off before storing.
2. Store in a clean, dry area.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

1. If the axle, slotted gear and sprocket assembly is
disassembled, mark down the positions of the parts as
they are removed. T he 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.
