1) 1on conveyor idler shaft bearing (2 bearings) (picture #8)
2) 1 on drive shaft bearing (picture #7)
3) 1 on spinner shaft bearing ( 2 bearings if one hydraulic motor is used, 1 bearing
if two hydraulic motors are used) (Picture #11)
4)
1 on “U”-Joint (if two hydraulic motors are used)) (picture #10)
5) 1 on each coupling split shaft and gear box coupling (pictures #5 and #6)
d) Check the hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks, as well as the pump drive belts
for wear, at least once a week.
Yearly Inspection
a) At the end of the operating season, the unit should be thoroughly cleaned and
lubricated. The conveyor chain (picture #9) should, ideally, be stored in oil. These
preventative measures should prevent premature rusting of the unit. Grease bolts
on the chain tighteners (picture #8)
b) At this time or before the start of the next season, it is wise to check all drive
components for appreciable wear. Any components which are questionable should
be replaced now. This short and simple check will avoid down time during the
operating season.
c) Change the gear box oil.
e) Replace the oil filter. (Note: If the unit is utilized year round, replace it twice a
year).
Before Operating
a) Grease all lubrication points.
b) Ensure that the conveyor chain is dragging for one foot on the bottom return
channel, of the spreader. (Do not over tighten the chain).
c) Ensure all hydraulic fittings are tight.
d) The hydraulic oil level, in the tank, should be at the center of the oil level eye.
