5. Install braces
Turn spreader upright. Attach angle brace to hopper
ends using 1/4 x 1/2" hex bolts, securing center of
brace to top of handle with 1/4 x 1-1/4" hex bolt,
wrought washer and flange nut. NOTE: Brace has cen­
ter of "U" indentation upwards. Place yellow grips on
handle, crank handle and tip of parking stand.
Place hook of spread plate chain in hole of bracket on
handle. Adjust to desired level depending on rate of
application and product weight to produce "sheet-like"
flow. If application without spread plate is desired,
swing spread plate to front of hopper and position
hook over lip of hopper.
6. Install lift handle
Attach handle to front of hopper using 1/4 x 5/8" hex
bolts and flange nuts.

Maintenance

Empty when finished; remove bottom and rotors
1. After hopper has been emptied, turn hopper over
and remove wheels.
2. Loosen wing nuts on bearing retainers.
3. Loosen the latches that secure bottom and slide to
hopper. Remove bottom.
4. Remove rotors and end bearings.
5. Wipe all parts clean.
6. Place a few drops of light oil on the end and center
bearings after each use. The bearings are oil im­
pregnated and will replenish themselves to their
absorption capacity. Some materials have a fine
powder in the mixture, so it may be necessary to
oil the bearings more often to prevent the powder
from working into them.
7. Reassemble.
If necessary, remove slide from hopper bottom for
cleaning.
8. If some materials build up on the hopper bottom,
especially when atmospheric humidity is high, disas­
semble the slide assembly by removing the nuts, nylon
washers and slide hanger. Wipe clean.
Reassemble slide onto hopper bottom
9. For proper slide tension when reassembling slide,
gently drive the hanger to the left until the dimple in
the slide hanger and bottom match. Secure slide hang­
er with nylon washers and nuts.
