CAUTION
Do not over-tension the conveyor chain. This can
cause damage to the chain, bearings, and gearbox.
• Empty the spreader of all ice control material
when not in use to prevent a frozen feed chain &
damage due to corrosion.
• Wash out the spreader when it is not in use. At
the end of the season wash out the spreader to
remove all ice control materials. Thoroughly dry
all metal surfaces. Re-paint and oil all previously
painted surfaces and chains to protect from rust.
Properly store the spreader for the next season.
Spreader Maintenance - Hydraulic System
1. Warm up hydraulic system before using.
2. Keep the reservoir 3/4 full with high grade non-
foaming hydraulic oil.
3. Use precautions to keep contaminants from
getting in reservoir when filling.
4. Quick connects are a prime source of
contamination.
• Clean quick connects before connecting or dis-
connecting them.
• Protect quick connects from contaminates at
all times.
5. Lubricate all bearings and jack with suitable
type grease on a regular basis. More frequent
lubrication is recommended during periods of
heavy use.
6. Maintain the proper lubrication level in all gear-
boxes with appropriate gear lubricant.
7. When not in use, keep the spreader empty
to prevent freezing of material in the hopper in
extremely cold weather.
8. To extend the life of your spreader:
• Hose down and clean after each use.
• Repaint and/or oil, where necessary, after each
season.
