Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust concave clearance to ensure optimal threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Adjustments vary depending on crop type and moisture content.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check belt and chain tension regularly, especially before and during harvest season. Loose belts and chains can lead to slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers frequently to remove debris and ensure proper airflow. Clogged screens can reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication extends bearing life and prevents costly breakdowns during harvest.
