LUBRICATION
GREASING
There are numerous grease fittings on the Top Shot. Lubricated properly and often with a high-quality
grease, will prolong the life of the spreader. Replace any missing or plugged grease fittings.
Wipe dirt from the fittings before greasing to prevent the dirt from being forced into the bearing or pivot.
Grease should come out around the shaft on sleeve type bearings. On the sealed ball bearings, grease
should be added slowly until a slight bead forms at the seal indicating the correct amount of lubricant. To
minimize dirt build-up, avoid excessive greasing. After greasing, wipe off the excess grease from around
the outside of the bearings to prevent the accumulation of chaff and grit.
NOTE:Grease all fittings at the intervals of operation listed, before and after storing the Top Shot. Use a
good grade of Lithium-base grease.
