frequently under severe operating conditions).
2. Clean spark plug and check the spark plug gap.
3. Clean air cleaner element.
4. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.

The idler pulley should be adjusted so that a 5 lb.
pull on the belt between the engine pulley and the
pump pulley deflects the belt about 3/16”.

: It may be necessary to remove the skid plate
and skid plate hardware to properly adjust the
idler pulley. If the skid plate is removed, save
the hardware and skid plate for replacement
after the adjustment is complete.
A. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Never allow untrained personnel to service machine.
2. If the machine must be tipped on its side for
maintenance, do not tip more than 45 degrees.
This will prevent hydraulic oil from draining out of
the Transmission Hydraulic Tank Breather Cap.
Before tipping machine, drain the fuel from the fuel
tank, and the oil from the engine’s crankcase.
3. Be careful not to spill oil on any of the belts.
4. Ensure unit is properly supported by jack stands.
5. Do not tamper with the engine’s governor settings.
They are adjusted to provide the proper maximum
engine speed.
6. If the machine is to be in storage for more than 30
days, drain the fuel tank, run the engine to drain the
carburetor dry, change the oil, remove the spark
plug and pour a teaspoonful of oil into the cylinder.
Pull the starter rope briefly to crank the engine and
distribute the oil, then replace the spark plug.
7. Keep all parts in good working condition & all hardware
tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals.

AFTER SPREADING
1. Park the machine on level ground outside the storage
facility with the engine shut off.
2. Close the fuel shutoff valve.
3. Permit the machine to cool.
4. Disconnect the spark plug wire.

materials from under the hopper. Allow the machine to
dry before storing.
