1.2 Preface
This Manual
The purpose of this manual is to enable the owner/operator to handle and maintain the combine efficiently. Time spent
in becoming familiar with the Operator's Manual now will save time in the field.
Wide variations in operation conditions make it impossible for the Company to make comprehensive or definite state-
ments in its publications concerning performance and the use of its machines, or to accept liability for any damage which
may result from errors or omissions.
The specifications and illustrations contained in this manual pertain to combines manufactured for specific countries. Due
to differing laws and requirements in various countries, some apparent discrepancies may result between any particular
combine and those depicted in this manual. Some accessories and optional equipment appearing in this manual are not
necessarily available in all territories.
AGCO service
During the warranty period, all maintenance and repair work must be carried out by the AGCO dealer who will carefully
carry out detailed checks of the progress and performance of the new combine.
To obtain best results from an AGCO combine, it is important to continue regular servicing and periodical inspection after
the warranty has expired. All major overhaul work on the combine must be carried out by a local AGCO dealer; an
experienced technician will detect any problems which may arise between two overhauls.
Mechanical staff regularly follow training courses to update their knowledge of the product, maintenance and repair
techniques and the use of special modern tools and equipment for troubleshooting. They receive regular Service Bulletins
and have access to all the workshop manuals and technical publications required to carry out repairs or maintenance
meeting the quality standards required by AGCO.
Warning concerning spare parts
Parts other than original AGCO parts are likely to be of lower quality. AGCO disclaims all liability in the event of loss or
damage arising as a result of such parts being fitted. The manufacturer's warranty may also become void, if such parts
are fitted during the normal warranty period.
Warranty, pre-delivery check and installation
The Company, when selling new goods to its Distributors, gives a warranty which, subject to certain conditions, guaran-
tees that the goods are free from defects in material and workmanship. The Company's Distributors and Dealers are
required to give the benefit of a similar warranty to the first retail purchaser of all new goods supplied by the Company,
and users should inquire of the Distributor or Dealer from whom they purchase as to the terms of the warranty made
available to them.
Before delivering a new combine to the Customer's premises, it is the responsibility of the Distributor to conduct a pre-
delivery check of the machine. This consists of a series of detailed inspections, adjustments and functional checks, which
should ensure that when received by the Customer the combine is ready to start work immediately.
Upon delivery the Distributor is required to instruct the Customer in the basic principles and operating procedures of the
combine. This is termed Combine Installation, which should include instruction on controls and instruments, field set-
tings, maintenance requirements, safety precautions and winter storage, and should preferably be undertaken in the
presence of all who will be concerned with the operation and maintenance of the machine.
This manual is published for World wide distribution, and the availability of equipment shown either as basic or accessory
varies according to the territory in which the combine is to be used. Details of equipment available in your area can be
obtained from your AGCO Distributor/Dealer.
