LUBRICATION

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)

WEEKLY LUBRICATION (every 25-30 loads)

L1 Grease (2) rear spinner lower bearings. These bearings are grease line fitted to the LR frame channel of the spreader.

L6 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.

L2 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.

L3 Grease PTO Drive line (9) places with Lithium grease every 8 hours.

IMPORTANT: GREASE 2 FITTINGS DAILY

L4 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.

L7 Grease (5) bearings on the RH side line shaft. The 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.

L8 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.

L10 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.

L11 Grease (1) integral overrunning clutch at rear of the PTO drive line. The zerk is on the yoke of the cut out clutch. Use Shell Super Duty or an equivalent lithium grease.

L5 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
