If not too many splits I would do as LaGary said and close down the concave and run the rotor faster. IH recommended a concave setting of 4 and rotor speed of 400 rpm. I had to set the concave at 3 and run the rotor speed between 550 and 670 rpm to get all the pods threshed. Slowed it down to 550 when the sun came out and were getting too many splits. I run a squirrel cage fan at max speed but have two airfoil seives which require a lot of air. If you are getting too many splits and can't speed up the rotor or close the concave, I would, as you mentioned, increase the air and slightly close the shoe sieve which will increase the tailings. Hopefully the increased tailings will be the unthreshed pods and not just beans which could again result in too many splits
