SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENT
Guidelines for Regular Maintenance
WARNING: All shields must be replaced after maintenance or adjustment procedures are
performed. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.
Performing regular maintenance on the TURF TIGER Spreader will help ensure optimal performance. Please
follow these guidelines for maintaining your spreader.
General TURF TIGER Maintenance
• Clean the spreader once a week and before storing the unit for an extended period of time.
ATTENTION: NEVER store material in the spreader between unloading times during critical cold
weather months when a frozen load could result in severe equipment damage (i.e. torn floor apron
chain). DO NOT store wet material in the spreader (or keep the spreader outdoors with material in
it)--doing so will accelerate rusting of the steel. Be aware that storing material in the spreader also
makes the material difficult to unload (i.e. it may solidify/harden).
• Check the spreader each time it is used for loose, bent, broken or missing parts.
ATTENTION: During operation, listen for abnormal sounds which might indicate loose
parts or other equipment damage. Correct any parts problems immediately; expanded parts
views of all spreader assemblies are provided in the Appendixes at the back of this manual.
ATTENTION: For safe and proper operation of the spreader, adhere to the following
specifications for tightening the hitch hardware; failure to tighten all hitch hardware securely may
result in equipment damage.
Hardware Torque Specification
1/2" 60 ft. lbs.
3/8" 25 ft. lbs.
5/16" 15 ft. lbs.
• Check and grease the lube fitting at the PTO (at the front of the spreader) once a year. Remove the
telescoping shaft, clean, and add a light coating of grease.
• Inspect the safety chain regularly to check the condition of the links and locking/hooking
mechanisms; replace the chain as soon as weakness/breakage is noted.
Wheel/Tire Maintenance
• Once a month, check the wheel lug bolt torque. The recommended torque is 75-80 ft. lbs.
• Check the tires and maintain proper tire pressure:
• 18 PSI for Turf Tires
ATTENTION: When storing the spreader for a period of time, block up the spreader to remove
weight from the tires. Doing so helps to prevent any possible damage to the tires.
CAUTION: When spreading sand, be sure to make a "dry run" every third load to
allow accumulated sand to dislodge from the apron chain. Failure to do so will result
in extreme tension in the chain, which may cause serious damage to the unit.
