filter element and must be trapped in the paper filter media. This results in shortened service interval, and additional service requirement. Contact your Case IH dealer for service to the air filter strato-tube assembly (see figure 8.2). Engine Oil and Filter When 2300 series combines are shipped from the factory, the crankcase is filled with SAE 15W40 engine oil. - Page 9 GENERAL MAINTENANCE Hydraulic System (cont.) “What’s with the Color of the Bearings Oil in My New Combine?” Be sure to keep weeds and crop residue from wrapping on shafts near bearings. The Hy-Tran fluid and the engine oil shipped in new combines is dyed to allow easier detection of leaks.
- Page 10 Replacement is indicated when wear progresses into mounting bolt holes, or feeding is noticeably affected. Your Case IH dealer can refer to Service Bulletin NHE SB 029 05 for the correct method to measure impeller wear to determine if replacement is suggested (see figure 10.3).
- Page 11 Bio-diesel Fuel The use of bio-diesel fuel is on the rise. A bio-fuel blend, up to a maximum of 5% (B5) has been approved for use in Case IH diesel engines. While bio-diesel has distinct advantages such as its clean burning characteristics, users of bio-diesel should be aware of some specific conditions.

(see figure 12.3). (see figure 12.2). • Case IH offers rigid drapers for applications (such as rice) where the head will not be run on the ground, and flex-drapers (for small grains and soybeans) where the head frequently is operated at to near ground level. - Page 13 OPERATION Rock Trap The mechanical rock trap on the 2300 Series combines is mounted at the top of the feeder housing, directly in front of the rotor. The rock trap uses a three-blade beater to direct stones from the crop flow from the feeder to the rotor downward into the rock trap (see figure 13.1).

Grain Moisture and Weight Calibration The most common calibration necessary is crop calibration— 3/8" to 1/2" moisture and weight. Prior to harvesting, some mechanical checks should be performed. The flow sensor impact plate should be inspected. If any holes are worn through the plate it should be replaced. - Page 30 • Your Case IH dealer should be consulted to correct • Identification is necessary to enter a load name into AFS, the condition as well as on scale tickets.
