(2) Replacement. Replace the block-off plates if
damage is enough to restrict proper operation. Spreader
must be empty to replace plates.
Section II. OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL
CONDITIONS
2-3. Operation in Salt Water Areas
The deterioration and corrosion of exposed metal is greatly
accelerated in salt water areas. If the spreader has been
operated in or around salt water, clean it thoroughly and
lubricate frequently. See TM 5-3895-330-24 for lubrication
instructions. Paint all exposed surfaces. Coat exposed parts
of polished steel or other ferrous metals with rustproofing,
or cover with a light coat of oil or grease.
2-4. Operation in Extreme Cold
Operating the aggregate spreader in extreme cold
temperature presents special lubrication problems since
lubricants that are too heavy will make the equipment
difficult to operate. This will cause rapid wear on moving
parts.
