Reassembly
The above procedures may be reversed to reassemble the spreader.
Ensure that the friction washer is in place when reassembling the shutter lever assembly to the
frame.
When the delivery chute is installed it must be fixed in the same position as the original.
When the spinner has been installed the clearance between the spinner and the delivery chute
must be set to a maximum of 2.5mm.
Installing a New Agitator Flail
The flail assembly comes complete with retaining clips. Insert the new flail though the hole in the
agitator shaft.
Thread on the retaining clip so that the flail is held securely.
Using a pair of pliers, crush the clip onto the flail.
Ensure that the new flail cannot contact the wall of the hopper. Trim to length if required.
