NOTE: With the rotary agitator installed, the rate gate closed (not
spreading) and with material in the hopper, the spreader will push
harder than normal. (This is because the agitator is stirring the mater-
ial and it has no place to go.)
RECOMMENDATION: When not spreading and the spreader is being
pushed some distance, tip the spreader so only the idle wheel is on
the ground.
Cleaning the Spreader is Part of the Spreading Job.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE - CLEAN AND OIL THE SPREADER
• Method #1 - Wipe spreader thoroughly with an oily cloth. Oil all
bearings and bearing areas.
• Method #2 - Wash, rinse, and dry the spreader. Note: Drying
takes time. (Moisture trapped in bearing areas is slow to go.)
Immediately after drying - oil all bearings and moving parts. Make
certain all operations are thorough.
Note: Good "Dry Cleaning" is preferable to poor "Wet Cleaning".
• It is virtually impossible to have rust and corrosion on a clean, dry,
oiled surface.
• Again - just before using - oil all bearings and moving parts.
• In storage, ideally the spreader should be hung by the handle. In
any case, do not pile weight on the spreader, as excess weight over
a period of time can distort the tires.
