Grease Fitting Lubrication
The spreader is designed to require minimal lubrication. However, the importance of sufficient and
proper lubrication cannot be over emphasized as it is the best insurance against unnecessary
repairs and will greatly increase the life and performance of the machine.
Lubricate all the grease fitting every six months or after 50 loads, whichever comes first. Be care
-
ful not to over grease the sealed bearings as too much grease could push out the seal and al-
low dust or debris to contaminate the bearing. One half of a stroke from a manual grease pump
should be sufficient. Be sure to wipe all the dust and debris away from the grease fitting before
greasing. If it is not clean you may force some dirt into the bearing.
Non sealed (friction) grease points will not be damaged by over greasing and should be kept vis-
ibly wet with grease.
NOTE:
There are friction grease points on the axle pivots. These are espe-
cially critical to be kept well greased at all times.
MAINTENANCE
Apron Chain Maintenance
Apply chain lube to the apron chain after each
period of use to lubricate and prohibit rust.
The apron chain may need to be tightened
periodically. The apron chain can be adjusted
by using the apron tensioner bolts (Figure 7)
on the front of the spreader. Be sure to ad-
just both sides equally so the chain is pulling
straight.
