Deutz Fahr 5650 H, 5660 HTS, 5680 H, 5660 HTS Balance, 5680 H Balance 2006 Operators Manual

If you are running a Deutz Fahr combine and something starts acting up mid-harvest, you do not have time to flip through internet forums. You need the factory book. This is the 2006 Deutz Fahr 5650 H, 5660 HTS, 5680 H, 5660 HTS Balance, 5680 H Balance Operators Manual – 460 pages of what the engineers intended for the operator. I have seen too many guys burn up a clutch or jam a header because they thought they knew better than the manual. Don’t be that guy.

7 Systems Covered: From Safety to the Balance System

The table of contents is laid out like a job checklist. Chapter 1 – Foreword/Introduction with symbol conventions. Chapter 2 – Safety measures. Chapter 3 – Safety symbols. Chapter 4 – Construction and functions covering the threshing section, winnowing section, and cutting table. Chapter 5 – Technical data. Chapter 6 – Operating controls including the on-board computer, function sets, and troubleshooting. Chapter 7 – Commander Control 2000 with calibration for concave clearances, sieve adjustment, and error messages. Chapter 8 – Electronic cutting table control (EMR-D) with fault diagnosis and error codes. Chapter 9 – Balance system operation and automatic cutting angle control. Chapter 10 – Tests before commissioning. That is every major system you need to understand before you even turn the key.

Does This Operators Manual Cover the Fuel System?

Look at the chapter list – fuel system is not its own section. But the operating controls chapter (6) includes the ignition switch, shift lever, and instrument cluster. The technical data chapter (5) includes engine specs that tie into fuel consumption. If you need a full fuel system overhaul, you want the workshop manual. For daily operation, fuel handling, and safety around fuel – the safety measures chapter (starting on page 2.1) covers that. Page 5.1 has the technical data for your specific model. Never assume the aftermarket generics cover the same ground.

Commander Control 2000: Calibration and Error Messages

This is where the manual pays for itself. Chapter 7 walks you through system start and shutdown, setting speed warning limits, automatic reel speed control, and concave clearance adjustments. Page 7.12 shows the exact procedure for setting concave clearances. Then calibration sections cover sieve adjustment, straw guide plate, spreader plates, and concave clearances. Error messages and warnings are listed from page 7.22. If you get a code on the TERIS/TCS terminal, you can look it up instead of guessing. That saves hours of downtime.

Get the Right Torque Data Before You Start

Torque specs are not printed in an operators manual the way a service manual does it. But what you do get in chapter 5 is the technical data you need for fluid capacities, tire pressures, and weights. If you are mounting a front attachment or adjusting the cutting table, the EMR-D chapter (8) gives you calibration and mounting instructions. For actual bolt torques on major components, pair this manual with the Deutz Fahr 5650 5660 5670 5680 5690 Workshop Manual. That workshop manual has the detailed torque tables for head bolts, bearing caps, and driveline fasteners.

Source Authenticity: OEM Factory Print from 2006

This is the real deal – a direct scan of the original Deutz Fahr instruction book published February 2006. The copyright page shows part number 307.3726.3.6 englisch (en) 02.2006. I have seen too many aftermarket reprints where the torque values are offset by 10 ft-lb or the wiring colors are swapped. Not here. This is the same binder the dealer would hand you with a new 5650 H. No generic third-party junk. If you want the same information the factory technician uses, this is it.

Who Should Buy This Manual?

If you own any of these five models – 5650 H, 5660 HTS, 5680 H, 5660 HTS Balance, 5680 H Balance – this is your day-to-day reference. The Balance system adjustment (chapter 9) and the automatic cutting angle control are unique to those models. The manual also covers the 5690 HTS and 5690 HTS Balance in the header, but the specific content matches the listed models. The audience is the operator who wants to understand the controls, calibrate the electronics, and perform daily checks. Beginners will appreciate the symbol conventions on page 1.6 and the safety symbols section. Experienced hands will use it for the error code list and calibration procedures.

No. This is the operator’s manual. For repairs, get the workshop manual.

Does this manual cover the 5690 HTS?

The title page lists combine harvester models 5650 H through 5690 HTS Balance.

If you own a 5690 HTS, check the manual’s table of contents and technical data section on page 5.1 – it may include data for that model, but the product is explicitly for the five models listed. Always verify your machine serial number against the manual’s applicability.

Can I use this to calibrate the concave clearances?

Yes, chapter 7 Commander Control 2000 includes setting concave clearances on page 7.12 and calibration steps. You also need to calibrate sieve adjustment, straw guide plate, spreader plates. The manual walks you through each calibration procedure with the TERIS/TCS terminal.

You have a machine that cost six figures sitting in your yard. Do not trust it to memory or a photocopy. Access the Factory Manual and keep a copy in the cab. When something goes sideways – and it will – you will have the exact procedure, the right safety warnings, and the factory calibration data. That is how you keep the combine in the field and not in the shop.
