GENERAL
This manual has been prepared to assist you in the correct procedure for running in, driving, operating,
adjusting and maintaining your new machine.
This machine has been designed and built to give maximum performance, economy and ease of operation
under a wide variety of crops and conditions.
Prior to delivery, your machine was carefully inspected both at the factory and by your dealer to ensure that
it reaches you in optimum condition. To maintain this condition and ensure trouble-free operation it is
important that routine services, as specified in this manual, are carried out at the recommended intervals.
Before attempting to drive or operate your machine, read this manual carefully (especially the chapter
covering the Safety Precautions) and keep it in a convenient place for future reference.
’’Left” and ’’right” used throughout this manual are determined from the rear, facing in the direction of travel
of the machine during operation.
If at any time you require advice concerning your machine, do not hesitate to contact your authorised dealer.
He has factory-trained personnel, genuine service parts and the necessary equipment to carry out your
service requirements.
IMPORTANT:
This machine has been designed and built according to the European Directive 98/37/EC.
Always use genuine New Holland Service parts or parts matching at least the same quality, reliability and
functionality as the equivalent original Service Parts when servicing and repairing your machine and do not
modify your machine without a written permission of the manufacturer. Failure to do so will void the
responsibility of the manufacturer.
An EC Declaration of Conformity is separately delivered with your machine.
Store this EC Declaration into the storage space for your Operator’s Manual
(refer to section 2 − Controls, Instruments and Operation).
The maximum road speed of your machine is limited. Do not try to change it.
Check local road legislation before driving the machine on public roads.
When operating interchangeable New Holland built equipment, ensure the equipment is CE approved.
As this publication is distributed throughout our international network, the equipment illustrated, either as
standard or as an accessory, may vary according to the country in which the equipment is to be used. Low
cost configurations, as chosen by the customer, may deviate from the specifications given.
Several figures in this manual show the safety guarding or the additional guards, legally required by certain
countries, open or removed to illustrate better a particular feature or adjustment. The machine must not be
used in this condition. For your own safety, ensure that all guards are closed or replaced before operating
the machine.

OWNER ASSISTANCE
We at New Holland and your New Holland dealer want you to be completely satisfied with your investment.
Normally your dealer’s Service Department will handle any problems with your equipment. Sometimes,
however, misunderstanding can occur. If your problem has not been handled to your satisfaction, we suggest
contacting the owner or General Manager of the dealership, explaining the problem, and requesting
assistance. When additional assistance is needed, your dealer has direct access to our branch office.

COMPANY POLICY
Company policy, which is one of continuous improvement, reserves the right to make changes in design and
specification at any time without notice and without obligation to modify units previously built.
All data given in this book is subject to production variations.
Operating and service messages displayed on the electronic operating panel (monitor), may vary from what
is shown in the Operator’s Manual. Should this occur adhere to the latest instruction on the electronic
operating panel (monitor).
Dimensions and weights are approximate only and the illustrations do not necessarily show the machine in
standard condition. For exact information about any particular machine please consult your Dealer.

ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS
Your machine has been designed to operate in a wide variety of crops and conditions. Nevertheless
additional equipment may, in certain cases, be required to improve the machine performance. A list of this
additional equipment is given in the ’’Accessories” section in this manual.

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Genuine New Holland parts and accessories have been specifically designed for New Holland machines.
We would like to point out that “nongenuine” parts and accessories have not been examined and released
by New Holland. The installation and/or use of such products could have negative effects upon the design
characteristics of your machine and thereby affect its safety. New Holland is not liable for any damage caused
by the use of ’’nongenuine” parts and accessories.
Rely on your authorised dealer to supply you with genuine New Holland parts only. These parts are covered
by our warranty and will give you the best performance.
When ordering service parts, always quote the model and serial number, as well as the year of manufacture
printed on the manufacturer’s identification plate (refer to the section “General Information and Safety” in
this manual).

LUBRICANTS
Your dealer sells a selection of specially formulated lubricants based on own engineering specifications.
Recommended lubricants for your machine are listed on the inside back cover of this manual.

WARRANTY
Your machine is warranted according to legal rights in your country and the contractual agreement with the
selling dealer. No warranty shall, however, apply if the machine has not been used, adjusted and maintained
according to the instructions given in this Operator’s Manual.
It is prohibited to carry out any modifications to the machine unless specifically authorised, in writing, by a
New Holland representative.

CLEANING YOUR MACHINE
Your machine is a state-of-the-art machine with sophisticated, electronic controls. Even though every
precaution has been taken to safeguard electronic components and connections, the pressure generated
by some pressure washers is such that complete protection against water ingress cannot be guaranteed.
When using a high pressure washer, do not stand too close to the machine and avoid directing the jet at
electronic components, electrical connections, breathers, seals, filler caps, etc.

IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Soil, air and water are vital factors of agriculture and of life in general. Where legislation does not yet rule
the treatment of some of the substances, which are required by advanced technology, common sense should
govern the use and the disposal of the products of a chemical and a petrochemical nature.
The following are recommendations, which may be of assistance:
Become acquainted with and respect the relative legislation applicable in your country.
Where no legislation exists, obtain information from suppliers of oils, fuels, antifreeze, cleaning agents, etc.
for their effect on man and nature and for safe ways of storage, usage and disposal. Agricultural consultants
will, in many cases, be able to help you as well.

