abi Classic Spreader 25 Owner's Manual page 19

● Every 30-50 loads you may want to clean off the pawls on the sprockets located on the
right side of the spreader. Grease from the hub may gather on the pawls and will need to
be cleaned to prevent damage to the pawls.
● Clean chains after every use and oil chains after every 25-30 loads or before periods of
storage to prevent any rust. To oil the chains, use SAE 30 or higher rated oil. It is not
recommended to pour oil directly in the bed when oiling the apron chain. Instead, use a
cloth with oil on it to apply oil to the apron and drive chains.
● Make sure to check all nuts and bolts to ensure they are tight after every 25-30 loads. If
any nuts and bolts are found to be loose, properly tighten them before the next use.
● The wheels on your spreader need to be torqued down to 100 ft. pounds and should be
re-tightened after first use and then check semi-annually.
