Technical Guide for General Maintenance and Repair of Agricultural Machinery

The Technical Guide for General Maintenance and Repair of Agricultural Machinery, compiled by the China Agricultural Machinery Testing Centre under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and published by China Agricultural Science and Technology Press, is a practical manual designed to improve farmers' and machinery operators' awareness of maintenance and repair practices, enhance operational safety and efficiency, reduce machinery failures, and prolong equipment service life. The guide emphasizes that proper maintenance is essential for ensuring the reliability of agricultural machinery during critical farming operations and for supporting stable agricultural production.

The guide is organized into two parts. The first part presents maintenance principles in the form of simple and memorable rhymes, while the second part provides detailed technical instructions covering maintenance records, daily servicing, periodic maintenance, major overhauls, trial operation procedures, and long-term storage practices.

Serving as a practical reference for agricultural machinery operators, technicians, and extension personnel, the guide combines maintenance knowledge with operational guidance to support effective machinery management throughout the equipment life cycle. By promoting preventive maintenance, proper operation, timely servicing, and systematic management practices, it helps improve equipment reliability, extend service life, reduce operating costs, and contribute to efficient and sustainable agricultural production
