Regular Maintenance
LUBRICATION
Remove wheels and grease axles once each year.
Apply 5W-30 synthetic motor oil sparingly to the
friction disk drive hex shaft (A, Figure 15).
Apply medium weight (10W) oil to points shown (See
Figures 14-17).
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled
where contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and
grease off belts, pulley grooves, drive disc, and friction
disc.
LUBRICATION NOTES:
Grease locations indicated by grease gun
symbol. Use grease fittings when present.
Disassemble parts to apply grease to moving
parts when grease fittings are not installed.
Oil locations indicated by oil can symbol. Do not
allow oil to drip onto traction drive or friction
disc.
IMPORTANT NOTE
It is very important that grease fittings on the
auger shaft are lubricated regularly. If auger
rusts to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur
if shear pins do not break.
To prevent wheels rusting to axles, it is also
necessary to remove the wheels and grease
the axles regularly.
