ADJUSTMENTS
A1
-
INSPECT APRON TENSION DAILY!! -
The apron chain is adjusted by (4) adjuster bolts located at the front of
the box frame. Turn the nuts to pull the tensioners forward to remove all slack. Check that there is no sag at
the front or rear of the spreader. Tension evenly so that chain runs centered. When there is no more
adjustment left on the screws, loosen the nuts and push the bolts in as far as they will go. Then, remove a link
from each chain and readjust.
FAILURE TO KEEP THE APRON PROPERLY TENSIONED WILL RESULT IN EXCESSIVE CHAIN SAG, CAUSING SEVERE
DAMAGE TO THE APRON AND VERTICAL BEATER ASSEMBLY.
LUBRICATION
L1
-
Grease bearings on top of Vertical Beater one pump every
8 hours, both sides by grease lines.
L2
-
Maintain oil level in apron drive reducer at sight glass,
accessible at right, rear side. It holds 6 Qts. When
required, refill with SAE 85-140 Moly Fortified gear lube or
Synthetic SAE 75-90 gear lube.
L3
-
Grease drive shaft bearings under spreader box, one pump
every 8 hours, 4 locations. 3 bearings under the box accessed by grease lines on RH side of spreader, 1 bearing
in front of spreader under the PTO guard.
L4
-
Grease the apron drive shafts, both sides of the spreader by the grease lines, 5 pumps every 8 hours.
L5
-
Grease the axle at both sides of the spreader by the grease lines, 10 pumps every 8 hours. (Tandem Axle Only)
L6
-
Maintain oil level in vertical beater gearbox to site gauge level. It holds 7.4 Qts. When required, refill with SAE
85-140 Moly Fortified gear lube or Synthetic SAE 75-90 gear lube.
L7
-
Remove the wheels and hubs annually. Clean out old grease and repack bearing cones with quality EP grease.
Put a ¼” film of grease on the bear
ing cups and reassemble. If your hubs have grease zerks, do not lube them.
Grease builds up in the hub and eventually will damage the seal when expansion from heat occurs.
L8
-
Grease cross bearings on yokes (both ends of PTO shaft) 1 pump every 8 hours. Grease telescoping shaft
through slot in center of guard, 4-5 pumps every 8 hours.
L9
-
Special attention should be paid to lubricating the CV PTO drive shaft assembly. See Instructions on page 20.
L10
- Grease the over-running clutch, located on rear PTO driveshaft assembly. 3-4 pumps every 8 hours.
NOTICE!
SPREADER MUST BE SITTING LEVEL
FOR AN ACCURATE OIL CHECK.
TO CHECK OIL LEVELS, PARK
SPREADER ON LEVEL GROUND, AND
USE JACK TO RAISE / LOWER THE
SPREADER BODY UNTIL IT IS
COMPLETELY LEVEL.
