Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance based on the crop being harvested. Proper concave settings minimize grain loss and prevent excessive wear.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check and adjust belt and chain tension regularly. Loose belts and chains can slip, causing reduced performance and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers frequently to remove debris and prevent blockages. This ensures proper grain separation and minimizes grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication extends the life of bearings and prevents costly breakdowns.
