Conveyor Chain
WARNING
Stay out of the spreader. If it’s necessary to enter the spreader, return to the shop, empty
body, turn off all power, set vehicle brakes, lock engine starting switch and remove keys
before entering. Tag all controls to prohibit operation. Tags should be placed, and later
removed, only by person working in the body.
Hose down unit and remove any material build-up on sprockets and under chain.
NOTICE!
The conveyor will move away from the bottom panel if material accumulates under the conveyor or
on the sprockets. The more material that accumulates, the closer the chain will come to the chain
shields. If the conveyor should catch a chain shield, it could permanently damage the conveyor, the
chain shields or the unit. Do not remove material while conveyor or spinner is running!
Lubrication
Make sure unit is clean and completely dry.
Lubricate conveyor chain via display at an interval
of 10 hours of spreading, or at the end of each
day of usage.
Tension
Proper chain tension is a factor in chain and sprocket
life. Measuring from rear of unit, conveyor should
touch at 36” - 40” (91 - 102cm) mark, and top of
chain should appear between MIN and MAX lines
in sight window (Figure 1). If manual adjustments
need to be made, on valve block, loosen jam nut,
turn counterclockwise to lower tension, or turn
clockwise to increase tension (Figure 2). All tension
adjustments must be made when machine is
unloaded and conveyor running 15-20 RPM.
