1It won't start
Try this first:
- Petrol/diesel: check there is fuel and that the fuel tap is open.
- Check the engine oil level – many engines will not start when the oil is low.
- Petrol: use the choke on a cold engine and check the engine switch is ON.
- Electric: check the plug, the isolator switch and the circuit breaker at the board.

2Grain is left on the heads / cobs
Try this first:
- Feed more slowly so each head is threshed properly.
- Make sure the crop is dry enough.
- Check the engine is at full working speed.
