Use and
Maintenance
Thank you for choosing a CLAAS tractor.
In this guide you will find the instructions for use and
maintenance that you must know to get the best service from
your tractor.
This document is not to be considered as contractual. CLAAS
has a policy of continuous technical improvement to all their
products, and therefore reserve the right to change without
notice and at any time the details contained in this booklet.
If you are still unsure about any points, the technicians of the
CLAAS network will be pleased to give you any additional
information you may require.
The description of the different models contained in this
manual was established from technical characteristics known
at the time of writing the document. The manual contains all
existing equipment (standard or optional) for these models,
and their presence in the tractor depends on the version and
options chosen and on the country of sale.
Important: See chapter "M". Servicing operations during
the guarantee period are mandatory; failure to carry then
out will nullify the contractual guarantee.
Failure to observe the instructions for use and maintenance
as described in this manual definitively excludes any
possibility of recourse to the CLAAS guarantee system.
CONTENTS

Appropriate use
This tractor has been designed to be used exclusively for
normal agricultural work (appropriate use).
Any use other than that defined above will be considered as
inappropriate and will release the manufacturer from any
liability in the event of damage or injury; the user alone will
bear the risks resulting from such misuse.
Appropriate use also supposes the observance of the
operating, maintenance and repair regulations laid down by
the manufacturer.
The tractor must be used, maintained and repaired only by
persons with a thorough knowledge of the vehicle and aware
of the possible risks.
Specific accident prevention instructions must be observed
as well as general rules concerning technical safety, health
and safety regulations and the highway code.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage
resulting from any modification made to the tractor without

SAFETY
FOREWORD
CLAAS Tractors are designed and built to give you optimum
service over many years. They are designed to provide the
most comfortable and safe working conditions.
However, accidents can easily happen in agricultural work. It
is important to know the dangers and how to avoid them.
We respectively draw your attention to certain aspects
that merit constant attention (non exhaustive list).
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING
Caution is the best guarantee against any risk of
accident.
The driver must be fully familiar with the tractor and must
understand all the controls, their position and their purpose.
This manual must be read carefully.
If the tractor is used by anybody other than the owner, he
must be given all explanations required to allow him to work
safely.
The driving position must be clean (instrument panel, steering
wheel, floor and pedals).
001hsn03
Footsteps must be clean (no mud) to avoid slipping when
climbing or descending.
Use the steps and handles provided when getting into or out
of the tractor.
Before starting the engine, make sure that all controls are in
the neutral position, particularly the power take-off lever.
Only run the engine in well ventilated areas.
Make sure there is nobody nearby before starting the
tractor.
Fully release the handbrake before starting.
Do not start work if the tractor is not working properly.
