Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure optimal threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on the crop being harvested.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for proper tension. Loose belts can slip, reducing efficiency, while overtightened belts can damage bearings. Maintain correct tension according to the service manual.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffer to remove debris and ensure efficient grain separation. Clogged sieves can lead to grain loss and reduced harvesting capacity.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the lubrication schedule in the operator's manual. Proper greasing prevents premature wear and extends the life of critical components.
