Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust concave clearance based on the crop being harvested. Proper adjustment minimizes grain loss and maximizes threshing efficiency.
Belt and Chain Tension: Routinely check belt and chain tension throughout the combine, particularly on the header, feeder house, and threshing mechanism. Loose belts and chains can cause slippage and damage.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer regularly to remove debris and ensure proper air flow. Clogged sieves can lead to excessive grain loss over the back.
Bearing Greasing: Follow the recommended greasing schedule for all bearings on the combine, paying close attention to bearings on rotating components like the cylinder, augers, and cleaning fan.
