SHORT DESCRIPTION
The RINK Topdresser SP950 is manufactured exclusively for the application of fine
grained, loose dressing material such as sand, grit, granulate or similar materials. The
dressing device of the Topdresser is driven by V-belts and chains. The dressing rate is
controlled by a mechanical slide. Thus, the dressing material can be applied accurately.
Dressing density or dressing rate can be determined by the driving speed and slide
opening.

FIRST STARTUP
Starting the engine
a) Fill the gas tank with lead-free gas.
b) Put the throttle in FAST-position.
c) Put the engine switch to ON-position and the starter lever to the left.
d) Start the engine, repeat if necessary and close the choke slightly.
e) As soon as the engine runs, push the starter lever back and adjust the
desired engine speed with the throttle.
Note: Please read also engine manufacturer's manual, which is included in this
manual. It is important that the operator be familiar with the rules contained in
this manual.
After the first loaded ride
-Tighten wheel nuts.
-Wheel-hub play, check and have adjusted if necessary.
-Check tire-pressure.
-Check tension of V-belts and chains.

8
OPERATION
Before each ride
-Check dresser for obvious damages, repair damages.
-Check tire-pressure.
-Check the track of the conveyor belt and adjust if necessary. The conveyor belt
should not rub on either side.
Loading
-Observe the desired maximal ground pressure.
-When loading, pay attention that the driving components (engine) are not overly
dirty or soiled.
Dressing
-Controls
1 Throttle
2 Brake handle (holding brake)
3 Reverse gear
4 Lever to switch on conveyor belt and brush
5 Forward gear

Setting of dressing density
The dressing density (mm) depends on
-Driving speed
-Engine rotation speed
-Slide opening (1)
Please set the desired dressing density on firm ground before starting work.

10
CARE and MAINTENANCE
Greasing of the dresser with multi-purpose grease
(every 50 operating hours)
1 Bearings on both sides of the brush roller
2 Bearings on both sides of the rear drive roll
3 Bearings on both sides of the front tension roll
4 Bearing on the steering axle
5 Bearing on the drive shafts
6 Bearing at the belt tightener
For bearings 5, 6 tilt or raise the machine with the help of the ring nuts.

11
CARE and MAINTENANCE
Setting of the brush roller distance (if necessary)
-Loosen two screws (1) on both sides of the brush roller.
-Slide the brush roller down until the brush roller touches the conveyor belt
slightly.
-Tighten the screws (1).
Conveyor belt tightening (when slipping)
-Loosen the counter nut (2).
-Tighten the nut (3) evenly on both sides in a clockwise half turn and check to
see if the conveyor belt is running. Repeat if necessary.
-Tighten the counter nut (2).
Excessive tightening shortens the life of the conveyor belt.

12
Removal of the dresser from the chassis
For demounting and mounting of the conveyor belt and for possible maintenance work on the
chassis, it is necessary to remove the dresser from the chassis.
-Remove the protective cover (1) by loosening the screws (2).
-Remove the chain (3) by pushing the chain tightener (5) through the tension
spring (4) upwards in the direction of the arrow.
-Loosen the dresser (6) by removing the screws (7) on both sides.
-Affix the whole dresser (6) on the ring nuts (8) and lift it. Place the dresser on a
wooden pallet or another secure surface.

13
Replacing the brush roller
The brush roller (6) consists of 10 individual segments, which are interlinked. Both outer
segments are secured on the shaft, each with three grub screws (5). To replace the brush roller
proceed as follows:
- Loosen the grub screws (1) of the brush bearing on the right side.
- Loosen and remove the screws (2, 3) of the right brush bearing holder (4).
- Remove the right brush bearing holder (4).
- Remove the grub screws (5) on both sides of the brush roller (6).
- Detach all the brush segments to the right. Please pay attention to the
correct order and arrangement of the brush segments.
- Slide the new brush segments back onto the brush shaft. Pay attention to
the first and last segment.
- Mount the brush bearing block (4) using the screws (2, 3).
- Tighten the grub screws (1) of the brush bearing.
- Center the brush in the middle and tighten it if necessary with a bar clamp
so that the gearing interlocks fully.
- Remove the grub screws (5) from both outer segments of the new brush
roller.
- Drill into the brush shaft with a 5 mm drill approximately 4 mm deep.
- Attention: You cannot use the holes of the old brush roller.
- Tighten the grub screws (5) on both sides back into the brush roller.

14
Replacing the conveyor belt

15
Replacing the conveyor belt
- Loosen the nuts (1) and release the conveyor belt in the direction of the
arrow.
- Loosen the grub screws of the bearings (2) towards the driving direction on
the right.
- Remove the brush roller (4) by loosening the screws (3).
- Take off the right side panel (6) by removing the screws (5).
- Pull the conveyor belt (7) out to the right.
Mounting is carried out in reverse order.
Conveyor belt tightening after mounting
- Tighten the conveyor belt on both sides and evenly with the nuts (1), until
the axle center-to-center distance of the front shaft to the rear shaft is 491
mm.
- Allow the conveyor belt to run for approximately 30 minutes until it is
centered.
- When operating the machine after a conveyor belt replacement, a slippage
of the conveyor belt can occur. If necessary, tighten the band again. Pay
attention to uniform tightening on both sides (see conveyor belt tightening,
page 10).
The conveyor belt must not touch the sides. When readjusting the conveyor
belt, tighten on the side on which the band touches.
Excessive tightening shortens the life of the conveyor belt.
Chain tightening

16
1. Chain for traction drive (5)
- Remove the protective cover (1) by loosening the screws (2).
- Loosen the screws (6) and tighten the axle shaft to the rear. Pay attention
to uniform tightening on the left, middle and right bearing. Tighten the
screws (6).
- Attach the protective cover (1) with the screws (2).
2. Chain for conveyor belt and brush drive (3)
- The chain is automatically tightened with the tension spring (4). Please
check the pull of the spring regularly and replace it if necessary.
3. Chain spraying (every 30 operating hours)
- Spray the chain of the conveyor belt and the brush drive (3) and the chain
of the traction drive (5) with silicon or teflon spray.
V-belt tightening
- Remove the protective cover (1) by loosening the screws (2).
- Loosen the 4 fastening screws (3) of the engine and the counter nut (4).
- Tighten the V-belt by moving the engine with the adjustment screw (5).
- Tighten the 4 fastening screws (3) and the counter nut (4).
- Attach the protective cover (1) with the screws (2).

17
Attention: Excessive tightening causes a permanent idling of the conveyor
belt, the brush and the traction drive. Should this be the case, please free up
tightening.
