If the axle, slotted gear and sprocket assembly
is
disassembled,
mark down the positions of the parts as
they are removed. The d rive wheel and sprocket positions
in relation to the slotted gear determine which direction
the spreader plate will spin. Be sure to reassemble them
in their original positions. (Refer to figure 4 on page 6.)
Use shim washers (Ref. no. 21 on pages 14 and 15) as
needed for minimum backlash. Add grease to gear and
sprocket.
If the agitator hairpin becomes damaged or worn it can
be replaced. See figure 16.
