Maintenance and servicing

The attachment has been designed to be as maintenance free as possible. Continuous maintenance of the
broom consists of regular cleaning and monitoring the general condition of the spreader. You may use a
pressure washer and mild detergent to wash the spreader. However, avoid spraying directly at the rain cover
or the labels on the attachment. The following maintenance procedures must be done regularly:

■

The wheel shafts and clutches must be cleaned and lubricated regularly. Also the clutch surface on

the wheel rim must be lubricated lightly.

■

Before longer storage periods clean the attachment, touch up paint where needed and lubricate the

wheel hubs and clutch surfaces. Also check the tyre pressure.

If the spreader does not function normally, first check the wheels, clutch pins, and the condition of the doser
shaft. Clean the spreader thoroughly and remove possible trash coiled around the doser shaft. Contact
service if the spreader does not work normally after thorough cleaning.

If the spreader becomes clogged because of ice and frozen material in the spreader, take the attachment to
a warm place to allow it to melt. If possible, remove material from the spreader first. Do not use any
chemicals to melt the spreader, and do not hammer the spreader to avoid damaging it.
