MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
To keep your spreader running smoothly, observe the
following recommendations:
• Lubricate bearings after every 20 hours of use.
• Apply a small amount of light oil to latches as
needed.
• For model 1875 spreader installations using the
pivot mount, keep the pivot assembly well greased
to prevent corrosion.
AFTER EACH USE
• Wash out the hopper and rinse off all external
surfaces.
• Apply dielectric grease on all electrical
connections to prevent corrosion.
AT THE END OF EACH SEASON
OR AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE
• Wash out the hopper and rinse off all external
surfaces.
• Apply dielectric grease on all electrical
connections to prevent corrosion.
• Lubricate all grease
fi
ttings with good quality
multipurpose grease.
• Oil or paint all bare metal surfaces.
• If motor cover is removed for any reason, use
silicone sealant to ensure weather proo
fi
ng of
enclosure.
STORAGE
Unplug the cab control from the control harness at the
end of the season, or when the spreader is removed
from the vehicle. Store the spreader and cab control in
a clean, dry location, away from direct sunlight.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
See the Harness Wiring Diagram on the following
page for fuse ratings and locations.
If a problem should occur and fuse replacement is
necessary, the replacement fuse must be of the same
type and amperage rating as the original. Installing a
fuse with a higher rating can damage the system and
could start a
fi
re.
WARNING
Never remove the spreader with material in
the hopper.
CAUTION
• When replacing parts use only original
manufacturer's parts. Failure to do so will
void warranty.
• The control is a solid-state electronic unit
and is not serviceable. Any attempt to
service will void warranty.
• There are no serviceable parts in the motor/
transmission assembly. Any attempt to
service will void warranty.
• When pressure washing motor enclosure
area, stay at least 36" away from motor
enclosures.
CAUTION
Disconnect electric power at spreader
electrical wiring harness connection and tag
out if required before servicing or performing
maintenance.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave unused material in
hopper. Material can freeze or solidify,
causing unit to not work properly.
Empty and clean after each use.
