LUBRICATE AUGER GEAR BOX
The auger gear box is lubricated at the factory and should not require
additional lubrication. If for some reason the lubricant should leak out,
or if the auger gear box has been serviced, add Lubriplate GR132 Grease or
equivalent. Maximum 3- 1/4 ounces, (92 grams) should be used.
Remove filler plug (A
A, Figure 24), once a year. If grease is visible, do not
add. If grease is not visible, use a piece of fine wire, like a dipstick to check
if there is grease in the gear box. Mobilux EP1 and Shell Alvania EP1 are
suitable equivalents.

LUBRICATE AUGER SHAFT FITTINGS
1. Using a hand grease gun, lubricate the auger shaft fittings (B
B, Figure

the auger shaft (C
C) MUST be greased. (See “Auger Shear Pin Replace-
ment” section.)
2. For storage or when replacing shear pins, remove shear pins and
lubricate auger shaft fittings (B
B). Rotate augers several times on the
shaft and reinstall the shear pins.
