2000 CLAAS QUADRANT 2200 / 2200RC Large Square Baler Service & Repair Manual

This CLAAS repair manual covers the 2000 QUADRANT 2200 and 2200RC large square balers, with common procedures and separate instructions for RC cutting equipment and other fitted options.

Text search and bookmarks: Body text is searchable, although some running headers do not work in text searches. Embedded bookmarks link to repair procedures throughout the manual; some entries are blank or use numeric file labels.

• Drivetrain overhaul: Friction clutch, primary transmission, main gearbox and rotor/feed rake drive disassembly, bearing inspection and reassembly.

• Knotter and twine wrap device: Knotter repair, needle-to-piston timing, twine finger adjustment and needle yoke brake settings.

• Crop handling: Pick-up drive repair, cutting/feed rotor removal, knife shaft and knife frame service, and feed rake adjustments.

• Bale chamber: Baling ram repair, guide roller adjustment, bale chamber clearer service, and bale ejector removal and installation.

• Hydraulics: Main valve overhaul, pressure checks, Rotocut directional valve service, press-ring cylinder repair and overload protection adjustment.

• Brakes and axles: Single- and tandem-axle repair, wheel bearings, brake shoes, hydraulic brake cylinders and pneumatic diaphragm cylinder replacement.

• Central lubrication: Lubricating pump disassembly and reassembly, pump element and non-return valve replacement, and grease-delivery checks.

This manual suits agricultural repair technicians familiar with mechanical timing and gearbox setup, with access to lifting equipment, a press and measuring tools.

Drivetrain and Transmission Overhaul

The factory breakdowns cover taper roller bearing fitting, gear shaft positioning and shaft seal replacement. Primary-transmission section views and main-drive angular-play diagrams support the instructions for bearing preload, gear backlash and tooth-contact checks.

Gearbox-specific oil specifications, torque tables, threadlocker references and graphic symbol charts accompany the repair procedures. Dimensioned drawings are provided for shop-made crank-arm checking fixtures.

During knotter gearbox assembly, incorrect gear engagement as the hollow shaft is seated can damage the teeth.

Knotter Timing and Production Changes

Needle-to-piston setting drawings show the relationships between the ram, needles and knotter drive. The procedures cover twine fingers, no-play knotter pinion mesh, the knotter shaft brake and the ram stop that protects the needles.

Component changes distinguish machines up to 735 00 441 and from 735 00 442 for flywheel shear bolts and drawbar hardware. The later supporting-wheel retention is also identified. These distinctions help match parts and repair instructions to the machine before disassembly.

Crop Feed and Bale Chamber Repair

Roller crop press and swath spreader procedures sit alongside pick-up auger, cam disc and tine-bar work. The cutting/feed rotor instructions identify uneven lifting as a cause of rotor bending.

RC feed-channel side-wall service has separate instructions. Baling ram rails, straw wheel service, press-ring panels and the roller chute extend coverage through the bale-forming and discharge assemblies.

Hydraulic Valves and RC Adjustments

Hydraulic repair goes beyond cylinder replacement: the main valve section covers baling-pressure control components, relief-valve adjustment and pressure-gauge checks. The upper press-ring cylinder exploded view identifies its piston, cylinder head and sealing components.

Separate valve procedures cover bale expulsion, Rotocut knife movement, cutting-frame movement and pick-up support. RC potentiometer adjustment requires Control Terminal Service Menu 8.2, which the manual reserves for customer service.

Brakes, Lubrication and Electrical Scope

Separate single- and tandem-axle exploded views accompany wheel-bearing and brake-camshaft work. Tandem suspension repair includes the spring assemblies and rockers; hydraulic and compressed-air brake arrangements are distinguished.

Compressed-air coverage includes the reservoir, compressor, air filter and pressure regulator or overflow valve. Central lubrication procedures explain the pump motor and eccentric drive assembly.

The electrics section covers humidity-sensor replacement. Wiring diagrams and a dedicated electrical troubleshooting section are not included.

Observe the manual's precautions for flywheel movement, supported assemblies and stored hydraulic or air pressure.
