APRON DRIVE CHAIN
Maintain proper tension on the apron drive chain. There should be 1/4
inch deflection at the side of the chain when properly adjusted. To
adjust loosen bolt holding tightener. Slide tightener against drive chain
and retighten bolt. Failure to maintain proper tension will result in
excessive wear to chain and sprockets.
SHEAR BOLT
The beater and apron drive are protected by one shear bolt. Two shear
bolts are provided. Shearing of the bolt is normally due to foreign
objectsin the manure, or starting the spreader PTO too quickly with
high tractor RPM’s. Always use H&S shear bolts, part number
16SV289, when replacing shear bolts.

ADJUSTING WHEEL HUBS
To adjust the wheel hubs, tighten the
castellated nut on the spindle to the point
where there is no end-play and a slight
drag on the bearings, and replace the
cotter key with a new one of the correct
size.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE REC-
OMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS WILL
VOID WARRANTY.
BEATER
As the beater paddles are welded to the beater tube, replacement of these paddles should be performed by
authorized service personnel who are competent welders. When replacing paddles, the sharp edge of the
teeth must lead in the direction of beater travel.
When transporting on the highway, regularly clean the reflective tape at the rear of the spreader. There is a
holder provided for your SMV sign.
