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 15), 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 CONTROL LEVER LINKAGE
Check the function of the Free-Hand controls. The controls should function
as described in the OPERATION section.
Lubricate the linkage for the traction/Free-Hand control (A
A, Figure 16),
speed select control (B
B), auger control (C
C), and Easy-Turn control (D
D) every
ten (10) operating hours, or as necessary to ensure safe operation.
NOTICE: Under no circumstances should the unit be used if the
controls do not function properly.

LUBRICATE AUGER SHAFT FITTINGS
1. Using a hand grease gun, lubricate the auger shaft fittings (B
B, Figure
15) every ten (10) operating hours. Each time a shear pin (C
C) is re-
placed, the auger shaft (D
D) MUST be greased. (See “Auger Shear Pin
Replacement” 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.
