Sliding Gate Scrapers
(See figure 5)
1. A high density polyeth-
ylene scraper bar is
clamped to the vertical
edges of the sliding
gate. These scrapers
must contact the vertical
box walls to clean mate-
rial.
2. To adjust, loosen the
seven 3/8 carriage bolts
clamping the scraper.

Move the scrapers so
they contact against the
box wall and retighten
bolts.
Drive Chain Slack
(
See figure 6)
1. To adjust the floor drive chain, run the sliding
gate all the way to the rear of the spreader
until it stops.
2. Remove the front panel of the sliding gate.
3. A threaded adjuster rod is provided where the
drive chain attaches to the sliding gate. It is
factory preset, but may require adjustment
with usage.
4. Loosen the two 7/8” hex nuts on the end of
the threaded rod. Tighten the inner nut until
the forty eight Belleville washers are almost
fully compressed (approximately 4-1/2”).
Tighten the outer nut against the inner to lock
the adjustment.
5. Replace the front panel.
NOTE: The Belleville washers are assembled in
“tail to tail” pairs and stacked per figure 11.