HELPFUL HINTS
Avoid filling fuel tanks using jerrycans or inappropriate pressurized fuel delivery systems which may cause
considerable spillage.
In general, avoid skin contact with all oils, acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain substances which can
be harmful to your health.
Use biodegradable oils for chain lubrication where oils cannot be recuperated. In many countries rapeseed
oils or other agro-based lubricants have become available.
Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contaminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating systems.
Avoid spillage when draining off used engine coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic oils, brake
fluids, etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids, fuels or coolant mixtures with lubricants. Store them safely until
they can be disposed of in a proper way to comply with local legislation and available resources. They should
not be allowed to get into the soil but should be collected and disposed of safely.
Do not open the air-conditioning system yourself; it contains gases, which should not be released into the
air. Your dealer has a special extractor for this purpose and will have to do the recharging of the system
anyway.
Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or the hydraulic system immediately.
Do not increase the pressure in a pressurized circuit as this may lead to bursting of the components.
Protect hoses during welding as penetrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them, causing the loss
of oils, coolant, etc.
Battery recycling
Batteries and electric accumulators contain various components which can damage the environment if they
are not properly recycled after usage. New Holland strongly recommends that you return all used batteries
(starting batteries and small ”dry” batteries which may be used in electric or electronic systems) to your New
Holland dealer who will ensure proper disposal or recycling. In certain countries this is a legal requirement.

INTENDED USE
The TC combine harvesters are designed as self
propelled units and powered by an onboard diesel
engine.
These machines are intended to be used for
agricultural purposes on cultivated land to harvest
cereal crops, small seed crops, maize, soya beans,
etc., by cutting or picking up from a swath, threshing
and separating the grain from the straw and
temporarily storing it until it is unloaded into vehicles
for transport.
PROHIBITED USAGE
No parts or attachments should be fitted to this
machine, which have not been released by
NEW HOLLAND. They might affect machine
operation, safety of the user or other people, stability
or wear characteristics of the machine. They may
also void the homologation approval obtained for
your country.

SECTION 1 − GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Most farm machinery accidents can be avoided by
the observance of a few simple safety precautions.
1. The machine must only be used by a skilled operator familiar with all the controls and harvesting
techniques on cultivated land with slopes up to
maximum 26% (15_) uphill and downhill and
maximum 36% (19_) sideways [provided good
even ground and sufficient tyre adherence conditions exist].
2. Never permit anyone other than the operator to
ride on the combine.
7. Never exceed 20 km/h when driving downhill. If
necessary, change into a lower gear before starting the descent.

3. Before starting the engine, ensure everyone is
clear of the combine.
Warn bystanders by sounding the horn several
times.
4. Keep children away from and off the combine at
all times.
5. No-one should be standing on the ladders or platforms when the machine is moving.
6. Never brake abruptly to avoid tipping of the machine.

8. Avoid making turns at high speed.
9. Before operating the combine ensure that all
safety guards are installed.
10. Never step on places on the machine which are
not foreseen with anti-slip strips.
11. Check the wheel nuts torque daily during the first
week of operation and thereafter on a weekly
basis. Tighten as described in “SECTION 8 SPECIFICATIONS”.

1−4

SECTION 1 − GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
12. The life and performance of the tyres depends
largely upon maintaining the correct pressure.
Keep the tyres inflated to the pressures given in
“SECTION 8 − SPECIFICATIONS”.
13. Never enter the grain tank while the combine engine is running. Use a wooden clearing club if the
grain tank unloading auger becomes clogged.
Take utmost care not to be pulled into the grain
tank in case unplugging is required.

16. Keep hands away from moving parts of the combine.
17. Keep the fire extinguisher within easy reach of
the operator. Ensure to replace it by a similar type
of extinguisher or have it checked or refilled after
every usage and/or date of expiry.

14. Never work around the combine in loose clothing
that might catch in any of the moving parts.
15. Never change or tamper the engine software as
this will invalidate the warranty and the homologation of your machine.

18. Never step on the cab roof.
19. Combine dust can cause ’’farmer’s lung’’ disease. It may also contain nocive spraying residues. Keep the cab door and window closed during operation. Wear a dust mask when cleaning
the air filters or accumulated dust in the combine.

STARTING UP THE COMBINE

1. Never attempt to start up or manoeuvre the
combine unless you are sitting in the operator’s
seat.
2. Before starting up the combine (e.g. the first time
after a long standstill period), make sure that
there are no detached loose part in the
attachment, the drive line area and/or on the
rotary dust screen.

3. Before starting the engine, always make sure
that the multifunction handle and the gearshift
selector switch are in NEUTRAL position, and
the safety-on-the-road tumbler switch is in
ROAD position.
4. Never run the engine in an enclosed area without
ensuring adequate ventilation as exhaust fumes
are toxic and, if inhaled, may be fatal.

SECTION 1 − GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
TRAVELLING ON PUBLIC ROADS
1. Make sure the safety-on-the-road tumbler switch
is in ROAD position.
2. Always observe the local regulations. Should the
width of the attachment be wider than the
permitted road width, contact the local
authorities for assistance or licences.
3. Observe traffic regulations, adapt your speed to
road and traffic conditions and ensure all lights
are working properly.
4. Where required by local traffic regulations,
ensure the hazard warning plates are fitted at the
front and the rear of the machine.
5. Use the revolving flash lights to indicate the
vehicle has abnormal size and is slow-moving.

10. Always depress the brake pedal gently to avoid
tipping of the machine.

CAUTION
Before driving on the road with a header attached
smaller than 4 meter (foldable grain header or flip-up
maize header), contact your local dealer for:


Counterweights



Additional headlights

11. Never rest your feet on the brake pedals when
the machine is in motion.

6. Never drive on public roads with the operating
lights and spotlight switched on.

12. When manoeuvring the machine off the field,
always raise the attachment fully to avoid contact
with obstructions.

7. Dip the headlights when meeting a vehicle at
night. Make sure the lights are adjusted to
prevent blinding the driver of an oncoming
vehicle.

13. The grain tank must be empty when driving on
the road. Ensure that the unloading tube is
locked in its closed position.

