Checking the Auger Gearbox
Grease
Service Interval: Yearly
The auger gearbox is packed with 5 oz. (140 g) of
Lubriplate MAG-1 (a low-temperature, high-pressure
grease) and is sealed at the factory. The pipe plug
(Figure 31) is for factory use only; you do not need to
check or add grease. If the gearbox is leaking grease,
contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
