Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance to ensure optimal threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for specific recommendations based on the crop being harvested.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check and adjust belt and chain tension on all drives regularly. Loose belts and chains can lead to slippage, reduced efficiency, and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffers frequently to prevent clogging and maintain effective grain cleaning. Remove any accumulated debris or crop residue.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication is essential for extending bearing life and preventing costly repairs.
