Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance according to the crop being harvested. Proper concave settings minimize grain loss and damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts and chains can cause slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Keep sieves and chaffers clean and free of debris. Clean sieves ensure efficient grain separation and reduce losses.
Bearing Greasing: Regularly grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication extends bearing life and prevents costly breakdowns.
