Maintenance
Maintenance of your spreader is very important and must be done carefully. Good maintenance reduces
operating costs and increases the equipment lifespan.
Maintenance service
In this part of the manual we examine the most frequent maintenance operations:
After use
. wash the machine with water
. dry all the metal parts carefully
. grease all the moving parts of the machine
. check and tighten all bolts
Periodic maintenance
. change the oil and grease in the gear box after the first 30 hours of operation
. thereafter repeat this operation every 250 hours of operation by
unscrewing the gear box drain cap and wait for the oil to drain out
completely
. turn the machine so that the cap opening is in an ideal position and fill
the gear box with about 0.25 kg of new oil
. check the metal parts which are under great strain during working conditions and if
necessary replace them
Maintenance before the unit is to be taken out of service
. wash the machine with water and sodium carbonate, taking care to dry the machine
thoroughly
