WARNING: DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE SHAFT AND HYDRAULIC HOSES (RELIEVE HYDRAULIC
PRESSURE) BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THIS SPREADER. FAILURE TO
HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
DAILY LUBRICATION (every 8-12 loads)
Grease (2) rear spinner lower bearings. These
bearings are grease line fitted to the LR frame channel
of the spreader.
Oil (6) roller chain drives with automatic oiler at the
front of spreader with clean 30-weight oil. The roller
chains are accessible by opening the front steel shield-
ing cover.
Grease PTO Drive line (9) places with Lithium
grease every 8 hours.
Grease (7) bearings supporting the three large
jack shaft reduction sprocket weldments, and the third
auger drive shaft on the front drive. The zerks are acces-
sible by the right front side grease bank and through the
access holes in front plate. Be careful not to over
grease.
Grease (2) auger shaft bearings. These bearings
are grease line fitted to the LF and RF frame channels of
the spreader. Over greasing is not possible. 10-15
pumps minimum.
IMPORTANT: Check regularly for any observable lubri-
cant leakage of the (3) gearboxes at the rear of the
spreader. See L12 & L14 under Monthly Lubrication
WEEKLY LUBRICATION (every 25-30 loads)
Grease (3) PTO input shaft bearings. These bear-
ings are grease line fitted to the RF frame channel and
the front bearing channel of the spreader.

front bearing is zerk accessible through the RF steel
shielding. The remaining rear bearings are located
along the RH side of the spreader tank, zerks accessible
through the steel shielding.
Grease (2) tandem wing pivots. Effectively grease
by jacking up the spreader to relieve pressure points on
the pivot shaft and tandem wing collar. Over greasing is
not possible.
Grease (2) flow control rear gate slide guides.
With the flow control rear gate opened, grease the slide
guides from top side. Allow grease to lubricate flow con-
trol rear gate ends and slide guide surfaces. In freezing
weather dump used motor oil down each slide guide
once a week or more often if needed. Over greasing is
not possible.
Grease (1) integral overrunning clutch at rear of
the PTO drive line. The zerk is on the yoke of the cut out
