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.
The information below mainly refers to the Federal
Republic of Germany.
Before driving on public roads, the self-propelled working machine usually needs an operating permit and a
special approval.
When driving the self-propelled working machine on
public roads and lanes, all conditions of the operating
permit and of the special approval must be observed.
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 approvals.
Objects to be carried on the machine
A warning triangle must be carried on all self-propelled
working machines.
On all commercially used machines, a warning
triangle, a warning light and a first-aid box must be
carried along.
Furthermore, at least one wheel chock must be carried
on vehicles with an allowed total weight above 4 t.
CLAAS self-propelled working machines are usually
equipped with 1 rigid or 2 folding wheel chocks. These
may be used on the front wheels only.

1 Introduction
1.1 General Information
67077
Excess-width machines
In case of excess-width self-propelled working
machines (width exceeding 3 m across tyres), an individual operating permit based on an individual expert's
opinion, a special approval according to § 70, sect. 1
of the German Regulations Authorising the Use of
Vehicles for Road Traffic and a special approval
according to § 29 of the German Regulations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic must be
carried along.
All conditions and notes specified there must be
observed. Especially the information regarding the
marking of excess-width road vehicles must be complied with (two red/white marker boards each at the
front and rear, two amber flashing warning beacons).
The granting of the special approval and permits is
subject to different regulations in every Federal State.
Information can usually be obtained from your road
traffic authorities in charge.
Additional weights
Self-propelled machines with rear axle steering and fitted with front attachments approved by CLAAS must
be equipped with additional weights on the rear axle
when driving on public roads.
This is required in order to prevent the machine from
lifting off at the rear when braking and on slopes and to
maintain the steering function.
The required additional weights can be made up of
implements, rear axle weights and liquid filling in the
rear axle tyres.
Depending on the type of front attachment and the
equipment fitted to the machine, the rear of the selfpropelled machine must be ballasted.
Detailed information on this matter can be obtained
from CLAAS.
Modifications to the machine
When parts of the machine whose condition is prescribed are subsequently modified or installed, the
operation of which may endanger other road users, the
Operating permit (individual operating permit) and the
special approval expire.
To obtain a new individual operating permit, it is necessary to present the machine to the responsible
technical inspection agency (TUEV, DEKRA) in order
to prepare an individual expert's opinion according to
§ 19 of the German Regulations Authorising the Use of
Vehicles for Road Traffic.
If you are in any doubt as to whether this situation
applies in your case, please contact CLAAS as the
manufacturers.
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.
The towing of other trailers in the trailer hitch is not
permitted in self-propelled combine harvesters when
driving on public streets.
Licence plates
All CLAAS self-propelled working machines must be
marked with 3 speed signs at the longitudinal sides
and at the rear according to § 58 of the German Regulations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road
Traffic.
As a self-propelled working machine with a maximum
speed of up to 20 km/h, the machine is only subject to
the operating permit. No official licence plate is
required.
According to § 4 FZV however, the machine must be
permanently fitted with the first and last name and the
place of residence (company and headquarters) of the
vehicle owner on the left side which must be clearly
legible.
As a self propelled working machine with an allowed
maximum speed of above 20 km/h, the machine is
subject to having an operating permit and to having
licence plates fitted.
The need of having licence plates fitted involved regular vehicle inspections by a technical inspection
agency (TUEV, DEKRA).
Warning beacons
When driving on public roads and lanes, the amber
warning beacons may be operated only if this is
expressly specified in the individual operating permit or
in the special approval (e.g. in case of excess-width
vehicles).
Work lights
Always switch off the work lights when driving on public roads and lanes.
Folding front attachments
The subsequent fitting of folding front attachments will
void the individual operating permit of the machine and
its special approval.

1 Introduction
1.1 General Information
67077
To obtain a new individual operating permit, it is necessary to present the machine to the responsible
technical inspection agency (TUEV, DEKRA) in order
to prepare an individual expert's opinion according to
§ 19 of the German Regulations Authorising the Use of
Vehicles for Road Traffic.
The new individual operating permit must be applied
for with the administration office in charge (registration
authority) by presenting the new individual expert's
opinion and the special approval.
To make the preparation of the individual expert's opinion easier for the technical inspection agency, CLAAS
can prepare a sample expert's opinion, stating the
machine type, the serial no. and the year of construction upon request.
Especially the necessary weight increase on the rear
axle must be observed so that the machine will not
come off the ground when braking and its steering
capability is maintained.
When the necessary additional weights are missing,
the technical inspection agency will usually not prepare an individual expert's opinion.
The above does not apply when the machine in question is a new CLAAS self-propelled working machine
with a folding front attachment fitted and the technical
inspection agency has carried out acceptance at the
works.

