Operation Instructions & Troubleshooting
AFTER USE / CLEANING THE SPREADER:
NOTE: Good “Dry Cleaning” (Method #1) is preferable
to poor “Wet Cleaning” (Method #2).
•
It is virtually impossible to have rust and corrosion on a
clean, dry, oiled surface.
•
Again - just before using - oil all bearings & moving parts.
•
In storage, ideally the spreader should be hung by the
handle. In any case, do not pile weight on the spreader, as
excess weight over a period of time can distort the tires.
Oil Bearings and All Moving Parts
Make sure the spreader is running freely!
Wipe
spreader
thoroughly
with an oily
cloth. Oil all
bearings and
bearing
areas.
METHOD #1
Wash, rinse,
and dry the spreader.
Note: Drying takes time.
Moisture trapped in bearing
areas is slow to go.
Immediately after drying
- oil all bearings and
moving parts.
Make
certain all operations are
thorough.
METHOD #2
CLEAN AND OIL SPREADER IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE
