the screw retaining the Auger Bushing into the Auger Tube.

clockwise. It will turn hard until it breaks free, then the Auger will turn freely.

Auger Tube and Firepot. A shop-vac is ideal tor this task.

inside of the Auger Tube and sand it if needed. Vacuum sanding grit out of the
Auger Tube and Firepot when finished.
6) Reinstall the Auger Bushing and the Auger into the Auger Tube, making sure that
the Auger rotates freely.
7) Re-attach the Auger shaft to the Auger Drive Motor shaft.

WITH THE TRAEGER DIGITAL CONTROL, WHAT DIAL SETTING IS
RECOMMENDED FOR STARTING THE GRILL?
The auto-start procedure is the same for all Grill Controls. With the Door open, turn
the Switch/Dial ON and Temperature Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes
you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets ignite. After
assuring the Pellets have ignited, close the Door and set the Temperature Dial to
any cooking setting desired.
HOW DO I PROTECT MY PAINT FINISH?
1) Use a protective Cover on the Grill and touch-up paint to repair any scratches.
A
TRAEGER GRILL COVER to protect the Grill is highly recommended! Covers
and touch-up paint are available from your Traeger Dealer, or log on to our
Web Site –
2) Every 90 days, use a high quality car wax on the outside surfaces of the Grill. ONLY
APPLY WAX TO A COLD GRILL.
