Introduction
This quick reference guide has been produced to aid operators with
familiarisation and settings of CLAAS LEXION 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/tracks 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.

Safety
Safety is of the utmost importance whilst you are operating and maintaining
your combine harvester. Make sure that all of the risks are assessed to reduce
the likelihood of an accident.
Make sure you are familiar with the controls and operation of the machine and
have read the operators manual.
The combine harvester has many moving parts, guards are designed to keep you
safe, please ensure that all guards are kept in place and in good condition when
operating the machine.
When doing any maintenance work or making adjustments outside of the
machine make sure that the engine is switched off and the battery isolator key is
removed.
If you need to go underneath the front elevator/ cutterbar to make adjustments/
clean concaves, preparation pan, etc. Make sure that the cutterbar lift cylinder
lock is in place.
Some of the maintenance has to be carried out at height, please asses the risk
that this poses and ensure that the task is carried out safely.
When operating the machine be aware of the presence of people particularly in
farmyards, always get someone to help you when reversing in confined areas.
Be aware of the size of your machine, particularly the height, you may be at risk
from contact with overhead power lines and overhead obstructions particularly
but not exclusively when the grain tank lids are up and if extra aerials have been
fitted to your machine.
For more in-depth safety information please consult your operators manual.
Other information is available on the HSE website: www.hse.gov.uk
Always read the Operators Manual before using any new machine.
