abi Classic Spreader 25 Owner's Manual page 8

The floor of the ABI Classic Spreader is constructed of a tongue and groove poly lumber, so it
will never rot or rust. The tongue and groove construction prohibits the individual poly boards
that make up the floor from warping, which would cause the apron chain to get caught and bind
on the flooring. This is a premium maintenance free flooring that will last and comes with a
limited lifetime warranty.
"5 Point" Corrosion and Rust Resistance
Corrosion and rust resistance is one of the top concerns customers have in buying manure
spreaders. ABI does not take this concern lightly. To ensure our spreaders will last for many
years to come, we have implemented a suite of measures to prevent against corrosion and rust.
1. We start with corrosion resistant COR-TEN Steel.
2. All steel components are sandblasted before painting. This cleans the impurities off the
steel and opens the pores to absorb the paint for the best bond.
3. Rust-Oleum "Stops-Rust" paint is applied. This paint is easy to repair and touch up.
Unlike powder coating, moisture cannot get behind the paint to rust from the underside.
4. Coal tar epoxy box liner is applied inside the box.
5. Tongue and groove (plastic lumber) floor will not rust, corrode, or rot. This floor has a
limited lifetime warranty.
