Tortella spader

Wondering if anyone out there has a user manual for a Tortella spader. I am wondering about the service cycle (spade bearings) and any tricks or tips on keeping them going.

The bearings will have along service life as long as it is greased and making sure the end bearings have no build ups of dirt to hold heat in.

please find a Tortella link for your use

Thanks Leonz, I purchased a spader in really decent condition, but I don't think it has been serviced since new. I was hoping to find a user or service manual for it. All of the bearings are tight and smooth, but I would like to service it before use. Thought I would request the original user manual (or service manual). I am aware of Brewt Power Systems, but have not contacted them as of yet. If no one comes up with an original manual I will do that. Again, thanks for the post!