1.1.5 Note on electronic engine management
Modern, powerful diesel engines such as those used
in CLAAS machines are equipped with an electronic
engine management. The engines as well as the electronic engine management are optimally matched to
the machine in question and the legal requirements in
force regarding the emission of noise and pollutants.
Every intervention into the engine management programmed by the manufacturer results in adverse
changes of the factory-set and optimum interplay of
engine and machine and in failure to comply with both
legal requirements regarding environmental properties and road traffic licensing regulations.
Any subsequent intervention into the electronic engine
management will usually void the Operating permit
and using the machine on public roads will be prohibited. A fine may be imposed to the owner/user of a
machine that has been subsequently fiddled with.
Fiddling with the electronic engine management may
result in an increased risk from an insurance law point
of view, and consequently in loss of insurance cover in
comprehensive and liability insurance.
The manufacturer's warranty shall be excluded in case
of damage to the machine caused by subsequent
interventions. In case the machine was financed,
rented or leased, the forbidden intervention into the
engine management may constitute a violation of the
contract and may cause liability for damages.
CLAAS expressly dissociates from subsequent interventions into the electronic engine management of
CLAAS machines and urgently advises sales partners
and end customers not to carry out such interventions.
If sales partners participate in such interventions, they
may be liable for damage to the machine and any consequential damage.

3.1.3 Intended use
The CLAAS combine harvester is designed exclusively
for professional use in line with the recognised regulations of agricultural practices in agricultural harvesting
of grain.
The combine harvester is a self-propelled harvesting
machine with a fitted front attachment (machine),
which is approved by the manufacturer, and is suitable
and intended for harvesting grain in fields during
travel. Grain here refers to cultivated cereal and legume crops such as wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, rape
seed, maize, durra, soya beans and sunflowers.
3400 0293 210 2 - BA DOMINATOR 150/140/130 - 12/09
3 Safety
3.1 General Information
67079
The combine harvester takes the grain from the front
attachment and conveys it via a conveying unit to the
threshing and separating units. There, the grains are
separated from straw and chaff. The straw and chaff
are deposited on the field using the distribution units
behind the combine harvester. The grain is stored temporarily in the combine harvester's grain tank and then
loaded on a transport vehicle by a conveying unit.
When the combine harvester is driven on public roads,
a front attachment approved by the manufacturer can
be fitted on the front, depending on the applicable regulations, and driven with the combine harvester, or a
trailer approved by the manufacturer that is loaded
with the front attachment can be coupled to the trailer
hitch and towed.
The machine may only be used, maintained and serviced by persons who are familiar with the machine and
briefed on the hazards that may arise as a result of the
machine's functions.
Compliance with the conditions of operation, maintenance and servicing as specified in the operator's
manual and by the manufacturer also constitute
essential elements for the intended use.
The relevant accident prevention regulations, all other
generally recognised regulations on safety and occupational medicine and the road traffic regulations must
be observed by users and owners at all times.
Any use other than this is considered "unintended",
and the manufacturer is not liable for any resulting
damage. All liability in this case is borne by the user.
For specific details, you may request information on
intended use in exceptional situations from CLAAS.

3.3.1 General information on safety decals
The danger zones on the machine or on the front
attachment which cannot be eliminated by design or
protective measures, are identified by safety decals.
These safety decals help to alert persons to hazards
which can cause personal injury.
The safety decals consist of two components:
– Part 1 shows the risk of injury in a warning
triangle.
– Part 2 shows how injury and accidents can be pre-
vented by appropriate actions.
The pictures on the safety decals consist of generally
understandable pictograms. As far as possible, the
safety decals must be located in close proximity to the
hazardous area.
The original CLAAS safety decals are equipped with
the CLAAS part number and the date of manufacture.
The positioning and meanings of the safety decals are
explained below:
– When ordering, please use the 10-digit CLAAS
part number given ahead of every safety decal,
– the safety decal number given in ( ) shows the
correct position of the safety decals in the associ-
ated picture,
– followed by an explanation of the safety decal
graphics in text form.
Danger!
Hazard points on the machine.
