Auger Shaft

At least once a season, remove the shear pins from the auger

shaft. Spray lubricant inside the shaft and around the spacers

along the shaft. Using a grease gun, apply two strokes of grease

(Part Number 737-0168A) to the fitting found at each end of

shaft. See Fig. 6-3.

Gear Case

The auger gear case has been filled with grease at the factory. If

disassembled for any reason, lubricate via the grease fitting with

two ounces of grease (Part Number 737-0168A).
NOTE: Always remove the vent plug prior to lubricating the gear

case. See Fig. 6-3. Failure to do so could result in damage to the

seals.
