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.

Bearings and bushings

Atl bearings and bushings are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.

Hex shaft and chains

For storage hex shaft should be wiped with a cloth lightly moistened with motor oil to prevent rusting (see Figure 26).

For storage chains should be lubricated with a chain type lube. (see Figure 26).

NOTE: Any greasing or oiling of the above mentioned components can cause contamination of the rubber friction wheel. If the disc drive plate or friction wheel come in contact with grease or oil damage to rubber friction wheel will result.

Should grease or oil come in contact with the disc drive plate or friction wheel be sure to clean plate and wheel thoroughly with a alcohol base solvent.
