Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance based on the crop being harvested. Refer to the operator's manual for specific recommendations to optimize threshing and minimize grain loss.

Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Keep sieves and chaffers clean to ensure proper separation of grain from chaff. Regularly remove any debris or buildup to maintain optimal performance and prevent grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the recommended intervals in the operator's manual. Proper lubrication is crucial for extending bearing life and preventing costly breakdowns.
