Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance based on the crop being harvested. Proper concave settings minimize grain damage and maximize threshing efficiency.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts and chains can slip, causing reduced performance and premature wear.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffers frequently to remove debris and ensure proper airflow. Clogged sieves reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss.
- Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication prevents bearing failure and extends the life of the combine.
