The environment that the Litter Windrower is used in can be highly corrosive to steel 

components.  Therefore,  the  Litter Windrower  should  be  washed off after  each  use.   When 
washing the Litter Windrower with a high pressure washer, do not get water stream too close 
to the bearings on the Litter Windrower .  Although the bearings are sealed, a stream of high 
pressure  water  placed  too  close  to  the  bearings  may  penetrate  the  bearing  seals  allowing  
water  to  enter,  and  ultimately  damage,    the  bearings.    It  is  recommended  that  the  Litter    
Windrower be sheltered when not in use. 

Scraper Blade Replacement 

 

The  gearbox  on  the  Litter  Windrower  uses  80w90  gear  oil,  KMC  part  #  03-050-080. 

The oil level should be checked before the machine is used for the first time. The oil should 
then be changed after the first 30 to 50 hours of operation and then every 500 hours or annu-
ally. Gearbox Oil Capacity: ~85 Ounces

 

Cleaning Machine 

Gearbox Maintenance 

Chain Maintenance 

 

The Litter Windrower uses a #80 heavy 

chain  to  transmit  power  from  the  gearbox  to 
the augers. Before each use, the chain should 
be  inspected  for  wear.  The  chain  tension 
sprockets  should  also  be  checked  to  ensure 
proper  chain  tightness  and  to  prevent  chain  
slippage. Proper slack in tension side of chain 
should  be      1/2”  -  1”.  To  adjust  the  tension 
sprocket  loosen  the  5/8in  nut  with  a    15/16 
inch  wrench  and  slide  tension  sprocket  to 
tighten  chain.  Retighten  nut  and  check  chain 
tightness. The chain cover is packed with moly 
grease,  KMC  part  number  02-050-138,  to  lu-
bricate  the  chain.    Before  use,  remove  cover 
and  ensure  chains  are  running  through  moly 
grease  to  minimize  overheating.  Add  moly 
grease as needed.

The  scraper  blade  mounts  onto  the 

bottom of the main blade with 5/8” x 1 1/2” 
#3 Reg. plow bolts, lockwashers, and nuts.  
Mount  the  blade  with  the  beveled  edge 
down and to the rear. The scraper blade is 
double  sided  for  increased  life  and  should 
be  flipped  after  the  edge  has  worn  down 
3/4in or sooner.
