LUBRICATION GUIDE MODEL 80
(FOR MODEL 125 SEE PAGE 17)
The operator should become familiar with all lubri-
cation points and establish a systematic routine to
insure complete and quick lubrication of the
machine.
DRIVE CHAINS–Lubricate the drive chains with a
light machine oil. Keep chains aligned with
sprockets. This will lengthen the life of the sprock-
ets and chain. Lubricate chains often.
GEARBOX–Before using your new machine,
check the oil level in the gearbox located at the
left rear of the spreader. Keep the gearbox filled to
the center of the top shaft of the gearbox with
80-90 gear lube.

There are 7 grease fittings on this spreader. If these are lubricated properly and often enough it will prolong
the life of the spreader (Grease every 20 hours, also before storage and after power washing). Make cer-
tain that the grease fittings are free of paint and dirt, force a high quality grease into them until the grease
comes out around the shaft on the sleeve type bearings. On the sealed ball bearings, grease should be
added slowly until a slight bead forms at the seals, indicating the correct amount of lubricant. Wipe off
excess grease to prevent the accumulation of chaff and grit around the bearings.
