Lubrication & Maintenance
Lubrication
Make sure unit is clean and completely dry�
Lubricate conveyor chain at the end of each
day of usage using a mixture of 75% diesel fuel
and 25% SAE 10 oil� Shut down spinner and run
conveyor at 20 RPM for two full revolutions to
lubricate chain� After each unit washing, allow
to dry, then lubricate�
Spray Nozzle
Guards Removed for Clarity
Figure 1 - Spray Nozzle
Lubricate chain through two full revolutions� After each unit washing, allow to dry, then lubricate�
Before filling the unit with spreading material, activate the controller or power switch to run the pump oiler.
Bleed all air from the lines and adjust the two spray nozzles so that the oil mixture sprays vertical onto the
sprockets and chain�
Tension
Proper chain tension is also a factor in chain and sprocket life� This adjustment is made by turning the idler
screws on each side of the unit at the front idler bearings� See Figure 2�
Loosen the idler jam nut (A) and turn the idler adjustment screw (B) to adjust tension� Turn clockwise to
increase tension and, turn counterclockwise to decrease tension� Adjust idlers equally on each side�
Measure from rear of sill to point where conveyor chain contacts bottom flange of sill. Verify that
measurements on both sides of conveyor are equal and within specified range. See Figure 3.

NOTICE!
Over-tensioning of conveyor chain will lead to excessive load on the system, causing excessive chain
and sprocket wear and can cause extremely high starting pressures� Under-tensioning allows conveyor
chain to “wrap” around drive sprockets and not exit sprocket freely, causing excessive excessive chain
stretch and surging of the conveyor which will result in interrupted flow of material to the spinners.