8. Avoid taking corners at high speed.

14. When driving on public roads, either with the
grain header loaded on a trailer and attached to
the rear of the combine, or with the grain header
still attached to the combine (provided local
legislation allows), the knife should be
safeguarded by means of a knife guard,
available as an accessory (refer to the Grain
Header Operator’s Manual).
15. When driving on public roads, either with the
grain header loaded on a trailer and attached to
the rear of the combine, or with the grain header
still attached to the combine (provided local
legislation allows), always be aware and conscious of its size.

9. Before travelling on the road, link the brake
pedals together with the coupling provided.

Towing the combine is not recommended, but if it
must be towed, the following steps must be taken:
1. In case of hydrostatic drive: Move
multi-function handle into neutral position.

the

2. Select neutral gear.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Provide adequate warning signals to make other
road users aware that the combine is being
towed.
5. Tow at a maximum speed of 16 km/h (10mph).

NOTE:
1. Towing the combine with hydrostatic drive and
selected gear will immediately lead to irreparable
hydrostatic damage.
2. Should the combine become stuck in the mud,
always tow the combine with a cable or chain
attached to the traction axle. Do not tow the
combine with a cable attached to the steering
axle.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE DIMMED LIGHTS
The dimmed lights are “factory adjusted” with a level
standing combine.
However to adjust the dimmed lights, proceed as
follows:
1. Park the combine on a perfect level surface and
about 5 meter (16 ft) from a perpendicular square
dark wall.
2. Lower the straw elevator.
3. Measure distance A. (A=distance from the
ground to the centre of the lamp)
4. Measure distance L. (L= distance from the light
to the wall)
5. Distance C should be maximum = A − (L x 0.07)

The indicator light bars (1) and (3) comprise four
green lights at the bottom, followed by three yellow
lights and finally three red lights on top. The first
green light is on at all times, regardless of loss or
monitor setting. As the loss signal rate increases,
more lights will glow.

2−26

35

SECTION 2 − CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION
As the grain loss measuring is not an absolute but a
relative measuring, proceed as follows to set the
performance monitor:
1. Engage the header drive.
2. Engage the first or the second gear and enter the
crop.
3. Adjust the reel height, the reel fore and after
setting and the reel speed, according to the type
of crop being harvested.
4. Adjust the forward speed with the ground speed
control lever. The ground speed in km/h can be
observed on the tachometer.
5. Stop the machine after a hundred metres and
take a grain sample. Check also for grain losses
in the swath. If the result unsatisfactory, carry out
the necessary adjustments.

36

6. Select the highest ground speed consistent with
obtaining good results.
7. Set the sensitivity knob (4) of the sieves sensor
so that all green lights and one yellow light on the
indicator light bar (3) appear.
8. Set the sensitivity knob (2) of the straw walker
sensor so that all green lights and one yellow light
on the indicator light bar (1) appear.
9. Increase the forward speed until one of the bars
(1) or (3) glows into the red zone.
Stop the machine and check if grain losses has
clearly increased. If not, this means that the
sensitivity of the bar with the most lights on, was set
too high. Set the sensitivity knob corresponding with
this bar so that it glows on a lower level (only two or
three green lights) at the speed selected under point
6.


If the rate of loss increases, more lights will
illuminate.



If the rate decreases, lights will extinguish.

the engine.

DRIVING THE COMBINE
Familiarise yourself with the different steering and
driving characteristics.

CAUTION

The combine rear end swings out when changing
direction. Take care when taking turns.

WARNING

To prevent runaway of the combine (i.e. when the
ground speed increases during downhill driving and
it is impossible to reduce the speed with the ground
speed control lever), it is necessary to shift into a
lower gear appropriate to the steepness of the hill.

Recommended gear use:


For field operation, use first or second gear,
depending upon the circumstances.



For manoeuvring in confined spaces, use
first gear.



For road transport, use third or fourth gear.

CAUTION

Never drive on public roads with any of the
mechanisms engaged.
NOTE: When reversing the combine, an audible
alarm will automatically warn bystanders.

MECHANICAL DRIVE UNITS

HYDROSTATIC DRIVE UNITS

1. Fully depress the clutch pedal and move the
gearshift lever into the desired gear.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Release slowly the clutch pedal.
4. To increase speed, push the ground speed
control lever forward.
To decrease speed, pull the ground speed
control lever backwards.
NOTE: The action of depressing the clutch pedal
automatically returns the ground speed variator to
minimum.
5. Stop the machine completely before changing
the gear.

Proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the ground speed control lever is in
neutral position.
2. Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear.
3. Move the ground speed control lever forward
from the neutral position to advance, or from the

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
COMBINE FUNCTIONS

30710

1
The combine operates according to five basic functions:
1.

Feeding

4.

Cleaning

2.

Threshing

5.

Grain storage and unloading

3.

Separation

3−4

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
1. FEEDING
The reel 1 (on the grain header) or the gathering
chains 1 (on the maize header) feeds the crop/cobs
into the header 2 towards the auger 3. The auger 3
feeds the crop towards the middle of the header,
where it is taken by the straw elevator 4. The crop is
then carried up the straw elevator where it is fed over
the stone trap 5 into the drum 6 and concave area 7.
At this point the feeding is complete and the
threshing starts.
The stone trap 5 is designed to trap stones and other
foreign objects which may cause damage to internal
parts of the combine.

52040

2

3−5

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
2. THRESHING

4. CLEANING

As the drum 6 rotates, it rubs the crop against the
concave bars 7. This rubbing action threshes the
grain from the straw (approximately 90% of the
grain).

The grain and the chaff are moved to the front of the
upper sieve 15 where a initial cleaning takes place.



Clean grain falls onto the grain pan 8.



Straw (and remaining grain) are guided to the
beater 9.



De-awning slats (accessory) can be installed on
the front part of the concave to improve the
threshing efficiency (especially important in wheat)
and to avoid white caps.



