LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
Lubrication
Make sure unit is clean and completely dry. Lubricate conveyor chain at the end of each day of usage using
a mixture of 75% diesel fuel and 25% SAE 10 oil. Shut down spinner and run conveyor at 20 RPM for two full
revolutions to lubricate chain. After each unit washing, allow to dry, then lubricate.
Before filling the unit with spreading material, activate the controller or power switch to run the pump oiler. Bleed
all air from the lines and adjust the two spray nozzles so that the oil mixture sprays vertical onto the sprockets and
chain.
Tension
Proper chain tension is also a factor in chain
and sprocket life (Figure 2). Measure from
rear of unit forward to achieve proper chain
tension. Make sure chain is tensioned equally
on both sides. This adjustment is made on
each side of the unit at the idler bearings.

Figure 2 - Chain Tension
Conveyor chains that are too tight will tend to stretch, causing excess sprocket wear and eventually breakage.
Excess slack presents the possibility of chain catching on sub-frame parts. Bent or distorted chain bars will cause
damage as well. Straighten or replace bent or distorted chain bars immediately. It also causes fertilizer leakage with
chain conveyors.
BIN SENSOR
WARNING
Stay out of the spreader. Do not climb on spreader. Use a portable ladder to inspect, clean
and maintain the bin sensor from outside the spreader. Failure to do so could result in injury
from falling.
NOTICE!
Wipe sensor clean periodically to prevent accumulation of product. Avoid wet material as it may
stick to sensor. If material sticks to sensor it won’t warn user when bin is low.
Clean sensor with long handled brush or hose from outside of spreader. Do not aim high pressure sprayer directly
at sensor—it could damage the components.
