Lubrication - Simplicity 105308E Operator's Manual

LUBRICATION

IMPORTANT NOTE
It is very important that grease fittings on the
auger shaft are lubricated regularly. If auger
rusts to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur
if shear pins do not break.
To prevent wheels rusting to axles, it is also
necessary to remove the wheels and grease the
axles regularly.
Remove wheels and grease axles once each year.
Apply 5W-30 synthetic motor oil to the friction disk drive
hex shaft (A, Figure 10).
Apply medium weight (10W) oil to points shown (See
Figures 9-12).
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where
contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off
belts, pulley grooves, drive disc, and friction disc.
LUBRICATION NOTES:
Grease locations indicated by grease gun symbol.
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble
parts to apply grease to moving parts when grease
fittings are not installed.
Oil locations indicated by oil can symbol. Do not
allow oil to drip onto traction drive or friction disc.
Do not lubricate remote deflector control.
