Before the beginning of each harvesting season, the combine harvester should undergo a thorough check. By ensuring that the machine is in really good condition, costly breakdowns will be avoided.
Thoroughly clean the combine harvester inside and out, if this was not done after the last harvesting season. Reinstall all belts and check belt tension.
Re-adjust chain tension and make sure the chains on the grain and tailings elevators are in a clean condition.
Clean the slip clutches. Then adjust the spring tension (see under "Slip Clutch" in the "Service - Drives" section).
