2. Hex Gear Shaft: Once a season, lubricate the hex shaft with a
penetrating oil, but not grease. Refer to Figure 21 on page 17.
3. Gear Case: The gear case is lubricated with grease at the factory
and does not require regular lubrication. However, if disassembled
for any reason, lubricate with 2 ounces of Shell Alvania™ grease
(part # 737-0168). Before reassembling, remove old sealant and
apply new sealant.
NOTE: Do not overfill the gear case. Damage to the seals could result.
4. Wheels: Once a season, remove the bolt from each wheel and
take the wheel off the axle. Apply a multipurpose automotive
grease on the shaft before putting back the wheels.
5. Auger Shaft: At least once a season, remove the shear pins on
auger shaft. Spray lubricant inside shaft, around the spacers. Also
lubricate the flange bearings found at either end of the shaft. See
Figure 13.
6. Drive/Auger Control Lock: The ends of the control rods which
interlock the drive and auger controls must be lubricated at least
once a season or every 25 hours of operation using a multi-purpose
automotive grease. This can be accessed beneath handle panel.
