Then, with a rowhide mallet or placing a
piece of wood on the bottomend of the
auger, tap this bottom to break loose the
auger and be able then to pull it out as per
step 4 above.
WARNING. The top bearing assembly
works in critical conditions for what con-
cern its lubrication as it is haused in the
ice breaker where the formation of con-
densation is usual. Therefore it is impor-
tant to apply on it an ample coating of
Food grade Waterproof Grease before
installing the breaker and cap hook in
place.
NOTE. Any time the auger is removed for
replacement or inspection use extra care in
handling the water seal parts, so no dirt or
foreign matters are deposited on the surfa-
ces of the seal. If there is any doubt about
the effectiveness of the water seal or O ring
do not hesitate to REPLACE THEM.
NOTE. It is good practice to replace the
water seal assy and both the top and the
bottom bearings any time the auger is remo-
ved. To facilitate this it is available a service
Kit which includes besides the above men-
tioned parts, the ice breaker O ring and a
tube of food grade waterproof grease.
