INSTALLATION, OPERATING INSTRUCTION AND PARTS MANUAL
MDV SERIES
1. Grease idler bearings on idler shaft take-up
assembly, outboard bearing on gearbox output
shaft, and spinner bearings every ten hours of
operation.
2. Grease input shaft bearing on gearbox every fifty
hours of operation. Over greasing may
cause seal damage. The gearbox must be filled
to oil level plug with SAE 90 gear type lubricant.
Keep breather plug clean.
3. Drag chain slack on V-boxes should be checked
periodically and taken up if distance between
center line of front sprocket and point where chain
contacts lower flange on longitudinal is less than
eight (8) inches. Over tightening
conveyor chain can cause serious drive train
problems. Above distance must not exceed
twenty (20) inches.
4. If the spreader is equipped with a gasoline engine,
it should be maintained per engine manufacturer's
instruction. (Instructions and parts book is
enclosed.
5. V-belt/Chain tension must be maintained. The
V-belt/Chain can be adjusted by loosening motor
hold-down bolts and sliding motor as required.
To adjust chain tension on spinner shaft, loosen
the 8 bearing bolts on the rear vertical plates and
slide spinner shafts as required. Make sure the
spinner shaft is straight up and down before re
tightening.
Overtightening may damage gearbox.
6. Oil drive chains before each use.
7. Spreader should be emptyed and cleaned after
each use. Material could freeze causing the unit
to not function correctly.
8. If chain becomes stuck or "frozen" to the floor to
the point where the drive system cannot pull the
load, never attempt to free chain using a pipe
wrench or any other tool on the output shaft. The
gearbox is designed to accept torque from input
shaft only. Trying to turn output shaft will strip the
gears, thus voiding the warranty.
9. To minimize problems and extend the life of the
drive system, the following is highly recommended
.
a. Before loading spreader, make sure the drag
chain is free (not stuck or "frozen" to the
floor). If the drag chain is stuck, this can
cause the drive system to burn up.
1. Grease all bearings, oil drag chain and roller
chains.
2. Raise spinner and remove spreader from truck.
