IMPORTANT: Keep all grease and oil off of the rubber friction wheel and
aluminum drive plate.
Chute Directional Control

Gear Case
The gear case is lubricated with grease at the factory and it does not require
checking. If dis-assembled for any reason, lubricated with 60 mL (2 ounces) of
Shell Alvania grease EPB00 or equivalent. Before re-assembling, remove old
sealant and apply new sealant.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the gear case, since damage to the seals could
result. Be sure the vent plug is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.
