STORAGE
1.Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and dry 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. 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 origi- nal positions. (Refer to figure 2 on page 4.) Use shim washers (Ref. no. 20 on pages 12 and 13) as needed for minimum backlash. Add grease to gear and sprocket.
2.If the agitator wire becomes damaged or worn it can be replaced. Loosen the 3/8" hex nut on top of the sprocket shaft until agitator wire is free. Remove old agitator wire from hole in agitator sleeve and replace with new agitator wire. Posi- tion agitator wire so that sprocket shaft turns freely, then tighten 3/8" hex nut on top of sprocket shaft. See figure 18.
