Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on crop type.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for wear and proper tension. Loose belts or chains can cause slippage, reduced efficiency, and premature component failure.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers regularly to prevent plugging and ensure efficient grain separation. Use compressed air or a brush to remove debris.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the recommended schedule outlined in the operator's manual. Proper lubrication is crucial for preventing bearing failure and extending component life.
