Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for specific recommendations based on the crop being harvested.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for proper tension and wear. Loose belts and chains can lead to slippage, reduced efficiency, and premature failure. Adjust or replace as needed.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer frequently to prevent buildup of debris, which can reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss. Pay close attention to this during humid conditions or when harvesting weedy crops.
Bearing Greasing: Regularly grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication is essential for preventing bearing failure and extending the life of the combine.
