SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
Guidelines for Regular Maintenance
WARNING:
All shields must be replaced after maintenance or adjustment procedures are
performed. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.
General Maintenance
Performing regular maintenance on the TURF TIGERspreader will help ensure optimal performance. Please
follow these guidelines for maintaining your spreader:
•
Clean the spreader after each use.
•
Check the spreader each time it is used for loose, bent, broken or missing parts.
ATTENTION:
During operation, listen for abnormal sounds which might indicate loose
parts or other equipment damage. Correct any parts problems immediately; expanded parts
views of all spreader assemblies are provided in the Appendixes at the back of this manual.
•
ATTENTION:
NEVER store material in the spreader between unloading times during
critical cold weather months when a frozen load could result in severe equipment damage
(i.e. torn floor apron belt). Storing wet material in the spreader (or keeping the spreader
outdoors with material in it) will accelerate rusting of the steel. Be aware that storing
material in the spreader also makes the material difficult to unload (i.e. it may solidify/
harden).
•
For PTO Hydraulic Models:
Inspect the PTO safety shield and chain regularly to check the
condition of the links; replace the shield and chain as soon as weakness/breakage is noted.
•
Inspect the transportation safety chains to check the condition of the links; replace the chains
as soon as weakness/breakage is noted.
•
For Saber Tooth™ Beater and Brush Attachments:
Lightly grease the lube fitting on each
attachment every 100 hours. (These fittings are located at the non-drive ends).
ATTENTION:
All lube fittings are SAE standard.
Worn grease fittings that will not hold
the gun and/or fittings with a stuck check ball must be replaced.
•
For PTO Hydraulic Models:
Lube the hydraulic PTO shaft universal joints once a year or
every 100 hours.
NOTE:
The main bearings on the spreader are sealed and DO NOT require greasing.
