CHAPTER 11 STORAGE Because a Manure Spreader is generally a year-round implement, it should be in ready-to-operate condition at all times. Several provisions have been designed into the Manure Spreader to enable it to be used in cold, moderate and warm temperatures. The most important factor for continuous proper operation is lubrication. Routine lubrication should be repeated more frequently in both temperature extremes.
If after being used the Spreader is not to be used for some time, perform the following steps to ensure long life and trouble free start-up for the next usage:
NOTE:
When operating the Spreader in freezing temperatures, the unit should be stored inside, if possible. Refer to Operation chapter for special operating procedures in freezing temperatures.
