Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance based on the crop being harvested to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for proper tension and wear. Loose belts and chains can lead to slippage and reduced efficiency.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers frequently to remove debris and ensure efficient grain separation. Clogged sieves can result in grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Lubricate all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper greasing prevents premature bearing failure and extends the lifespan of components.
