Essential Tips: How to Maintain Harvester Chains During the Off-Season?
2020-01-02
Because chains accumulate a lot of dust during operation, they easily become coated with grease and grime, which can impair transmission; therefore, they should be cleaned regularly. First wash them thoroughly in gasoline, then soak and boil them in engine oil for about 30 minutes. After removing them, allow the excess oil to drip off before use. At the end of each season’s work, the chain should be removed, soaked and boiled in oil, then coated with grease, wrapped up, and stored in a dry place. The sprockets should be wiped clean with gasoline or diesel and then coated with grease to prevent rust. When installing the chain, first wrap it around the sprocket, then insert the pins. Insert the pins from the inside out, so that the connecting plates and locking devices can be installed from the outside. The chain should also be neither too tight nor too loose—there should be a certain amount of slack to allow for smooth movement. When disassembling, you can
Due to the large amount of dust generated during chain operation, it easily becomes coated with grease and sludge, which can impair transmission performance. Therefore, the chain should be cleaned regularly: first wash it thoroughly in gasoline, then soak and boil it in engine oil for about 30 minutes, remove it, allow it to drip dry, and finally apply lubricant.
After each season’s operation, the chain must be removed, soaked in oil, coated with grease, and stored in a dry place. The sprockets should be cleaned thoroughly with gasoline or diesel and then coated with grease to prevent rust.
When installing the chain, first wrap it around the sprocket, then insert the chain pins from the inside out to facilitate the installation of the connecting plates and locking mechanism from the outside. The chain should be neither too tight nor too loose, allowing for a certain amount of slack to ensure smooth operation.
When disassembling, gently tap alternately with a hammer on the two connecting pins of the same link plate to drive them out, then remove the chain. If the chain pins have become rough and enlarged due to riveting, file them smooth before proceeding with disassembly.
