MAINTIENANCE
General
At the end of the season, oil or paint all
bare surfaces after washing and before
storing the unit.
Grease
Maintain spinner shaft-to-gear case roller
chain tension. Correct chain tension allows
5/16" deflection midway between the
sprockets. See Figure 7.
To increase chain tension: loosen the
bearing mounting hardware and pull the
spinner shaft away from the gear case.
Make sure the spinner shaft is vertical and
the sprockets are lined up before
re-tightening the fasteners. Oil this chain
after each use, and at the end of the season.

season.
.After every 10 hours of operation, grease
the idler bearings on the idler shaft,
flanged bearings on the drive shaft and the
input shaft above the gear case, and the
spinner shaft bearings.

the input shaft bearing on the gear case and
verify the oil level of the gear case is level
with the fill hole.
.Change gear case oil once a year .Drain oil
by removing the side cover of the gear
case. Refill with SAE 90 weight gear oil.
Oil level should be even with the bottom
of the fill hole.
Chains
At the beginning of each season, and once
a month during the season, verify the drive
sprocket set screws are tight.
