The temperature is low in winter, and the maintenance of agricultural machinery is particularly important. This post will introduce you to the precautions for the maintenance of corn harvesters in winter.
After field work, the corn harvester enters the idle period, and the first step is to clean the machine. Dust and sand on the appliance can corrode and paint if you don’t clean it first and put it in there, so you have to clean it. Rinse part of the soil inside and outside the corn harvester with clean water, and cover grass and other sundries. Remove the machine chain, soak it in diesel oil, and then soak it in engine oil for 5-10 minutes. Then remove the chain and hold it still until there are no oil drips. Then put the butter on top, wrap it in plastic bag or brown paper, and put it in a dry and clean place.
In addition to the chain, the belt should also be removed, wiped clean, and then checked for wear on the belt. You can then coat it with talcum powder and hang it in a cool, ventilated place. Then remove the generator, battery and other parts, and keep them properly.
Then it is necessary to clean the engine oil in the oil pan and the diesel oil in the diesel engine. Then when the water temperature drops, turn on the switch of the cooling parts such as the water tank, and drain the cooling water. Then check those parts that are easy to wear and deform, especially those that are prone to failure during work, and repair and replace the parts in time.
After the inspection, it is necessary to do some maintenance work. The first is to paint and touch up paint in time. Because the corn harvester is often exposed to the sun and rain, in order to reduce the degree of corrosion, it must be painted in time. Then the adjustment bolts and safety clutch claws of parts like cutters need some lubricating oil.
Then there are some spring parts that need to be relaxed. And some hydraulic cylinders should leave the working position. Then perform a complete smoothing according to the requirements of the harvester smoothing diagram.
The place where the corn harvester is parked needs to arrange certain fire prevention measures. Then add a small amount of oil to the engine cylinder every month, turn the crankshaft at least once or twice, and press each hydraulic handle dozens of times.
After the harvester has been cleaned, it can be put into the hangar if possible, and if not, it should be covered with a simple shed to prevent rain and sun. Then use a plastic bag to tie up the fuel filler of diesel and engine oil, the air filter, and the exhaust pipe to prevent dust from entering. Then prop up the jack and pad it with square wood so that the front and rear wheels are off the ground. Then lower the header and reel of the corn harvester to the lowest position and place them on the skid.
