6. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover
over the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl
cover acts as a wind and moisture shield, but
should not be used as a rain cover. See figure 18.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
1. Do not store spreader with any material in hopper.
2. Clean your spreader after use. Flush thoroughly
with water.
3. If for any reason the axle, gear and sprocket
assembly is disassembled, be sure to mark posi-
tion of parts as they are removed. Drive wheel
and sprocket position determine relation direction
of spreader plate. With reassembly of gear and
sprocket use shim washers as needed for mini-
mum backlash. Add grease to gear and sprocket.
4. If agitator wire becomes damaged or worn it can
be replaced. Loosen 3/8" lock nut on the top of
sprocket shaft until agitator wire is free. Remove
old agitator wire from hole in agitator sleeve and
replace with new agitator wire. Position agitator
wire so that sprocket shaft turns freely and tighten
3/8" lock nut on top of sprocket shaft. See figure
17.
