CAUTION: ALWAYS STOP THE MACHINE TO LUBRICATE OR TO MAKE ANY
ADJUSTMENTS.
The Model 125, 175, & 250 spreaders are designed to require a minimum of lubrication. However, the importance of sufficient
and proper lubrication cannot be over-emphasized as it is the best insurance against unnecessary repairs and greatly increases
the life of the machine.
The operator should become familiar with all lubrication points and establish a systematic routine to insure complete
and quick lubrication of the machine. Refer to the following pages for location of grease fittings.
The following system of lubrication is suggested:
Lubricate the entire machine thoroughly with grease every 100 loads or once a month, whichever comes first. Make certain
the grease fittings are free of paint and dirt and force grease into them until the grease comes out around the shaft. Caution:
Do not over lubricate sealed bearings. Following a regular maintenance schedule (see above) 1 stroke of a manual grease
pump into a U joint Zerk fitting and 2 strokes on any other sealed bearing should be sufficient.
The following greases are recommended for use rather than other EP-2 lubricants, because they are less prone to
washing out under exposure to rain and other fluids.

NOTE: Use care when greasing universal joints, as seals may be damaged.
