Maintenance
A full maintenance schedule is provided in the operators book and this should be
followed to ensure reliable operation of the combine.
When checking belt tensions there are two main types of tensioner that are fitted to
AVERO Combines
1. End to 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.
