Lubrication & Maintenance
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PAYS!
The handling and spreading of commercial fertilizers is a most severe operation with respect to metal
corrosion. Establish a frequent, periodic preventative maintenance program to prevent rapid deterioration to
spreading equipment. Proper cleaning, lubrication and maintenance will yield longer life, more satisfactory
service and more economical use of your equipment.
WARNING
Shut off all power and allow all moving parts to come to rest before performing any
maintenance operation.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Proper oil in the hydraulic system is one of the most important factors for satisfactory operation. Utmost
cleanliness in handling the oil cannot be stressed enough. Keep hydraulic oil in original closed containers,
clean top of container before opening and pouring, and handle in extremely clean measures and funnels.
WARNING
DO NOT check leaks with hands while system is operating as high pressure oil leaks can be
dangerous! If skin is pierced with hydraulic
fl
uid at high pressure seek immediate medical
attention as
fl
uid injected into the skin could cause gangrene if left untreated. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or working system. Make sure all hydraulic
fl
uid
connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying
pressure to the system. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems.
WARNING
DO NOT check for leaks adjacent to moving parts while system is operating as there may be
danger of entanglement!
