- Belt and Chain Tension: Check and adjust belt and chain tension before each harvest season and periodically during operation to prevent slippage and premature wear.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Keep sieves and chaffers clean to maintain optimal airflow and prevent grain loss over the back. Clean them daily or more frequently in dusty conditions.
- Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings regularly according to the lubrication schedule to prevent overheating and extend bearing life. Pay close attention to bearings on the header, cylinder, and cleaning shoe.
