Maintenance
35
A full maintenance schedule is provided in the relevant section of the operators book
and this should be followed to ensure reliable operation of the combine.
When checking belt tensions there are three main types of tensioner that are fitted
to TUCANO Combines:
1. End to end guides – Correct tension is achieved when the ends of “D” are end to
end. To tension the belt, slacken nut K from M and wind M in a clockwise
direction until the ends of D are met then re lock nuts M and K. If the belt needs
removing please consult the relevant section of the operators manual.
2.
Centre to centre guides – work in exactly the same way as the end to end
tensioners except the belt is at the correct tension when the tabs overlap the
full length of the recessed part of the tabs.
3.
Gold tube type – Under the correct tension the gold tube should be just able to
turn, if loose it will need tightening. To tension slacken Nut K slightly, tighten
“R” until it meets the gold tube. It should still be possible to rotate the tube by
hand with a firm grip. Then lock the assembly with the nut K.
During the daily combine maintenance make sure the top of the gearbox, around the
brake area and the machine is blown down.
