LUBRICATION
ALWAYS STOP THE MANURE SPREADER AND DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING,
REPAIRING, OR CLEANING. USE SAFE SHOP PROCEDURE AND EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN
WORKING ON THIS MACHINE!
It is extremely important to properly lubricate your new RODA machine before it is used for the first time. If
the mechanical drive components of your unit are not protected from shock and frictional abrasion, the wear
rate of these components will be vastly accelerated and their life span will be drastically reduced. For proper
care and maintenance, your machine should be serviced with engine oil, multipurpose grease, and fluids
specified below.
It is extremely important that the lubrication guide be followed. For lubricating bearings, use good quality
multipurpose grease. Pump the grease in slowly. Roller chains should be lubricated with engine oil, or a spray-
on chain lubricant and then the spreader operated under a no-load condition. This will allow the roller chains to
be thoroughly lubricated and thus minimize heat-up during operation.