De-awning plates (two or four) can be installed
underneath the concave to increase the rubbing
action when threshing winter barley or difficult to
thresh crops.

3. SEPARATION
If a rotary separator is installed:
The beater 9 strips the straw from the drum 6 and
guides it into the rotary separator 10 and concave 11,
which further separates the grain from the straw.
The straw retarding curtain 12 prevents the beater 9
or the rotary separator 10 from throwing the straw too
far onto the straw walkers 13.
The straw walkers 13 oscillate, lift and tumble the
straw, permitting the remaining grain to fall through
the walkers and slide down the walkers return pans
14 onto the rear of the grain pan 8.
The straw is carried over the walkers and out of the
back of the combine and is in laid in a swath or
chopped by the straw chopper 30 (if installed).

3−6

The cleaning fan 16 blows the chaff over the upper
sieve and extension 17 out of the machine, while the
grain, unthreshed heads and small quantities of chaff
fall onto the lower sieve 18.
The lower sieve 18 finally cleans the grain. Grain that
passes through the lower sieve is carried over the
grain plate 19 to the clean grain cross auger 20.
Unthreshed heads which do not fall through the lower
sieve are transported by the returns cross auger 21
and returns elevator 22 to the drum for rethreshing.

The combine can be equipped with a self-levelling
cleaning system [option] which increases the
capacity of the cleaning shoe considerably when
operating in hilly conditions.
The system functions as follows:
The grain pan dividers 23 pivot to direct the grain flow
to the uphill side of the cleaning sieves, whereas the
sieve section 24 stay horizontal position, to maintain
full capacity on slopes up to 23%.

5. GRAIN STORAGE AND UNLOADING
The clean grain is channelled into the grain tank 25
by the clean grain cross auger 20, the grain elevator
26 and by the grain tank fill auger 27.
The grain tank is emptied by the grain tank unloading
auger 28 and the unloading tube auger 29.

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION

COMBINE PERFORMANCE CHECK
Kill stall
The only way to accurately check the performance of
the combine is to complete a ”kill-stall”.

12. With all previous factors considered, readjust the
combine.

1. Operate the combine in a section of the field that
best represents the overall crop. Be sure the
combine is at least 100 m (328 ft) into the crop
and travelling at the normal operating ground
speed.

NOTE: Make only one adjustment at a time so that
any change in combine performance can be
attributed to that particular adjustment.

2. Press on the “ESC” button for minimum four
seconds to get an engine quick ”kill-stall”. Apply
the brakes gently and allow the complete
combine to stop. This will leave crop material as
it was during actual harvesting.

There are four indicators, which will tell you how well
the combine is performing. These four indicators are:


Grain tank sample

3. Disengage the threshing
engagement system.

Distribution of material on the grain pan and
upper sieve



If hydrostatic drive: Move the multi function
handle to neutral.



Type and amount of returns
Losses

If mechanical drive: Press down on the clutch
pedal and move the gearshift lever into
neutral.





and

4. Move the throttle control to the lowest position
and restart the engine immediately. This
prevents the engine from overheating and from
being damaged. Run the engine on low idle for
five minutes before stopping the engine.
5. Check the grain tank sample for complete
threshing, cleanliness and damage.
6. Walk out in the front of the header and check the
crop loss before the header has contacted the
crop (preharvest loss).
7. Check the crop loss in an area where only the
header has travelled (header loss).
8. Check the distribution of material on the grain
pan.
9. Check the type, amount and distribution of
material on the sieves.
10. Check the type and amount of returns.

Performance indicators

By correctly reading these indicators and being
familiar with the combine, you can make the
necessary adjustments to correct any problem and
improve the overall combine performance.
Grain tank sample
A large amount of trash in the grain tank indicates the
crop is being overthreshed and/or the cleaning fan
speed is too slow. The first step to correct this
problem is to increase the concave clearance and/ or
reduce the drum speed. This reduces or eliminates
the material break-up caused by overthreshing.
Then increase the cleaning fan speed if the trash is
heavier than the grain or close the upper sieve if the
trash is larger than the grain.
Cracked or damaged grain is mainly caused by too
high drum speed. Increase the concave clearance
and then reduce the drum speed to correct the
problem.
Bunch feeding can cause grain damage in the straw
elevator. An incorrect straw elevator chain tension
can also cause grain damage.

11. Check the total loss in a 60 cm (23-5/8“) wide
area across the width of the straw walkers.
Subtract preharvest and header losses to
determine the machine loss. Use a drop screen
to check the machine loss directly.
3−15

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
Excessive returns will contribute to grain damage
due the additional pass(es) the grain must take
through the drum/concave area. Plugged concave
can cause grain damage because the free grain
cannot get out of the concave area.
Loose elevator chains can also cause grain damage.
It is important to maintain the proper tension on these
chains.
Unthreshed material in the grain tank can be caused
by underthreshing or the lower sieve that is opened
too wide. Increase the drum speed and reduce the
concave clearance as needed to correct the
problem. Reduce also the lower sieve opening
slightly to obtain a cleaner grain tank sample.
Grain pan/upper sieve distribution
The distribution of material on the grain pan affects
the distribution of material on the sieve. The
distribution on the grain pan should be level.
The front third of the upper sieve should be
completely clean. The middle third should have
some grain but mostly residue. The rear third of the
upper sieve should have only residue.
If there is some grain on the rear third of the upper
sieve, returns will be increased and there is a
possibility that grain will ride out the back of the
combine. Open the upper sieve to allow more of the
grain to fall onto the lower sieve.
If the material on the upper sieve is broken into small
pieces, the crop is being overthreshed. This can plug
the upper sieve and cause high losses. Increase the
concave clearance and/ or reduce drum speed to
decrease the threshing action.
Unthreshed heads indicate the drum speed should
be increased and/ or the concave clearance should
be reduced. Unthreshed heads can also be caused
by worn rasp bars and worn concaves.

