CHECK / LUBRICATE FREE-HAND LINKAGE

Check the function of the Free-Hand controls: the con- trols should function as described in the CONTROLS section. It is critical for the safe operation of the unit that the controls disengage when released.

If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them. If lubrication does not rectify the problem, see your dealer. Under no circumstances should the unit be used if the controls are not functioning properly.

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.
