CLEANING THE SPREADER
TROUBLESHOOTING
USE AND CARE
METHOD #1 -
Wipe spreader thoroughly with an oily cloth.
Oil all bearings and bearing areas.
METHOD #2 -
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.
NOTE:
Good “Dry Cleaning” is preferable to poor “Wet Cleaning”.
- It is virtually impossible to have rust and corrosion on a
clean, dry, oiled surface.
- Again (just before using) oil all bearings and 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!
CLEAN AND OIL THE SPREADER IMMEDIATELY
AFTER EACH USE.