Return sample
It is normal for the return sample to contain a few
unthreshed heads. The purpose of the returns
system is to return unthreshed heads to the
threshing area for another pass. However, a large
quantity of unthreshed heads indicates the concave
clearance is too wide.
If the return sample contains a large quantity of clean
grain, the cleaning fan speed should be reduced and/
or the lower sieve should be opened more.
Losses
Losses may occur at different stages: (see fig. 7)
1. Pre-combining losses: (i.e. losses found in
front of the combine) are usually caused by
adverse weather conditions, poor crop
conditions and crop maturity.
2. Header losses: (i.e. losses found behind the
header and outside of the tyres) may be caused
by improper header adjustments.
3. Leakage losses: may be caused by damaged
seals or holes in bottom auger covers.
4. Cleaning shoe losses: may be caused by a
poor sieve adjustment, a low or too high cleaning
fan speed, or when working on slopes
(exceeding the capacity of the self levelling
system (if fitted).
5. Straw walker losses: These can be unthreshed
ears (underthreshing) or grains, due to poor
adjustment of drum and concave or excessive
ground speed.

Total losses (Lt) caused by the machine:
Lt = (2 + 3) + (4 + 5) - 1

Functional losses (Lf)
Lf = 4 + 5

3−16

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION

7
The area of loss is determined by the location of the
grain in relation to the combine. Each of these areas
must be checked to accurately determine which
combine adjustments (if any) can be made to reduce
the loss.
Grain on the ground in front of the combine head is
defined as preharvest loss and is usually caused by
the weather. Determine the amount of this loss
before taking the combine into the field.
Grain found behind the head, but to the outside of the
drive tyres, is considered loss from the head. These
losses can be caused by improper head adjustments
or improper combine ground speed.

Shoe losses can be caused by a build-up of material
on the top sieve which allows the grain to ride out the
back of the combine. This can be due to the sieve
opening being closed or opened too much, the rear
of the sieve raised too high (sieve angle too
extreme), by a too low cleaning fan speed or a sieve
overload by too aggressive threshing in brittle crops.
Losses can also be caused by a cleaning fan speed
that is too high. The grain is then blown out of the
back of the combine.
An uneven loading of material on the top sieve can
also cause losses.

Grain on the ground directly behind the combine and
the width of the shoe is caused by incorrect combine
adjustment(s), too high a ground speed, or leakage.
Holes in the auger bottoms and damaged seals can
result in large losses which are often mistaken for
shoe and straw walker losses.

3−17

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
How to obtain an idea on loss level
Example:
A 6-straw walker combine with a 17 ft (5.10 m)
grain header operating in wheat.
Average yield: 5000 kg/ha.

8


Surface P= surface being harvested:
1 meter multiplied by X (header width) = 5.10 m2.



Surface Q = surface of the material being cut in
surface P, behind the machine (i.e. swath):
1 meter multiplied by Y.
(drum width, i.e. 1.5 meter) = 1.5 m2.



Consider a loss level of 1% = 50 kg/ha or
5 grams/m2 crop.
Surface Q will then contain the functional losses
(i.e. cleaning shoe, straw walker, fan) of surface
P (5.1 m2), being 5x 5.1 = 25.5 grams.



Considering the average weight of wheat being
23000 grains/kg, this means: 586 grains in
surface Q. (1% loss level!)



An average human hand with spread fingers
covers a surface of approximately 0.03 m2. This
means that, if the grain loss is evenly spread, 18
grains can be found underneath the hand,
representing 1% grain loss for a 5000 kg/ha yield.

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
Header and straw elevator reversing system
The combine is equipped with a system to reverse
the header auger (or the gathering chains, in case of
a maize header), the auger and the straw elevator
should a blockage occur.
If, during operation, a feed auger and/or a straw
elevator blockage occurs which makes the slip
clutch(es) slip, proceed as follows:

19
1. Stop the forward travel of the combine
immediately and disengage the header drive by
pressing on the top of the orange cap (3) or by
using the header engaging lever (6).
2. Reverse the combine a few metres.
3. Let the engine run at maximum speed.

(6).

21
IMPORTANT: It is not possible to remove all
blockages using the reversing system. If necessary,
remove the blockage manually. Refer to the next
paragraph ”header and/or straw elevator
blockage-manual clearing”.
NOTE: If the blockage can not be removed by the
reversing system, stop the engine before attempting
to unplug manually.
6. Continue operation.

CAUTION
If the blockage cannot be removed by means of the
reversing system, disengage all engagement
systems, stop the engine, remove the ignition key
and wait until all moving parts have completely
stopped.
If the blockage is situated at the upper shaft of the
straw elevator, gain access through the cover on the
top side of the straw elevator or detach the header
with the straw elevator from the combine (refer to the
paragraph headed ”Straw elevator removal”, further
in this section).
If the blockage is situated at the straw elevator lower
shaft, it will be necessary to detach the header. Refer
to “SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION”,
paragraph headed ”Detaching the header from the
combine”.
Stubble height indicator (if applicable)
The crop cutting height can be read out on the
stubble height indicator 6 which is located on the
operator’s platform.

Header compensation gauge
A gauge (8) is incorporated in the hydraulic header
lift system. When set correctly, the gauge informs the
operator whether the combine is being operated with
the header skid shoes running on or off the ground.
To set the gauge correctly, raise the header until the
skid shoes are just off the ground. Then, turn the
screw (10) until the gauge needle is centred in the
middle of the green indicator segment (9).
During field operation, the combine should then be
operated with the needle remaining in the green zone
(i.e. with the header skid shoes just of the ground).
If the needle goes into the white area, raise or lower
the header slightly.

