MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (continued)
ANNUALLY:
Lubricate the drive chain (all models except the SPK-1400). Disconnect the power supply and remove the
drive system cover from the smoker. Using a clean brush and quality SAE 20 oil, lubricate the chain.
NOTE: Model SPK-500 shown. Models SPK-500, SP-700, MLR-850 and SPK-1000 have a chain
tensioner. The chain tensioner is a spring-loaded tensioner that should not need to be adjusted.
Models MLR-150 and SPX-300 have a turnbuckle adjuster.
SEMI - ANNUALLY:
Have an experienced service technician inspect and clean the burner electrode. Southern Pride recommends
replacing the burner electrode every 12-18 months, depending on usage.
