Bought a new to me 2388 last week and have never ran an airfoil sieve. It looks like both the upper and lower are airfoil design. From everything I've read it sounds like it wants a ton of air and open the lower as much as possible for air flow. I tried opening it up quite a ways, but started getting a lot of trash in the bin. I have read that a lot of people blocked off the front part of the sieve with a "ripple tin" kit. I will try this first but I was just wondering what the basic settings are to get started. Can't seem to find a lot of advice from any companies that sell this type of system. Any advice would help. Thanks.

What crops are you in?

Only in 30 bu dryland and 100+ bu irrigated wheat for right now. We will be in buckwheat and edible beans later this year but just trying to get it set for wheat right now. Thanks.

You are on the right track. Cover up the front section and use the air to clean. Your fan belt and pulleys have to be in good shape. Generally you won`t throw grain over. Only crops I have had any trouble with is very dry flax. Have to put up with some trash in the bin but most other crops they work real nice. We run wheat wide open, somewhere around 1200rpm if I remember right. You will get to appreciate not having to screw around with sieves.