Tilt down the right-hand side of the header by
pressing on the right part of the rocker switch (5).

3−26

27

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
Compensation operation
Use this mode when harvesting peas and/or laid
crops. In this operation mode, the header slides over
the ground with a pre-selected pressure.
In this mode, it is also possible to obtain an automatic lateral flotation if Autofloatt position sensors are fitted. The sensors should be connected to
the combine and the outer header skids should be in
pivoting position (i.e. hanging loose).
Turn the selector switch (1) as shown in fig. 28.
Give a pulse on the resume button (2). The header
lowers automatically at the pre-selected pressure
when the threshing mechanism is engaged.
After pressing the resume button (2), the green
autodiagnostic indicator (3) starts blinking and
remain so to show the compensation operation is
engaged.

28
While harvesting, it is possible to change the pre-selected pressure by means of the header compensation knob (6).
Turn the knob (6) counter−clockwise (+) to increase
the header pressure onto the soil.
Turn the knob (6) clockwise (−) to reduce the header
pressure onto the soil.
Operating the header height control rocker switch (5)
(vertical) disengages, the compensation system into
the transport mode [priority]. The green autodiagnostic indicator (3) will extinguish.
A pulse on the resume button (2) will bring the header
back to the compensation operation mode.
When setting compensation, it can maximum be set
at 108% of the header weight, which means that the
header will start to raise.
When setting, this height, the header will not always
follow the ground contour when passing an obstacle.
In this case, it has to be set slightly heavier.

29

3−27

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
Autofloatt or Controlfloatt operation
[if sensors are fitted]
The header will follow the field contour at a pre-selected stubble height. Use this mode when a short
stubble is required.
The automatic compensation is built in when
touching the ground. Once the header clears the
ground, it automatically returns to the pre-set stubble
height.
Turn the selector switch (1) as shown. Give a pulse
on the resume button (2) and the header will automatically lower to the pre-selected stubble height
when the threshing mechanism is engaged.
The green autodiagnostic indicator warning light (3)
illuminates to show that the header is operating at the
pre-selected stubble height.
The pre-selected stubble height can be adjusted
while harvesting by means of the header stubble
height control knob (7).
Turn the knob (7) clockwise (+) to increase the preselected stubble height.
Turn the knob (7) counterclockwise (−) to reduce the
pre−selected stubble height.

30

Operating the header height control rocker switch (5)
vertically or sideways (lateral float) disengages the
Autofloatt or Controlfloatt system completely into
the transport mode. The green autodiagnostic indicator (3) extinguishes.
To return to the pre-selected stubble height and inclination, give a pulse on the resume button (2).

31

3−28

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
Stubble height operation
The header operates at a pre-selected stubble
height. Use this mode when harvesting standing
crops or when operating in stony conditions and at a
higher stubble height.
In this mode the Autofloatt sensors [if installed] are
disengaged and the header can only be tilted manually by the rocker switch (5).
An automatic compensation is built in when touching the ground. After the header clears the ground, it
automatically returns to the pre-set stubble height.
Turn the selector switch (1) as shown in fig. 32.
Give a pulse on the resume button (2) and the header
will automatically lower at to the pre-selected stubble
height when the threshing mechanism is engaged.
The green autodiagnostic indicator warning light (3)
illuminates to show that the header is operating at the
pre-selected stubble height.
The pre-selected stubble height can be adjusted during harvesting by means of the header stubble height
control knob (7).
Turn the knob (7) clockwise (+) to increase the preselected stubble height.
Turn the knob (7) counter-clockwise (−) to reduce the
pre-selected stubble height.

32

Operating the header height control rocker switch (5)
vertically lowers or lifts the header into the transport
mode [priority] . The green autodiagnostic indicator

SECTION 3 − FIELD AND SITE OPERATION
DRUM AND CONCAVE

ADJUSTMENT VALUES
The adjustment values of the drum rpm and of the
concave clearance depend on the following factors:
• Crop type to be harvested
• Crop maturity and variety
• Humidity content
• Volume of straw and grain
• Weed contamination
FUNDAMENTALS OF ADJUSTMENT








Maximum drum speed and minimum concave
clearance, give maximum threshing efficiency.
If the grain is damaged excessively, it is
necessary to reduce the drum speed. If straw is
damaged too much it is necessary to increase
concave clearance.
if straw is damaged too much it is necessary to
increase concave clearance.
If grain is not fully separated from the ears,
increase the drum speed and/or reduce the
concave clearance.
If plugging or wrapping occurs, increase the
drum speed.

with the fan speed rocker switch from the right-hand
console and can be read from the monitor.
It is only possible to change the fan speed when the
threshing mechanism is engaged.

WARNING

Do not change the fan speed if the engine and
threshing mechanism is not running to avoid
deformation of the adjustment mechanism.

Adjust it to suit the nature of the crop, chaff load and
moisture content. A low fan speed kit can be installed
to obtain a lower fan speed regulation when
threshing small seeds. An insufficient air blast will
reduce the ”clean area” of the top sieve causing a
dirty sample or grain loss (grain will shake over the
end of the shaker shoe).
The best way to check whether the volume of air is
satisfactory is to complete a ”kill-stall”, i.e. stopping
the engine with the threshing mechanism engaged
and checking the sieve coverage pattern.
Refer to paragraph headed “Kill-stall” in this section.
If this method of checking is used:


The rakes must be clean while the sieves must
be evenly loaded. Little or no grain should be
found on the rear part of the upper sieve.



If the whole sieve is clear of grain and chaff, the
volume of air is too high. The grain will be blown
out of the machine and clean grain will be
transported over the lower sieve into the returns
cross auger.



If the upper sieve is full of grain, the volume of air
is too low, so that the wind does not blow through
the chaff. Therefore grain will be shaken off the
sieve together with the chaff.

