skilled operators who know all the machine's functions and
harvesting techniques.
If the ground is uniform and the tires offer sufficient grip, the machine stability is ensured on the following
inclinations:
•20% (11°) longitudinally (uphill and downhill).
• 20% (11°) crosswise.
These combine models are designed for working on level ground to ensure even distribution of the crop
inside the machine. These models HAVE NOT been developed for working on sloping ground.
Forbidden uses
Do not use the machine for tasks or purposes other than those specified in this Manual, on the safety
decals or on other safety information provided with the machine.
The following pages contain recommendations on correct and incorrect use of the machine when traveling
on public roads, during field operations and during maintenance.
Many machine functions relating to safety are managed by the software.
Do not try to modify or replace the software. You risk destroying the machine's settings and the operating
logic.
Such tampering could lead to unpredictable and abnormal behavior, making it unsafe (for the operator(s)
and the machine).
Only your Dealer is authorized to intervene on the machine software.
The machine's maximum speed on the road is limited and controlled by the software. Do not try to change
it.
Table types
These combine harvesters may use FreeFlow or PowerFlow cutting tables.
NOTE:
In this manual, the term "table/s" signifies both the cutting table and the maize header when used
generically. The term "cutting table" refers to the assembly consisting of reel, cutting bar, table auger, etc.
used to harvest grain, barley, rice, soya, etc. The term "maize header" refers to the assembly consisting of
stalk grippers, stripping blades, conveyor chains, etc. used for harvesting maize.
