Regular Maintenance

CHECK / LUBRICATE LINKAGE
Check the function of the Hand controls: the controls
should function as described in the CONTROLS
section. It is critical for the safe operation of the
unit that the controls disengage when released.
Lubricate as shown in figure 18.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them.
If lubrication does not rectify the problem, see your
dealer. Under no circumstances should the unit be
used if the controls are not functioning properly.
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.
LUBRICATING THE AUGER SHAFT
