MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
To keep your spreader running smoothly, lubricate the
grease
fi
ttings (as shown below) after each use and at
the end of each season.
AFTER FIRST USE
Tighten all mounting fasteners.
AFTER EACH USE
• Wash unit after each use to prevent material
build-up and corrosion.
NOTE: Do not spray water directly on the auger
bearing and seals.
• Apply dielectric grease on all electrical
connections to prevent corrosion.
AT END OF EACH SEASON OR
AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE
• Apply dielectric grease on all electrical
connections to prevent corrosion at the beginning
and end of the season and each time the power
plugs are disconnected.
• Wash out the hopper and rinse off all external
surfaces to prevent material build-up and corrosion.
• Paint or oil all bare metal surfaces at the end of
the season.
• Apply a small amount of light oil to latches as needed.
CAB CONTROL
Unplug the cab control from the control harness at
the end of the season or when the hopper is removed
from the vehicle.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
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.
RECYCLE
When your spreader has performed its useful life,
many of its components can be recycled.
WARNING
Never remove the spreader with material in
the hopper.
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.
