Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust concave clearance according to the crop being harvested to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain loss.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains to prevent slippage, wear, and potential breakdowns.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers regularly to remove debris and ensure proper airflow, which is crucial for efficient grain cleaning and minimizing grain loss.
- Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent premature wear and failure. Pay special attention to bearings on the header, separator, and unloading auger.
- Pre-Season Preparation: Before each harvesting season, thoroughly inspect the combine, including all belts, chains, bearings, hoses, and electrical connections. Replace worn or damaged parts to ensure reliable operation.
