MONTHLY LUBRICATION

L12 Maintain oil level in the corner gearbox at the centerline of the input shafts. Check regularly for any observable oil leakage. If oil leakage is excessive, replace required input/output shaft oil seals. Use ONLY EP #80-90 wt. gear lube oil or an equivalent in corner box, only Lighter weight gear lube oil may be used in temperatures lower than 20°F. Change oil in the gearboxes after the first season of use and regu- larly thereafter.

ON CORNER OF FRAME

L13 Grease (1) brass bushing supporting the rear shaft of the 3rd auger assembly. This zerk is located on the left rear corner of the tank above the inner cross brace.

L14 Maintain the lube level in the (2) spinner gear- boxes at 3/4 full. Check regularly for any observable leakage. If leakage is excessive, replace required in- put/output shaft seals. Lubricate with Semi-Fluid, EP Lithium Base, Gear Grease.

L15 Clean and repack the wheel hubs with axle grease annually. Grease hub through zerk in hub monthly. Be careful not to over grease and force seal out of back side of hub.
