Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Consult the operator's manual for recommended settings based on the crop being harvested.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for proper tension and wear. Loose belts or chains can lead to slippage, reduced performance, and premature failure. Adjust or replace as needed.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Periodically clean the sieves and chaffers to remove debris and ensure proper airflow. Clogged sieves can reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Proper lubrication is essential for preventing bearing failure and extending the life of critical components.
