INSPECTING THE AUGER PADDLE
Service Interval: Yearly - Inspect the auger paddle and have the distributor or
local agent replace the auger paddle and scraper if necessary.

the wear indicator hole, have the distributor or local agent replace the auger
paddle and the scraper (Fig. 22).
WARNING:
If the wear indicator hole is intact, you don 't need to replace the
auger paddle. If the wear indicator hole is exposed, replace the auger paddle
and scraper.
