1. If the axle, slotted gear and sprocket assembly is

disassembled, mark down the positions of the parts as
they are removed. The drive 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 5 on page 3.)
Use shim washers (Ref. no. 21 on pages 6 and 7) as
needed for minimum backlash. Add grease to gear and
sprocket.

2. If the agitator hairpin becomes damaged or worn it can

be replaced. See figure 10.
