conveyor gearcase.

Summer (above 40F): SAE #140

Winter (below 40F): SAE #90

d. Conveyor chain: Lubricate the conveyor chain frequently. When

using chemicals, lubricate the chain daily to ensure clean, smooth running.

e. For other lubrication and schedules consult the spreader manual.

Table 1. Spreader application rate chart.

This is an estimated rate chart based on an engine speed of 34003600 rpm and a 1-

inch gate setting.

Vehicle Speed

Salt (lb per mile)

Calculations based on 100 pounds/foot3 sand and 65 pounds/ft3 salt.

Note: Speed and gate opening dramatically affect amount being spread. As a general

rule of thumb, spread sand at a rate of 625 lb/ln-mi and salt at a rate of 406 lb/ln-mi. To

do this, set gate opening at 1/2 inch and maintain 10 mph.
