Operating Lever Rod adjustments:
Tightening Beater Bar Chain:
Both operating levers are attached to a rod used to
engage parts of the spreader. These rods may need
to have the play taken out over time. To remove this
play from the rods put the levers in the top or
disengaged position. Loosen the bolts holding the
rod in place and take up any of the play in the rods.
Then retighten the bolts when done. For the Chain
drive mechanism rod, the adjustment is located
toward the front (labeled #1 in the photo to the left)
for the apron rod adjustment the adjuster is located
in the back above the left side hub (labeled #2 in the
photo to the right).
Over time the chain that controls the Beater bars my
get slack in it. To take this slack out you will need to
loosen the two bolts located on the sprocket holder
pointed out in the picture. There is a sprocket holder
with two bolts on both sides of the beater bar (a
total of 4 bolts) that will need to be loosened. Once
the bolts have been loosened, have someone help
by gently pulling the whole beater bar back till most
of the slack is gone from the chain. Make sure that
the beater bar is not sitting at an angle before using
the spreader. If the beater bar is sitting at an angle
please readjust the bar as it may cause damage to
your spreader.
Once the excess slack is gone from the
chain re-tighten all 4 bolts back down. Make sure to
allow some slack so that the sprockets do not seize
up when in use. Over tightening may cause damage
to chain, sprockets, spreader, or all parts previously
mentioned.
