bottom of the gearbox that a flathead screwdriver will fit if you ever need to add grease. When adding grease to gearbox remove plug and pump full of grease.
REPLACEMENT OF SPREADER VANES
In case the spreader vanes brake or get damaged, it is necessary to replace them with new ones. Unscrew the nut and replace the damaged vane. The nuts and bolts must be of the same type of those prescribed from the manufacturer.
STORAGE
Don’t wait until you are ready to use the spreader to do the repairs and maintenance. It is best to repair and replace the damaged and broken parts before storing
after last use. So it will be ready for next use.
Store the spreader in a sheltered place away from atmospheric agents and protect it in order to avoid deteriorations. The fertilizers are generally corrosive. For this reason it is important that no particles of fertilizer remains on any part of the spreader for long peri- ods of time.
Before storing for long periods,
-thoroughly wash the spreader and especially inside the hopper and spreading disc;
-look over the spreader thoroughly and check for structural damages, looking for deep abrasions in the paint;
-verify that the safety signs are on the spreader and readable, In case they are torn and unreadable, replace with new ones.
-grease all mechanical parts.
-store spreader in a sheltered, dry place if possible.
