7.4. Lubricate the Equipment

Your equipment can operate at top efficiency only if clean fluids and lubricants are used. Use clean containers
to handle all fluids and lubricants. Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture, and other
contaminants.

1. Wipe the grease fittings with a clean cloth before greasing to avoid injecting dirt and grit.

2. Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing.

3. If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly.

4. Replace fittings if they are broken or will not accept grease.

5. If Intake Bushing is present in your auger, lubricate it.

Use SAE multi-purpose high-temperature grease with extreme pressure (EP) performance. SAE multi-purpose
lithium-based grease is also acceptable.
