Conveyor Chain
WARNING
Stay out of the spreader� If it’s necessary to enter the spreader, return to the shop, empty
body, turn off all power, set vehicle brakes, lock engine starting switch and remove keys
before entering� Tag all controls to prohibit operation� Tags should be placed, and later
removed, only by person working in the body�
Hose down unit and remove any material build-up on sprockets and under chain�
NOTICE!
The conveyor will move away from the bottom panel if material accumulates under the conveyor or
on the sprockets� The more material that accumulates, the closer the chain will come to the chain
shields� If the conveyor should catch a chain shield, it could permanently damage the conveyor, the
chain shields or the unit� Do not remove material while conveyor or spinner is running!
Lubrication
Make sure unit is clean and completely dry� Lubricate
conveyor chain at the end of each day of usage using a
mixture of 75% diesel fuel and 25% SAE 10 oil� Shut down
spinner and run conveyor at 20 RPM for two full revolutions
to lubricate chain� After each unit washing, allow to dry,
then lubricate�
Tension
Proper chain tension is a factor in chain and sprocket life�
Measuring from rear of unit, conveyor should touch at 36” - 40”
(91 - 102cm) mark, and top of chain should appear between
MIN and MAX lines in sight window (Figure 1)� If manual
adjustments need to be made, on valve block, loosen jam nut,
turn counterclockwise to lower tension, or turn clockwise to
increase tension (Figure 2)� All tension adjustments must be
made when machine is unloaded and conveyor running 15-20
RPM�
