Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust concave clearance according to the crop being harvested. Proper concave settings ensure efficient threshing and minimize grain loss.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check the tension of all belts and chains before each harvesting season and periodically during operation. Loose belts and chains can lead to slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer frequently to remove debris and ensure proper airflow. Clogged sieves can result in grain loss and reduced cleaning efficiency.
Bearing Greasing: Regularly grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication prevents friction, heat buildup, and premature bearing failure.
