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�
Shut off all power and allow all moving parts to come to rest before performing any
maintenance operation� Failure to comply with this requirement could result in death or
serious injury�
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.
Check hydraulic oil level and filter condition regularly.
Refer to “Lubricant and Hydraulic Oil Specifications” for selection of the proper hydraulic fluid for use in
the hydraulic system�
DO NOT check leaks with hands while system is operating as high pressure oil leaks can be
dangerous! If skin is pierced with hydraulic fluid at high pressure seek immediate medical
attention as fluid injected into the skin could cause gangrene if left untreated. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or working system. Make sure all hydraulic fluid
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� Failure to comply with this requirement could result in death or serious
injury�
DO NOT check for leaks adjacent to moving parts while system is operating as there may
be danger of entanglement! Failure to comply with this requirement could result in death or
serious injury�
Periodically inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks. Repair and replace components as necessary.
Check hydraulic oil daily by means of sight gauge on hydraulic reservoir� Add oil as necessary to maintain
level around
mid-point of sight gauge. Periodically inspect hoses and fittings for leaks.
Change hydraulic oil filter after first week (or not more than 50 hours) of operation on a unit.
Controller will warn when filter is restricted. Change filter when warning sounds.
Drain hydraulic reservoir through drain plug (not through suction outlet), flush, and refill, and change filter
element annually. Oil and filter should also be changed whenever oil shows any signs of breaking down
under continued high-pressure operation� Discoloration of oil is one sign of breakdown�
