MAINTENANCE
Warning: When repairing, maintaining and cleaning the machine, it is particularly important
to be aware of the safety precautions. Park the tractor (if connected) as a precautionary
measure and disconnect power when servicing. Do not clean, lubricate or adjust the machine
before the tractor engine has been stopped and the parking brake is activated.
Important: Screws and bolts on your new machine must be tightened up after the first two
hours of operation. All moveable parts must be greased regularly for the best performance.
To extend the durability of the machine, frequent and thorough cleaning is recommended. Set
spring tension to loosest setting for ease of cleaning the machine and use plenty of water
when cleaning to avoid material freezing on the roller or rubber belts.
Remember: Do not spray water directly into bearings or bearing housings. If the machine is
stored for a lengthy period of time, spray it with acid-free oil before use. Remove all foreign
material from the roller. Check and lubricate all chain and bearings regularly.
It is important to properly maintain and service your spreader. Failure to comply
with the manufacturer’s suggested servicing proce dures may result in premature
wear and may hinder the machine’s performance.
ATTACHMENT OF THE MACHINE
Th
is spreader can be attached to the tractor using various methods. It is the operator’s
responsibility to make sure that it is connected and fastened properly and safely. Ensure that
the spreader sits horizontally when in operation.
Hydraulic Units:
E nsure the hydraulic hoses are properly connected to the tractor’s hydraulic
ports. Improper connection may damage the machine if the oil runs in the wrong direction.
Flow control and hoses to the motor are included.
PTO Units: Attach PTO shaft to the tractor. Make sure that the PTO yoke push pin is engaged
properly. Ensure the PTO shaft is cut to the proper length so there is no tension on the
gearbox when the spreader is raised. PTO shaft is included.
