Written for the Claas Xerion 3300 Trac and five sister variants across the 3300 and 3800 series, Trac VC and Saddle Trac builds included, this 358-page operator manual PDF (OEM ID 000 293 953 1) matches your tractor. Fieldwork settings take up a large share of the book: rotating the cab to tail position, hitching implements to the front and tail three-point hitch, and setting lower link clearance and lift limits. CEBIS menus are laid out screen by screen, and the Communicator chapter shows you how to set output flow and swivel angle on the power hydraulics. Run the central lubrication on a 2-hour cycle with an 8-second duration, and swap hydraulic hoses 6 years after manufacture regardless of how they look. Guessing costs a hose and a harvest day. Plate locations for the vehicle, engine and transmission are shown, so the parts counter gets the right number first time, and bookmarks with searchable text keep you moving before the weather turns.

Claas Xerion 3300/3800 Trac, VC & Saddle Trac Common Problems This Manual Covers
Claas Xerion 3300 and 3800 radiator unit packed with dust and coolant level running low
Clean the radiator unit with compressed air at 5 bar max. following page 328, blowing it clear before you head back to the field. Check the coolant level and frost resistance before topping up. A full coolant change takes 50 litres per page 313, so have enough mixed before you drain.
Manual Section: Cooling System Maintenance p. 328Engine air filter main cartridge clogged with dust and safety cartridge past its replacement interval
Remove the main cartridge and clean it with compressed air at 5 bar max. as shown on page 334. Replace the safety cartridge after a maximum of 2 years per page 336, regardless of how it looks. While you are in there, check the charge-air pipe clamps and torque them to 18 Nm following page 331.
Manual Section: Engine Maintenance p. 334Hydraulic oil level low in the tank with pressure, return flow and suction filters overdue
Check the hydraulic oil level; the tank holds 130 litres per page 53. Replace the pressure filter after the first 50 working hours, then every 3000, and the return flow filter every 1500, per page 277. Expect approx. 3 litres to drain out of the pressure filter on page 286, so have a pan ready.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System Maintenance p. 286Ground drive and PTO transmission oil level low with transmission fine filter overdue for change
Check ground drive and PTO transmission oil levels separately. The main transmission takes 68 litres and the PTO transmission approx. 5.6 litres per page 282. Replace the transmission oil fine filter after the first 50 working hours, then every 500, per page 277, and torque it to 50 Nm following page 290.
Manual Section: Transmission Maintenance p. 290Axle planetary gear and differential oil levels found low during scheduled axle service
Check the oil level in each planetary gear and the differential, and inspect the venting valves while you are there. After draining, refill each planetary gear with 9.5 litres and the differential with 18.2 litres per page 283. Torque the drain plugs to 34 Nm following pages 297 and 299 before the tractor goes back in the field.
Manual Section: Axle Maintenance p. 283Central lubrication system pump motor not delivering grease and grease points blocked
Confirm the system runs its 2 hours cycle time with 8 seconds lubrication duration per page 251. Check that the pump motor runs during the cycle and that grease reaches each grease point. Clear any blocked grease point before heading back to the field.
Manual Section: Central Lubrication System Faults p. 251Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the 500h maintenance counter on the CLAAS XERION?
To reset the 500h maintenance counter, open the CEBIS menu, select the Reset sub-menu, and choose the 'Reset 500h maintenance counter' option. This procedure is performed using the CEBIS controls. p. 192
What are the oil and oil filter specifications for the CATERPILLAR C9 engine in the Claas Xerion?
The CATERPILLAR C9 engine requires 32 litres of engine oil recommended by CATERPILLAR (API-CH4, SAE 10W-40). The oil filter cartridge (1) should be replaced every time the engine oil is changed. p. 313
What are the replacement specifications for the fuel filters and fuel-water separator elements on the Claas Xerion?
The fuel pre-filter cartridge should be replaced at every filter change, and the fuel filter cartridge should be replaced according to the maintenance schedule on page 311. Ensure the seal has a perfect fit when screwing in the new cartridge. p. 320
What is the tightening torque for the wheel nuts on the driven steering axles of the Claas Xerion?
The tightening torque for the wheel nuts with thrust piece H22 (DIN 74361-10) on the driven steering axles is 700 Nm. p. 57
How do I check the planetary gear oil level?
Park the vehicle on level and solid ground so that the oil check mark (2) is horizontal. Remove the oil filler neck screw plug (1); the oil level should be at the bottom edge of the opening. If necessary, top up with CLAAS Agrishift B LS 90 (85W-90) oil. p. 297
