4.02 - Service
Before beginning work:
1. Apply a thick layer of grease to all exposed moving parts.
2. Apply a film of biodegradable oil in crevices and corners in order to keep corrosive material from
rusting areas that are difficult to clean.
After each use:
1. Be sure to thoroughly wash the machine without using excessive pressure especially on the
moving parts. It is particularly important to wash the implement after using salt or fertilizer. This
will help prevent the caustic chemicals in the salt and fertilizer from destroying the metal of the
machine.
2. Carefully dry the machine.
3. Apply a thick layer of grease to all exposed moving parts.
4. Apply a film of biodegradable oil in crevices and corners.
After seasonal use it is important to perform the following for prolonged storage:
1. Wash and dry the spreader carefully.
2. Inspect the spreader and replace worn or damaged parts. If corrosive material has eaten under
the paint, clean off the area with a wire brush and touch up with primer and paint.
3. Tighten all hardware.
4. Apply a thick layer of grease to all exposed moving parts.
5. Apply a film of biodegradable oil in crevices and corners.
6. Cover the spreader from the elements in order to have it in perfect condition for the start of the
next season.
NOTE: The gearbox has been filled with EP grade grease from the factory. The grease never
needs replacing unless internal work is done to the gearbox. If necessary add SAE 90 oil
through the suitable cap by giving the proper inclination to the fertilizer spreader.
4.03 - Driveline
DANGER: Only use the original driveline supplied with this implement and always with the
safety shielding. Carefully read and file away the driveline operator’s manual supplied by the
manufacturer. The following does not substitute the information found in the driveline manual.
IMPORTANT: Always check driveline length during initial setup and when connecting to a different
tractor.
In the collapsed position the driveline should be approximately 2” from bottoming out to prevent
possible damage to the tractor or implement. When the driveline is in the maximum extended
position, the ideal minimum overlap of the two halves should be approximately 6” (see fig. 10).
