Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance based on the crop being harvested. Proper concave adjustment is critical for efficient threshing and minimizing grain loss.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts or chains can lead to slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffers regularly to remove debris and ensure proper air flow. Clogged sieves can lead to increased grain loss and reduced harvesting efficiency.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Proper lubrication is essential for preventing bearing failure and ensuring smooth operation.
