Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance based on the crop being harvested to optimize threshing efficiency and minimize grain damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect and adjust all belts and chains regularly, paying close attention to the header drive, feeder house, and separator drive. Proper tension prevents slippage and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers daily to prevent buildup of debris, which reduces airflow and grain separation efficiency. Use compressed air or brushes to remove material.
Bearing Greasing: Follow the recommended greasing schedule for all bearings, especially those on the header, feeder house, and separator. Proper lubrication extends bearing life and prevents costly downtime.
