Cleaning and lubrication

The  spreader  should  be  cleaned  regularly  to  prevent  accumulating  dust  from  freezing  or  clogging  the
machine. If ice builds up heavily preventing the normal use of the blower, defrost the attachment in a warm
area, as using chemicals may cause damage to the hydraulic hoses.

Wash the spreader thoroughly before long storage periods especially when the spreader  has  been  used  to
spread  salt.  You  may  use  a  pressure  washer  and  mild  detergent  to  wash  the  spreader.  Avoid  spraying
directly at the electric or hydraulic components or using solvents when washing. In addition, mind the labels
on the attachment. Lubricate the lubrication point on the bearings after washing.

Clean  the  attachment  before  long  storage  periods,  touch  up  the  paint  where  needed  and  grease  the
lubrication point to prevent rust  damage.  Service  the  drive  chain  as  shown  in  Chapter  7.4.  Ensure  that  the
attachment is supported during maintenance.

Lubrication:
There  are  4  lubricating  points  on  the  spreader  that  can  be  lubricated  with  a  standard  grease  press.  The
lubricating  points  are  at  the  bearings  at  the  ends  of  the  axles.  To  lubricate  the  lubricating  points,  the
protective covers must be opened. Replace the protective covers before using the equipment. Clean the end
of the nipple before greasing. Only add the grease an amount of a couple of grease press pushes at a time.

Lubricant must be added after approximately every 5 to 10 operating hours.

The rubber lip plate and the sweeping plate

The operation of the spreader is based on the  two  rubber  plates  leaning  against  the  spreading  axle,  which
makes  controlled  spreading  of  the  material  possible.  If  the  spreading  result  is  uneven  after  cleaning  and
adjusting  the  equipment, the  condition  of the  rubber  plates,  shown  in  the  figures  below,  must  be  checked.
The  edge  of  the  plates  should  be  even,  and  they  should  be  adjusted  to  lean  lightly  against  the  axle.  The
rubber lip plate under the spreader or the spreading  axle  itself may  get  damaged  if  hit,  resulting  in  uneven
spreading  of material  or leading  to more  serious  damage  to  the  spreader.  Contact  your  AVANT  dealer  for
maintenance services.
