Mounting the Spinner/Chute Assembly
a.)
Attach the spinner/chute assembly to the spreader using the four (4)
3/8-16 X 5/8” hex head bolts, lock washers, and nuts. The head of the bolt is
to be placed on the inside of the chute assembly. Push the chute assembly
towards the cab of the vehicle. Loosely attach the hardware, but do not
tighten at this time.
b.)
Install the roller chain between the sprocket mounted to the spinner/chute
assembly and the gearbox sprocket. Make sure both sprockets are in line with
one another. Tighten the gearbox sprocket set screw. Install the roller chain
master link.
c.)
To adjust the roller chain tension, loosen the spinner shaft bearing bolts and
slide the shaft away from the gearbox sprocket. Be sure to maintain the
vertical alignment of the spinner shaft and the bearings before tightening the
hardware. The correct chain tension should allow for a 5/16” deflection
midway between both chain sprockets.
CAUTION! Do not over-tighten the chain tension. This can cause damage to
the chain, bearings, and gearbox.
d.)
Install the chain guard using the three (3) 1/4-20 X 3/4” hex head bolts, lock
washers, and nuts
e.)
Tighten all hardware to the recommended torque specifications as shown in
this manual.
