Lubrication
Auger Gearbox
The gearbox was filled with lubricant to the proper
level at the factory. Unless there is evidence of
leakage or service has been performed on the
gearbox, no additional lubricant should be
required. If lubricant is required, use GL-5 or GL-
6, SAE85-95, EP gear oil lubricant. Do not use
synthetic oil.
General Lubrication
Lightly lubricate all moving parts of the machine at
the end of the season or every 25 operating hours.
Do not allow grease or oil get on friction
disc, friction plate or belts. Do not
excessively oil the machine; extra oil may
enter the traction drive and cause the
traction drive belt to slip.
When lubricating auger shaft, remove
shear pins to apply oil inside the shaft and
around spacers and flange bearings found
at either end of the shaft.
Remove the wheels to apply grease the
wheel shaft.
