What should I pay attention to before using cotton harvester?

When operating the cotton harvester, you should read the instruction manual carefully, pay special attention to the use of the specified grade of fuel, keep the oiler clean, and keep the lubricating oil clean, add enough quantity, and replace it regularly. Consistent with the instruction manual.

The air filter of cotton harvester is cleaned and maintained every day to ensure the filtering effect and unobstructed flow. Pay attention to adding cooling water, do not make the engine work in a water-deficient state. Tighten bolts and nuts, especially connecting rod bolts, bolts on the drive shaft, locking nuts on the flywheel, and tightening nuts on wheels.

When the new cotton harvester is used in operation, it is necessary to carry out a run-in test run. After running-in, clean the oil filter screen and residual impurities in the oil, replace the oil if necessary, and clean the oil pan. Do not modify the machine and increase the engine speed at will, these operations are likely to cause mechanical failures and cause agricultural machinery safety accidents.


What are the operation steps of cotton harvester?

(1) The walking speed of the cotton harvester should be adjusted in time according to the height, density and ground conditions of the cotton, generally controlled at 4-5.6km/h. When encountering low cotton (plant height less than 50cm), the operation speed should be slowed down and the speed should not exceed 4km/h. If the speed is too fast, the lower cotton will be easily missed.

(2) The cotton harvester should be stopped in time if it fails, and the cotton harvester should be separated first when reversing, otherwise the cotton harvester will be reversed and the machine parts will be damaged. Eliminate the failure of the transmission part, it should be carried out when the flame is turned off. The cotton picker must be equipped with more than two dry powder fire extinguishers.

(3) cotton harvester unloading should be carried out on flat ground. It is strictly forbidden to walk when unloading cotton, avoid wires in the air and parts that hinder safety, and unload cotton at the leeway in windy conditions.


How to perform daily maintenance on cotton harvester?

(1) Check engine oil, cooling oil, hydrostatic oil, etc. before cotton harvester operation, and add it if it is insufficient. Clean hydraulic oil coolers and A/C condensers, check diesel filters for water or deposits, and drain or clean if necessary.

(2) The cotton harvester cleans the cotton picking head after the daily operation, including the doffer drum, the spindle humidifier, the suction door, the cotton harvesting head, the surrounding of the cotton picking drum and the base, and the back of the spindle picking seat tube. After cleaning, lubricate the pick seat tube, sun gear, upper gear and cam track using the on-board lubrication system.
