Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect cutting blades: Check blades for sharpness and damage before each use and replace as needed to ensure optimal cutting performance and minimize crop loss.
- Grease moving parts: Lubricate all grease fittings on the cutting platform head at least every 8 hours of operation, using a high-quality grease specified in the Hume operator's manual, to reduce wear and prevent breakdowns.
- Check belt tension: Inspect belt tension regularly and adjust according to the Hume operator's manual. Loose belts can cause slippage, leading to reduced efficiency and premature wear.
- Clean the cutting platform head: Remove crop residue and debris from the cutting platform head after each use, or at least daily, to prevent buildup that can cause overheating, corrosion, and reduced performance.
