CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE
A
CAUTION
It is very important that grease fittings on auger
shaft (figure 6) are lubricated regularly. If auger
rusts to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur if
shear pins do not break.
With an oil can, apply medium weight
oil to points
A shown in figure 7. There
two grease fittings in
the auger shaft (figure 6). Wipe fittings clean and apply
two or three shots of grease. Also, use grease on other
points shown.
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where
contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off
belts and pulleys.
The air pressure in each tire should be 20 psi (136
and should be equal for both tires for best
Be sure to keep caps on valves to prevent entry of mois-
ture.
