1.1.5 Road traffic regulations

When driving the machine on public roads, all condi­tions of the operating permit and of the special
approval must be observed.

Road traffic regulations may vary between countries.
In case of discrepancies between the instructions pro­vided by the manufacturer and the traffic regulations of
the relevant countries, the traffic regulations of the
countries concerned apply.

Documents to be carried on the machine

In addition to his driving licence, the operator must
always carry the original of the operating permit and of
the special approval.

Objects to carry with you

An advance warning triangle is to be carried with you
in all self-propelled work machines.

An advance warning triangle, a warning light and a
first-aid kit are to be carried with you in all commer­cially used machines.

In addition, at least one wheel chock is to be carried
with you in vehicles with a permitted total weight in
excess of 4 t.

As a rule, CLAAS self-propelled work machines are
equipped with 1 rigid or 2 folding wheel chocks. These
must only be used on the front wheels.

Machine with a wide load

In self-propelled work machines with a wide load
(width more than 3 m beyond the width of the tyres),
you must carry with you an individual operating licence
based on an individual approval, a certificate of
exemption in accordance with § 70, para.1 StVZO
(German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations) and an
exception permit in accordance with § 29 StVZO.

1 Introduction

1.1 General Information

29483

All of the requirements and obligations listed in these
documents are to be observed. In particular, the
instructions for indicating road vehicles with a wide
load are to be observed. (Two red and white striped
warning plates each in the front and at the rear, two
yellow, flashing warning lights).

Certificates of exception and exception permits are
issued in each state of Germany according to different
regulations. In general, information regarding this is
provided by your nearest road traffic licensing
department.

Additional weights

When driving on public streets, rear steering self-pro­pelled work machines fitted with front attachments that
have received CLAAS approval must be equipped with
additional weights that act on the steering axle.

This is required in order to maintain steering of the
machine and to prevent it from lifting off at the rear
when braking and on slopes.

The required additional weights can be made up of
implements, rear axle weights and liquid filling in the
rear axle wheels.

The rear of self-propelled work machines is to be bal­lasted in accordance with the type of front attachment
and the equipment on the machine.

Detailed information on this matter can be obtained
from CLAAS.

Changes on the machine

If any parts of the machine are subsequently modified
whose condition is prescribed or the operation of
which (after being modified) could represent a hazard
to other road users, then the vehicle type approval reg­istration shall no longer be valid and application must
be made for a new vehicle type approval registration.
In this case the machine must be presented to the
motor vehicle safety inspection authority responsible
(TÜV) in order to obtain an expert opinion certificate (§
19 section 2 StVZO).

If you are in any doubt as to whether this situation
applies in your case, please contact us as
manufacturers.

Towing a trailer

A trailer for front attachments may be towed in accord­ance with the permissible trailed load.

If a trailer is towed behind the machine, then the cable
for the entire lighting system must be connected and
the good condition of the lighting system assured.

In addition, particular care should be taken to properly
latch the trailer hitch.

1 Introduction

1.1 General Information

29483

The towing of other trailers in the trailer hitch is not
permitted in self-propelled combine harvesters when
driving on public streets.

Identification requirements

All CLAAS self-propelled work machines are to be
labelled, in accordance with § 58 StVZO (German
Road Traffic Licensing Regulations), with 3 speed
signs on the sides and on the back.

As a self-propelled work machine with a permitted
maximum speed of up to 20 km/h, the machine is
only subject to operating licence requirements. A reg­istration plate number is not required.

According to § 4 of the FZV (German Motor Vehicle
Registration Regulation), the machine must be perma­nently and clearly labelled on the left-hand side with
the owner's first and last name as well as the town of
origin (company and registered office).

As a self-propelled work machine with a permitted
maximum speed of over 20 km/h, the machine is
subject to operating licence and registration plate
requirements.

As a part of registration plate requirements, regular
recurrent vehicle inspections are to be carried out by a
technical inspection authority (TÜV, DEKRA).

