Maintaining the Auger
1. The U-joint must be lubricated with SAE multipurpose grease every 10 operational hours or after
each use.
2. The upper and lower gearboxes in the center well should be half-full with oil. They must be checked
and possibly filled with SAE 80W90 gear oil every 10 operational hours. Each gearbox should be
filled up to the fill plug, approximately making them half-full overall. It is recommended to replace the
oil in the gearboxes every season.

accessible in case of an emergency.
