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 origi-
nal positions. (Refer to figure 2 on page 4.) Use
shim washers (Ref. no. 20 on pages 12 and 13)
as needed for minimum backlash. Add grease
to gear and sprocket.
2.
If the agitator wire becomes damaged or worn it
can be replaced. Loosen the 3/8" hex nut on top
of the sprocket shaft until agitator wire is free.
Remove old agitator wire from hole in agitator
sleeve and replace with new agitator wire. Posi-
tion agitator wire so that sprocket shaft turns
freely, then tighten 3/8" hex nut on top of sprocket
shaft. See figure 18.
