Lubricate Auger Shaft Fittings
Using a grease gun, lubricate the auger shaft fittings (B, Figure
13) every 25 operating hours, or once per season. Each time a
shear bolt or pin (C) is replaced, the auger shaft MUST be
greased.
For storage or when replacing shear bolts or pins, remove the
shear bolts or pins (C), lubricate the shaft fittings (B), and rotate
the augers several times to distribute the grease. Reinstall the
shear bolts or pins when complete.
NOTE: Some models are not equipped with grease fittings and
are exempt from these requirements.

the deflector mechanism with automotive type oil every twenty
five operating hours.
Where an oil can is pictured, lubricate with engine oil. Where a
grease gun is pictured, lubricate with lithium grease.
