1.Before each use make a thorough visual check of the spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.

CHECK FOR WORN OF DAMAGED PARTS

2.Check for worn or damaged parts before each use. Repair or replace parts if necessary.

CHECK TIRE INFLATION

3.Check if tires are adequately inflated before each use. Do not inflate beyond maximum recommended pressure.

CAUTION: DO NOT inflate tires beyond the maximum recommended pressure printed on side of tire.

CLEANING

4.Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and dry off before storing.

LUBRICATE (See figure 17.)

5.Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the sprocket and gear.
