Introduction
2
This quick reference guide has been produced to aid operators with familiarisation
and settings of CLAAS TUCANO combine harvesters.
CLAAS combines are designed for output and efficiency but this can only be achieved
with correct operation and maintenance of the machine.
This guide is not designed to replace the Operators Manual but merely as a reference
document. More in depth information is available in the Operators Manual.
ALWAYS READ THE OPERATORS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR COMBINE.
Down time costs output
To get the most from the machine, the wheels must be turning. In order to keep
downtime to a minimum, it’s vital that routine maintenance is not neglected. As well
as servicing the machine according to the operator’s manual, a good check of the
machine is essential.
It is false economy to put off the replacement of worn parts until they break. For
example, a cracked knife section will take 5 minutes to change before starting work,
but usually a minimum of 10 minutes output will be lost, once work has begun.
Abbreviations
Throughout this guide the following abbreviations are used:
‘LHS’ and ‘RHS’ refer to the Left Hand Side and Right Hand Side of the machine
respectively, taken from the rear of the machine facing in the direction of travel
APS – Accelerated Pre-Separation, refers to the accelerator drum in front of the main
drum
