MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Before performing any maintenance procedures on the
Rosco CSV Variable Width Chip Spreader, read the review
Safety in Section 1. See Pages 5-6 to 5-8 for lubrication
information and procedures.
Tool Hazard! ALWAYS use tools
appropriate for the task. Be sure to use the correct
sized tool for loosening or tightening parts.
Follow all maintenance schedules and procedures
to maintain the machine in top operating order. The
maintenance schedule begins with 10-hour, or daily,
maintenance intervals and continues through the 1000-
hour, or annual, maintenance schedule intervals.
NOTE: When performing any routine maintenance,
always include previous routine
maintenance procedures to the higher
hourly schedule.
Preventive maintenance on the spreader will provide
years of trouble-free operation. Adjustments can be
performed in the eld with ordinary tools.
Engine preventive maintenance, (other than oil, air
and fuel lter changes), can be found in the Engine
Operator’s Manual.
Anytime the spreader has been repainted or the decals
removed, damaged or illegible, replace immediately for
safe operation.
Changing oil and cleaning the
spreader should only be done in a designated area
where the oil and chemicals can be contained.
These by-products should be discarded in
accordance with environmental regulations.
Do not operate a machine that is
in need of repair. Put an information tag on the
instrument panel that says “DO NOT OPERATE”
and remove key from the ignition switch. Repair all
damage promptly as even minor damage can result
in major system failures.
NOTE: If the machine is operated more than 10
hours per day, follow the “Hour” schedules.
If the machine is operated less than 10 hours
per day, follow the “Periodic” schedules.