Warning beacons

When driving on public roads and lanes it is not permit­ted to have warning beacons installed unless the
machine is of excess width.

Work lights

The work lights must be switched off during road
travel!

Folding front attachments

The retrofitting of folding front attachments will cause
the individual operating licence of the machine and the
certificate of exemption to expire.

In order to obtain a renewed individual operating
licence, the machine must be shown to the technical
inspection authority (TÜV, DEKRA) who then issues
individual approval in accordance with § 19 StVZO
(German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations).

A renewed individual operating licence is to be applied
for at the appropriate administrative agency (vehicle
registration office) and requires new individual
approval and a certificate of exemption to be
submitted.

To facilitate the issuance of individual approval for the
technical inspection authority, CLAAS can issue a
sample certificate on request if provided with the
machine type, the machine number and the year of
manufacture.

In particular, the required weight increase on the steer­ing axle is to be observed, in order to maintain steering
and to prevent the machine from lifting off when
braking.

In the event that the required additional weights are
missing, the technical inspection authority will gener­ally not issue an individual approval.

If it is a new CLAAS self-propelled work machine with
fitted folding front attachment and the certification was
carried out at the factory by the technical inspection
authority, then the points mentioned above do not
apply.

5 Structure and function

5.1 CROP TIGER 30

29487

The reel guides the harvested crop into the intake
auger. The harvested crop, which is conveyed through
the intake auger spirals to the centre of the cutterbar,
is guided via the conveyor chains of the feeder unit to
the threshing mechanisms. Foreign objects are caught
by the stone trap. Damage to the threshing mecha­nisms are largely avoided by this.

Threshing and separating mechanism

The threshing and separating rotor and the threshing
and separating cage are used for threshing and sepa­ration. The right-hand section of the cage (approx. 1/3)
is the threshing area, consisting of an adjustable open
threshing concave in which the main threshing process
takes place. Rasp bars on the threshing section, tined
reaping bars on the separating section of the rotor and
twisted bars on the inside of the separating cage move
the material in a spiral shape around the rotor to the
left. The crop swirls around several times through the
cage, in order to achieve a gentle and thorough thresh­ing and separation.

The earth on the grain along with the chaff and broken
straw is separated in the threshing concave and falls
into the trough of the front and rear collecting auger
under the separating cage.

The separating section of the rotor separates out the
grain which is still in the straw. The grain separated
here is also fed into the trough of the front and rear col­lecting auger. The straw is laid out on the field either
through the straw discharge opening on the left of the
machine or through a lateral straw conveyor belt
behind the machine.

Cleaning unit

The grain chaff broken straw mixture, which is con­veyed from the auger spirals of the front and back
collecting auger to the middle, is thrown by the con­veyer paddles of the front and back collecting auger
onto the preparation floor.

Through the swinging movement the grain chaff bro­ken straw mixture is broken up on the preparation floor
and supplied to the sieves simultaneously.

The air blast produced by the cleaning fan carries all of
the light parts (chaff) out the rear of the machine. The
grain fall through the upper and lower sieve into the
trough of the grain auger and are conveyed by the
grain elevator into the grain tank.

All parts that are heavier than the grain and larger than
the chaff are fed via the upper and lower sieve into the
trough of the returns auger. Here they are fed via the
returns elevator back to the collecting auger for
renewed cleaning.

After swinging out the grain tank unloading tube, the
grain tank can be quickly emptied directly into a wait­ing trailer or one that is being towed alongside.

10.3.5 Installing / removing the stone trap and stone trap feed plate

The stone trap feed plate (1) must be installed when
used, for example in maize and therefore covers the
stone trap. (Install only if crop is picked up without
stones and other foreign objects). This provides an
ideal crop flow for maize.

With the stone trap feed plate removed, the stone
trap (2) catches stones and other foreign objects up to

a particular size, this protecting the threshing mecha­nisms against damage.

The stone trap / stone trap feed plate may need to be
installed, depending on the crop. Refer to the Thresh-

ing chart.
