Lubrication

Wheels

At least once a season, remove both wheels. Clean and coat the axles with a multipurpose automotive grease before reinstalling wheels.

At least once a season, remove the shear pins on auger shaft. Spray lubricant inside shaft, around the spacers. Also lubricate the flange bearings found at either end of the shaft. See Figure 24.

Gear Case

The auger gear case has been filled with grease at the factory. If disassembled for any reason, lubricate with two ounces of grease (Part Number 737-0168). Before reassembling, remove old sealant and apply new sealant.

NOTE: Do not overfill the gear case. Damage to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.
