MAINTENANCE
Automatic Oiler
Before Start of Season
1
Check the oil reservoir for any moisture or debris which may have accumulated during storage If moisture or debris is
in the reservoir, drain and clean the reservoir as best as possible to remove moisture and debris When adding oil to a
cleaned reservoir, slowly add 1/8 cup of new oil This will allow the oil to enter the pump and air to escape the pump
Adding the oil too fast will result in air being trapped in the pump See "Automatic Oiler Not Working" on Page 51
for steps in removing trapped air
2
Check the oil level in the reservoir (Figure 66) Fill the oil reservoir with SAE 30 motor oil if necessary
3
Start the tractor and engage the PTO Once the PTO is up to speed, press the trigger on the joystick to engage the
augers and to have the automatic oiler pump oil out to the gear box Press the trigger again to disengage the augers
and to have the automatic oiler pump oil out to the gear box again Repeat this a couple of times to ensure the drive
chains inside the gear box have received adequate oil
4
Shut off the tractor and check the automatic oiler and oil lines for any leaks
DANGER
5
Remove the covers on the auger drive system to see that the drive chains have received fresh oil and that the oil
brushes are touching the drive chains If the brushes are not touching the drive chains, they need to be replaced
Daily Maintenance Checks
1
Check the reservoir for any moisture or debris and remove as best as possible
2
Check the oil level in the reservoir (Figure 64) The reservoir must not go empty otherwise damage to the oiler or the
gear box may occur Fill the reservoir if necessary using SAE 30 motor oil
3
Check the automatic oiler and oil lines for any leaks, cracks, or kinks and replace if necessary
End of Season/Preparing for Storage
Fill the reservoir at least half full, but not completely full, with SAE 30 motor oil This will allow for expansion if it occurs