Sieve operation can also be checked by collecting
material coming from the rear of the cleaning shoe
and checking the sample for grain loss.

Excessive returns will:
• High risk of grain damaging.
• Sieve overload with consequent grain loss.
The amount of returns can be checked through cover
4 after performing a kill stall.
42074

139
How to limit the returns:
1. When too much clean grain is found in the
returns elevator:
• Open the lower sieve as much as possible,
consistent with producing a clean grain
sample.
• Avoid excessive fan rpm, to prevent clean
grain from being blown over the lower sieve
into the returns cross auger.
2. When an excess of short straw and thrash is
found in the returns elevator:
• Keep the fan rpm high enough to blow the
chaff out of the machine.
• Do not open the top sieve too wide to prevent
excessive chaff from getting onto the bottom
sieve.

WARNING

The braking system of your combine was carefully
designed and balanced to provide optimum braking
performance.
It is important to ensure that only brake linings
meeting NEW HOLLAND specifications for the

incorrect friction properties may result in a reduction
of braking efficiency. Only use genuine NEW
HOLLAND replacement parts.
Brakes belong to the components that are subject to
homologation in many countries, and must therefore
not be altered.

BATTERIES
The combine is equipped with two 12V (92 Ah)
batteries. Remove the rubber cover (4) to have
access to the batteries
The earth cable is connected to the battery negative
pole (−).
Check weekly the battery acid level (every 50
operating hours) and, if necessary, top up with
distiled water until the separators are covered.
The batteries can be completely disconnected by
means of the main battery switch.
IMPORTANT: To avoid loss of data and/or monitor
damage, it is strongly recommended not to stop the
engine by using the battery switch. Always use the
contact key in this case and wait for minimum 15
seconds before disconnect the battery switch (3).

151

IMPORTANT: It is advisable to disconnect the
batteries at the end of the day, using the battery
switch.

4−77

SECTION 4 − LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Important tips
1. With cold weather conditions, before starting the
engine, fill the batteries with distiled water. In this
way the water and the electrolytes are mixed by
the charging current thus avoiding the battery
freezing.

CAUTION
Keep sparks, lighted matches or an open flame away
from the battery as battery gas can explode. Never
check the battery charge by placing a metal object
across the terminals.
Use a volt meter or a hydrometer.
2. If the engine is reluctant to start, do not turn the
ignition key for longer than 20 seconds, but try
again after a few seconds.
3. The battery clamps must be cleaned regularly
and covered with a layer of vaseline or petroleum
jelly to prevent corrosion.
4. Make sure the vents in the filler plugs are kept
clean.
5. The batteries must never be disconnect while the
engine is running, or damage to the alternator
may result.
6. Never switch off the ignition while the engine is
running on full speed. This is to prevent running
out of the turbocharger propeller without
lubricant.
7. To safeguard battery life, switch off any lighting
before starting the engine.
8. Under normal conditions, do not add sulphuric
acid to the batteries.
9. The batteries should be stored in a fully charged
condition.

CAUTION
Do not charge a frozen battery as it may explode!

4−78

SECTION 4 − LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Battery charge warning light
As soon as the ignition switch is turned on, the battery charge warning light on the instrument panel will
glow. When the engine has reached a certain speed,
the light will extinguish.
If the light does not extinguish or if it flickers, the alternator or the voltage regulator may not be working
properly.
Disconnect the battery terminals immediately and locate the cause of the problem or call your local dealer.
Alternator
IMPORTANT: The engine is equipped with an
alternator. Certain precautions must be observed to
avoid serious damage to the alternator, battery and
wiring.
When carrying out any maintenance work, the following instructions must be observed:
1. Disconnect the negative (−) battery terminal if
any electric welding work is to be carried out on
the combine.
Secure the negative (−) terminal of the welding
apparatus as close as possible to the part to be
welded.
2. The positive (+) lead of the battery is live at all
times. To prevent damage, always disconnect
the battery earth lead (−) first.
3. Ensure the battery is connected properly, i.e.
negative (−) lead to the negative (−) terminal and
positive (+) lead to the positive (+) terminal.
4. Always connect a booster battery in parallel, i.e.
negative (−) to negative (−), and positive (+) to
positive (+).
5. Disconnect the earth (−) battery cable before
connecting a battery charger.
Ensure the

CAB/CLIMATE CONTROL
Cab air filter

5

The cab air filter should be cleaned regularly and/or
daily in case of harvesting in extremely dusty
conditions. Open the cab roof (4) with the lock (7)
inside the cab. Release the latches (5) and remove
the cab air filter (6). Clean with compressed air blown
from the inside towards the outside.
It is advisable to replace the filter elements every
year.

CAUTION
Wear a dust mask when doing this job.

CAUTION
Dust protection
The air filter in the cab does not protect against all
substances (e.g. chemical residues on crops).
Absolute protection against specific products can
only be obtained when the nature of these products
is known and adequate measures are purposely
designed to counter the hazard created by these
substances. It goes without saying that correct filter
maintenance and keeping doors and windows closed
is essential.

SECTION 4 − LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
A/C SYSTEM (IF INSTALLED)
The A/C system must be started exclusively when
the combine engine is warm and when inside the cab
temperature reaches 21_C or more.
NOTE: Ignoring this precaution may cause damage
to the system.
To start the A/C system turn the switch (2) completely
towards the right (maximum position) and the fan
switch (3) onto ”III” (maximum speed). The heating
switch (1) must be in minimum position (i.e.
completely towards left).
The fan inside the cab roof will blow air at full speed
through the evaporator which is installed inside the
roof.
When the air temperature feels comfortable, turn the
switch (2) away from its maximum position and turn
the fan switch (3) into position ”I” or ”II” (low to
medium speed).
IMPORTANT: The switch (3) must never be
turned on ”I” if the A/C system switch (2) is in the
maximum position (i.e. completely towards
right), because this can influence negatively the
system performance.

