GENERAL INFORMATION

IMPORTANT: Catch and dispose of fluid per local waste disposal regulations whenever service is

performed on hydraulic components, valves, cylinders, hoses, etc.

The operator should become familiar with all lubrication points and establish a systematic routine

to ensure complete and quick lubrication of the machine.

GREASING

There are numerous grease fittings on the spreader. If these are lubricated properly and often enough, it

will prolong the life of the spreader. (Grease every 20 hours, also before and after power washing.)

Make certain that the grease fittings are free of paint and dirt, force a high-quality grease into them until

the grease comes out around the shaft on the sleeve-type bearings. On the sealed ball bearings, grease

should be added slowly until a slight bead forms at the seals indicating the correct amount of lubricant.

Wipe off excess grease to prevent the accumulation of chaff and grit around the bearings.

Grease Fitting Locations

A. (3) PTO Shaft

B. (2) Front Drive Shaft Bearings

C. (1) Gear Box Output Shaft(On Bearing) H. (4) Each Wheel Hub

D. (4) Each Beater End

E. (2) Endgate Pivot Points

PTO ASSEMBLY

Keep the male and female driving elements well lubricated

and free sliding. Failure to observe this precaution will

result in excessive pressure being required to collapse or

extend the assembly while subject to operating torque.

This excessive force may damage or displace the main

shaft bearings. DO NOT lubricate the shield surfaces. The

shield surfaces must be kept dry, as dirt accumulation on

them will quickly cause these units to bind and not rotate.

Be sure that the rotating integral shields are not dented or

damaged, as this also will result in excessive force being

applied against the jackshaft. Damaged shields also cause

obvious difficulties when installing the assembly. If at any

time the shields do not turn freely, they should be checked

to determine the cause, and repaired or cleaned. To avoid

damage to the main drive bearings, avoid turning sharp

corners while PTO is running. Start and Stop PTO slowly

to avoid damage to the drive line.
