The oiler pump is set at the factory to deliver the maximum amount of oil per cycle. If less oil is desired, loosen the jam
nut on the bottom of the pump and screw in the adjusting shaft 1/4” or approximately 5 turns. It is not recommended to
screw the shaft into the bottom of the oiler pump more than 15 turns as this may not allow for proper lubrication of the
roller chains.
8.2 ADJUSTMENTS
8.2.1 Front Drive Roller Chains
There are four roller chain drives located at the front of the spreader. Regularly check that all tensioning springs are in
serviceable condition for automatic roller chain tightening. Manually adjust spring tensioners (as needed) by turning
locknuts on all tensioning bolt/idler assemblies. Proper roller chain tension is when gap between spring coils measures
1/8” to 3/16”. Regularly re-check all roller chain tensions. Keep all roller chains tight at all times!
8.2.2 Balance of Spinners
Review the rear spinners to make sure all paddles are in place and securely fastened. The loss of a paddle or tooth can
cause the spinner to be unbalanced, causing damage such as premature bearing failure and cracking to occur to the
frame of the spreader. If the spinners are out of balance do not operate until corrective action has been taken.
Always use new 30 weight oil. In cold weather, use a SAE 10 or a
mixture of two parts of 30 weight oil to one part diesel fuel.