Filter-drier
The sight glass and a ring-shaped moisture indicator
(1) on the right-hand side of the engine compartment
serve for determining the condition of the R134a gas.


If the refrigerant is without air bubbles, then the
refrigerant condition is good.



If the glass shows a milky refrigerant: good
condition in ambient temperature.



If air bubbles are visible: lack of refrigerant.



If the moisture indicator is blue: filter and
refrigerant are in good condition.



If the moisture indicator is red: this is an
indication of too much moisture, the filter-drier
has to be replaced.



If the moisture indicator is brown or black: too
much contamination: filter-drier has to be
replaced.

NOTE: The filter-drier must always be replaced
when the air circuit has been opened.
If the filter-drier needs to be replaced, or if the air
conditioning system needs repair, contact your local
dealer.

SECTION 6 − VEHICLE STORAGE

SECTION 6 − VEHICLE STORAGE
Your combine represents an important investment
and its life depends upon how well you take care of
it.

END-OF-SEASON SERVICE
Follow the steps outlined below at the end of each
season’s use or when the machine will not be used for
an extended period of time. This will ensure the combine is kept in good condition and ready for the next
season.
1. Remove the head to facilitate cleaning.
2. Clean the interior and exterior of the combine
thoroughly because any chaff and dirt left in the
machine will attract moisture and cause rust.
NOTE:


Avoid pressure washing at ambient temperatures
below 105 C (505 F). Place the machine in a
heated workshop for at least 24 hours.



Avoid direct water jets onto electric equipment,
bearings, seals, gearbox, oil tank or fuel tank filler
caps, into the engine exhaust, engine, cab air filters and decals.



Leave covers open at the bottom of the elevators
to allow any moisture to drain out. Leave the unloading auger cleaning doors open.

DELETED
3. Remove the sieves, clean them and coat with oil
or a rust preventative.
4. Remove all chains. Clean and coat the chains
with oil. Reinstall them, then adjust to the correct
tension.
5. Lubricate the machine thoroughly, as described
in Section 4 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE.
6. Coat all bright parts (except the pulley and the variator discs) with paint, a rust preventative, oil or
grease to protect them from rust.

When using a high pressure washer spray:


Keep a minimum distance of 30 cm (11’’) between the spray gun and the surface to be
cleaned.



Spray under an angle of minimum 25° (do not
spray in perpendicular direction).



Maximum water temperature: 60°C (140°F).



Maximum water pressure: 60 bar (870 PSI)
Do not use chemicals.



Legislation in certain countries and good
practice requires special treatment of waste
water through sedimentation and oil separation and controlled removal of residues.

6−1

SECTION 6 − VEHICLE STORAGE
7. Retract all hydraulic cylinders and coat exposed
parts of the cylinder rods with grease.
8. Clean all belts, then check belt tension.
Adjust if necessary.

DELETED
9. Clean the air filter element.
10. Use compressed air, or water under pressure, to
clean out the engine radiator. Use a low-pressure
water jet, or compressed air, to clean the air-conditioner condenser fins.
11. Check the anti-freeze content in the engine cooling system.
12. Fill the fuel tank completely.
13. Store the combine in a dry place, protected from
the weather.
14. Close off all engine openings with plugs or greaseproof paper.
15. Support the combine on wooden blocks to relieve
the weight from the tires. Leave tires inflated.
16. Disconnect the battery cables. Clean and charge
the batteries.

6−2

IMPORTANT: The batteries should be charged every
8 to 10 weeks with a 5 to 6 amperes current for a period of 24 hours to a minimum of 12.6 volt.
NOTE: Removing the batteries will not harm the storage of information in the monitor.
17. Straw chopper: Remove all knives and bushings,
grease them thoroughly and reinstall them onto
the rotor. Torque nuts between 110 and 120 Nm
(81 and 88 ft.lbs).
18. Every 4 weeks, remove the engine opening
seals, start the engine and run at 3/4 throttle for
1 to 2 hours. Move all the variators from minimum
to maximum, and vice versa, to ensure adequate
lubrication to prevent rust.
19. Switch on the air conditioning while the engine is
running, only if the ambient temperature is above
15°C (60°F). This will ensure lubrication of the
compressor parts. Operate the air-conditioning
system for at least 15 minutes.
20. Reinstall the engine opening seals.
Periodic checks will help to keep your combine
maintenance and repairs to a minimum and avoid
costly breakdowns during the season. Therefore, it is good practice to have the combine inspected at the end of the season. Your NEW HOLLAND dealer will gladly quote a price for this
work.

SECTION 6 − VEHICLE STORAGE
ORDERING PARTS AND/OR ACCESSORIES
When preparing the combine for storage, check thoroughly for any parts that may have become worn and
need replacing.
Parts and/or Accessories should be ordered at once
and fitted before the next harvesting season.
When ordering Parts and/or Accessories, always ensure to give your NEW HOLLAND dealer the model
number and PIN number of your combine. See the
chapter headed ‘‘Product Identification’’.

WHEELS AND TYRES
WARNING

The tyres specified by the manufacturer are the only
tyres approved. If nongenuine or replacement tyres
are used, these must be identical in size and strength
[PR rating for diagonal tyres or Load Capacity for
radial tyres (e.g. 166 A8)] to specified tyres. The
recommended tyre pressure has to be maintained at
all times.
Only original NEW HOLLAND wheel rims should be
used in combination with the tyre sizes indicated.
Only these tyre/wheel combinations have been
homologated in relation to the machine weight, width
and road speed limits. The rims should be fitted in
such a way that the maximum overall machine width
permitted locally on public roads is adhered to.

CAUTION

Road travel in the 4th gear with grain in the tank is not
allowed.
