8 Operating Procedures
Insert the hair pin cotter to secure the chute as-
sembly in position.
To realign the shafts for spreading, reverse the
above steps. When the chute has been secured
to the spreader, check that the coupler has fully
engaged the spring pin on the spinner shaft. If
it is not engaged turn the spinner shaft until the
spring pushes the coupler over the spinner shaft
and the coupler engages the spring pin. A fully
engaged spinner will look like drawing 6023.
STORAGE
Store the spreader in a dry protected area when
it will not be used for an extended period of time.
Perform the following maintenance procedures
at the end of the season to ensure that the ma-
chine remains in good operating condition.
1. Disconnect and remove the battery from
the spreader. Apply a light coat of dielectric
grease to all electrical terminals, and cap or
tape loose terminals to prevent damage or
corrosion.
2. Wash the spreader to flush out any remain
-
ing material.
3. Inspect for worn or damaged components.
Repair or replace as needed.
4. Grease all bearings. Grease points are
identified in the Maintenance & Service

5. Oil conveyor and roller chains.
Maintain the spreader engine according to the
Briggs & Stratton owner’s manual that is shipped

in the Briggs & Stratton manual.
If service or repair is required, contact an au-
thorized Briggs & Stratton service center. The
service center will ask for the model, type and
code number of the engine.
