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 6.) Use shim washers (Ref. no.
21 on pages 14 and 15) as needed for minimum
backlash.
Add grease to gear and sprocket.
If the agitator wire becomes damaged or worn it can
be replaced. Loosen the 3/8" hex nut on top of
sprocket shaft until agitator wire is free. Remove old
agitator wire from hole in agitator sleeve and replace
with new agitator wire. Position agitator wire so that
sprocket shaft turns freely, then tighten 3/8" hex nut
on top of sprocket shaft. See figure 16.
