If the axle, slotted gear and sprocket assembly is
disassembled,
mark down the positions of the parts
as they are removed. The drive wheel and sprocket
positions in relation to the slotted gear determine
which direction the spreader plate will spin. Be sure
to reassemble them in their original positions. (Refer
to figure 4 on page 5.) Use shim washers (Ref. no.
21 on pages 10 and 11 ) as needed for minimum
backlash.
Add grease to gear and sprocket.
If the agitator hairpin becomes damaged
or worn it
can be replaced.
See figure 17.
