7. Maintenance

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.

3. Use caution when repairing or replacing equipment parts.

4. Make sure ALL decals are legible and tightly attached to the auger. If necessary, replace them FREE

OF CHARGE by contacting the dealer, warehouse or the manufacturer.

5. Mount controls for any electric motors at a safe distance from the machine and in a location

accessible in case of an emergency.

6. Make sure ALL electrical wiring is not damaged and that it meets proper wiring codes.

7. Make sure ALL components are in good working condition before use.
