Drive Belt and Conveyor Chain
Check engine to electric clutch belt tension. Correct
tension allows 1/4" - 5/16" deflection midway between
the pulleys.
To increase belt tension: Loosen the four (4) bolts that
secure the engine mount to the engine base and pull
the engine away from the clutch. After correct tension
is achieved, retighten the engine mount bolts.
Check the conveyor chain tension. To check the
tension, measure in 20"-24" from the end of the sills.
Push up on the chain with your hand. The conveyor
chain should lift 1"-3" off the conveyor chain guide or
cross angles.
To increase chain tension: Use the two 5/8" x 6" take-
up bolts at the front of the spreader to adjust conveyor
chain tension. Loosen the locknuts before attempting
to adjust the take-up bolts. Turn both bolts equal
amounts to ensure the tension is equally distributed
across both sides of the conveyor chain.
Verify correct engine oil level. (See engine
manufacturers Owner’s Manual.)
Verify the gear case oil level is level with the
fill hole.
Verify correct engine-to-clutch pulley
alignment and belt tension.
Verify correct gear case output shaft to
spinner shaft alignment.
Verify correct conveyor chain tension.
Verify dielectric grease is applied to all
electrical connections.
Verify wire harnesses are properly secured
away from hot or moving parts.
Verify vehicle harness has sufficient ground
clearance when the spreader is removed from
the truck.
Verify proper choke setting and choke light
operation. See Choke Adjustment Procedure.
