AS REQUIRED

Auger Gear Box

The auger gear box is lubricated at the factory and should not require additional lubrication.

If for some reason the lubricant should leak out, or if the auger gear box has been serviced, add Lubriplate GR132 Grease or equivalent. Maximum 3-1/4 ounces, (92 grams) should be used.

Remove filler plug D (Figure 23 and Figure 24), once a year. If grease is visible, do not add. If grease is not visible, use a piece of fine wire, like a dipstick to check if there is grease in the gear box. Mobilux EP1 and Shell Aldania EP1 are suitable equivalents.
