CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS
1. Before each use make a thorough visual check of
the spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
CHECK FOR WORN OF DAMAGED PARTS
2. Check for worn or damaged parts before each use.
Repair or replace parts if necessary.
CHECK TIRE INFLATION
3. Check if tires are adequately inated before each use.
Do not inate tires beyond maximum recommended
pressure.
1. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and
dry off before storing.
2. Store in a clean, dry area.
CLEANING
4. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and

LUBRICATE (See gure 15)
5. Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the
sprocket and gear.
6. Oil the nylon bushings on the vertical sprocket shaft
and on the axle at least once a year, or more often as
needed.
7. Oil right hand (idler) wheel at least once a year or more
often as needed.
MAINTENANCE STORAGE
1. If the axle, slotted gear and sprocket assembly is
disassembled, mark down the positions of the parts
as they are removed. The drive wheel and sprocket
positions in relation to the slotted gear determine
which direction the spreader plate will spin. Be sure
to reassemble them in their original positions. (Refer
to gure 3 on page 4.) Use shim washers (Ref. no. 21
on pages 10 and 11) as needed for minimum backlash.
Add grease to gear and sprocket.
2. If the agitator hairpin becomes damaged or worn it can
be replaced. Remove old agitator hairpin from hole in
sprocket shaft and replace with new agitator hairpin.
See gure 16.
