Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust concave clearance to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for specific settings based on crop type.
Belt and Chain Tension: Routinely check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts and chains can lead to slippage, reduced efficiency, and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers regularly to ensure proper airflow and efficient grain separation. Clogged sieves can reduce harvesting capacity and increase grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Proper lubrication is essential for preventing bearing failure and extending the life of critical components.
