1.
Check all bolts for tightness, including those on the gearbox mountings, brackets
and mixing paddles. Tighten as necessary.
2.
The non-drive end of the auger is fitted with a nylon bush which does not require
greasing, but it would prolong its lifespan if given a squirt of freeing oil like WD40 or
similar each week. Check the auger discharge end for wear. You are looking for
play on the shaft in both the horizontal/vertical axis. There should be minimum
movement. The nylon bush (part no.
AW_76_NYB)
may be wearing if you notice more
movement. If this is the case, it is time to replace the nylon bush. Fitting instructions
will be provided. This is a wearing part. Please refer to page 14.
3.
Check all hydraulic hoses/fittings for wear and damage and replace any
hoses/fittings that appear to be damaged.
