DRIVE CHAINS
The drive chains are lubricated by an automatic chain oiler. Any time that the discharge door is raised,
a specified amount of oil is sent to the brushes on each of the chains. The oiler is adjustable to set the
amount that is being discharged. This will extend the life of the drive chains. Keeping the chains aligned
with sprockets will also lengthen the life of the sprockets and drive chains.

LUBRICATION
Oiler brushes on
all chains.
The oiler reservoir is
located on the left front
side by the scraper
holder and jack storage
position.
The discharge gate control
cylinder shaft and both front and
rear main auger cylinders
should also be frequently coated
with a rust preventative spray
or lubricant since the cylinder
shaft may remain extended
when not being used for a period
of time.
