Regular Maintenance
LUBRICATION
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.
Remove wheels and grease axles once each year.
Figure 10. Chute Lubrication
Apply medium weight (10W) oil to points shown (See
Figures 10-13).
Apply 5W-50 synthetic motor oil to the friction disk drive hex shaft (A, Figure 11).
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.
