LUBRICATION GUIDE
Frequently lubricate all bearings and other grease points to extend the life of the components.
When lubricating, it is important to also inspect the components to ensure satisfactory operation.
The required interval of relubricating will depend on the operating environment. Conditions
such as dust, moisture, speed, and temperature will affect how often to relubricate.

CLEANUP
For maintaining minimum maintenance operation, this equipment should be thoroughly washed
every two to three days during the operating season. Hose the unit down under pressure to free
all sticky and frozen material.
It is important that the machine be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each operating season. All
lubrication and maintenance instructions should be closely followed. For longer life of the
painted parts, repaint worn spots to prevent the formation of rust.
CAUTION!
High-pressure wash can inject water and/or fertilizer into the sensitive
components. Use caution when cleaning these areas.
FASTENERS
Tighten all screw fasteners to recommended torque values after the first week of operation and
annually thereafter. If loose fasteners are found at any time, tighten to the recommended torque
value. Replace any lost or damaged fasteners or other parts immediately upon finding such
damage or loss.
