DO 118 SL MAXI - 78 CLASSIC

Before commissioning power transmission (machines with mechanical drive) The chassis is driven by the motor on the left side of the machine via the front and control drive. The V-belt control drive allows infinitely variable speed regulation in all gears. There is a single-disk dry clutch between the control drive and the manual transmission. The transmission has three forward gears and one reverse gear. Power is transferred from the manual transmission and differential to the drive wheels via drive shafts and axle gears. (Fig. 48)

Steer The hydrostatic steering makes the combine harvester easy to steer with the rear axle. Be careful when driving on roads and on tight corners: The harvester swings out at the back! The function of the steering is retained even when the engine is switched off. However, much more force must be expended.

Braking

Basic setting and threshing Use the tilt push button (60) to operate the electric motor (E) for only a short time and never for longer than 10 seconds. The starter cable for the reversing drive is routed to the control panel via the relay and switch of the cutter drive. This ensures that the reversing drive can only be operated when the motor is running and the cutter drive is switched off. TAKE NOTE! Before operating the reversing drive, the cutting unit must be completely stationary. Release the reel into the lowest position. As a result, a backlog on the feed screw can be avoided. (Fig. 35 and 36) When the reel is completely set back, it must be raised slightly so that the reel tines do not reach into the feed roller.

Basic setting and threshing Claas Auto-Contour Automatic cutting height control with cross-cutting unit adjustment Working method: With the rotary knob (53) of the setpoint transmitter, the desired cutting height of up to approx. 150 mm can be pre-selected. Auto-Contour is switched on by tapping the push button (4) on the multi-function handle. The cutting unit automatically adjusts itself to bumps in the ground along and across the direction of travel. As soon as the specified target value on the setpoint transmitter (53) is exceeded or fallen below, the sensors (S) on the left and right sides of the cutting unit report the deviating values of the microelectronics (AVENIR). This switches the corresponding electromagnetic valves, which hydraulically brings the cutting unit into the correct position. When the sensors have reached the set value, the microelectronics switch off the solenoid valves. With cutting heights above ca. 150 mm, the handles (T) under the cutting unit do not have sufficient ground contact, which affects control accuracy. If the cutting unit glides across the ground on the sliders in the case of stored grain, the sensor on the right cutting cylinder regulates the amount of relief selected by the driver. The cutting tool relief can be changed while in use on the rotary knob (53) and read from the display (22) on the threshing transformer. The sensors on the cutting unit only take over the lateral control of the cutting unit. By pressing the push button (1 or 2) cutter “Raise and Lower” is switched off Auto-Contour. (Fig. 61 to 65) TAKE NOTE! The numbers 0 - 10 of the setpoint generator (52 and 53) and the displays (21 and 22) are not cutting heights, but only indicative values for which the respective cutting height can be determined.

Cutting height selection with automatic control (machines with auto contour) Working method: With the rotary knob (52) of the setpoint transmitter, the desired cutting height of over 150 mm can be pre-selected. By tapping the push button (3) on the multi-function handle, the cutting height selection is switched on. The microelectronics switch the electromagnetic valve until the sensor (L) on the intake channel has reached the set value, i.e. the preselected cutting height. Cutting height selection remains switched on until it is switched off manually by manually pressing the “Raise and Lower” cutting buttons (1 or 2). When the touch brackets (T) come into contact with the ground, the cutting unit is readjusted transversely to the direction of travel via the sensors (S). If both handles are actuated, e.g. when driving over a bump, the cutting unit is automatically raised. By tapping on the push button (3), the cutting unit is lowered and brought back to the preselected cutting height. As soon as the cutting unit has reached the preselected cutting height, this can be read from the display (21) on the threshing information desk. (Fig. 61 to 65)

Check the adjustment of the cutting unit relief springs and adjust if necessary TAKE NOTE! The cutting unit relief springs have been adjusted at the factory. See group 2 “Mount the cutting machine hydraulic cylinder”. Install the cutter. Lower the cutter so that the runners are about 100 mm above the ground. The distance (Y) between the cylinder plates and the nuts should now be 5 mm. Adjust the relief springs if necessary. To do this, adjust the preload of the relief springs (E) on the hexagon socket bolts (W) so that the gap (Y) between cylinder plates and nuts is 5 mm. Adjust the screws (W): Increase distance = screw in reduce distance = remove screws (Fig. 66, 67 and 68)

Check the cutter suspension and smooth running of the inclined conveyor suspension With the Auto-Contour or Contour system switched off, lower the cutting unit so that the runners are about 100 mm above the ground. The distance (Y) between the cylinder plates and the nuts should now be 5 mm. If necessary, adjust the preload of the relief springs (E) on the hexagon socket bolts (W) accordingly. Then raise the cutting unit as high as possible by hand and release it again. The cutting unit must now fall back to the previously set height. If this is not the case, possible frictional resistances on the inclined conveyor and cutting unit cylinder suspension may have to be removed with lubricant. (Fig. 66, 67 and 68)

Set cutting height display The cutter height indicator transmitter (G) is mounted on the right side of the intake channel. Lower the cutter so that the runners are 100 mm above the ground. After loosening the mounting screws (B), adjust the transmitter (G) so that the pointer on the cutting height indicator (21) is centered between the 1st and 2nd The line is there. Control position: Lower the cutting unit so that the runners come into slight contact with the ground. The pointer of the section height indicator (21) must now be a pointer width greater than “0". After adjustment, retighten the mounting screws. (Fig. 65 and 69) Use with corn picking attachment: When used with corn picking attachment, the stop (Q) must be in position (2). For grain cutter, set stop (Q) to position (1). (Fig. 69)

Discharge notice The sensor (S) on the right blade cylinder of the relief indicator cannot be adjusted. When threshing, lower the cutting unit with the hydraulic control unit to such an extent that the pointer of the display (22) moves in the upper range at “9 - 10”. TAKE NOTE! The farther the pointer falls in the “0" direction, the higher the contact pressure of the cutter on the ground. High contact pressure = high wear of the cutting unit blades (Fig. 65 and 70).

Set the cutting unit lowering speed The drop speed of the cutter can be set on the lower choke at (V) on the 3/3-way solenoid valve. With warm hydraulic oil running, adjust the reductor on the electromagnetic valve so that the cutter drops down to the floor from a fully raised position in approximately 5 to 6 seconds. To adjust, loosen the locknut. Screw in the adjustment screw, the cutting unit falls more slowly. Remove the adjustment screw, the cutter falls faster. After adjustment, tighten the lock nut again (Fig. 71).
