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. 001hsn03
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).
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.

SAFETY STICKERS WITH WARNING
PICTOGRAMS
Warning stickers are placed at all the dangerous points on the
machine (according to regulations in force in the country).
The pictograms represented on these stickers are to warn
about risks of injury, and they show the correct attitude to
adopt to avoid injury and accidents.
See the photos opposite for the correct location of the stickers
on the tractor:
- A: Warning:
- Read the user's manual carefully before using the
tractor.
361rsn039
- B: Warning:
- Passenger transport is not authorized.
- C : Warning :
- Do not climb onto the tractor while it is moving.

FOLDING ROLL BAR
Under normal working conditions, the roll bar should always be
positioned vertically. When working where there is limited 1 2
headroom, the roll bar may be folded down. As soon as working
conditions permit, the roll bar must be raised. A
To lower or raise the roll bar:
- Remove the pin (1),
- Remove the lock pin from both sides (2) (position (A)).
B
- Lower or raise the roll bar slowly and carefully.
- To lower the roll bar without interfering with front lifting, fit the
stop pin Position (B).
C
- Refit the lock pins on both sides in the new position (C). 361rsn041

TABLES OF FORWARD SPEEDS
The forward speeds listed are theoretical speeds, and are given
for an engine speed of 2 200 rpm. The calculations assume
"standardized" tyre diameters. The rear ratios are more or less
equal to the front ratios (-1,5%).
N.B.: These values are given as an indication only. They are
dependent on 3 parameters:
- Tyre inflation pressure.
- Tyre wear.
- Wheelspin coefficient.
Only a measurement in the field under working conditions
can give an accurate value.

ADJUSTING THE STABILISERS
ADJUSTMENT OF LATERAL STABILISERS
A
The lateral stabilisers (A) limit lateral movement of the traction
bars.
Adjust the position of the stabilisers to increase or decerease
lateral movement to match the requirements of the implement
used. At the end of the' adjustment, lock the locknuts (B).
Too fixed stiffening can prevent lowering the tool.
B
HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE LATERAL
STABILISERS
Actuate the manual pump (1) slowly to reduce the lateral play of
the arm 546rsn01e
Actuate the pump in the other direction to increase play.
It is essential to check that the thread lengths
1
revealed (C) are equal (maximum difference 5
mm) and that the centre-to-centre length (D) for
the upper rod does not exceed the maximum allowable
length given in the "Characteristics" section of this
chapter.
N.B.: When the adjustment is complete, fix the end fitting
ball joint (A) in the lifting arm of the attached implement and
firmly tighten lock-nut (E).
When driving on the road : 546rsn02e
-Do not pull trailors, even farming trailors, using the holed
bar of the 3 point hitch ;
C
-It is forbidden, and hazardous, to tow any tool while
controlling it only on the third point ; E
-Always prevent friction of the traction bars against the tires.
