LUBRICATION
NOTE: The drive pulley end of auger shaft is supported
by a sealed ball bearing and requires no lubrication. The
ball bearing on other end of auger shaft is also sealed,
and will not require lubrication.
Lightly Oil
• A few drops of oil should be placed on wheel
hubs occasionally to keep wheels turning
freely.
• Apply oil to pivot points of auger control peri-
odically, wiping off any excess oil.
• A couple of drops of light machine oil applied to
upper end of auger control cable will assure free
movement of cable through outside casing. Wipe off
any excess oil.
• Remove belt cover and lightly apply oil to the pivot
point for idler pulley arm. BE CAREFUL NOT TO
GET OIL ON BELT OR PULLEYS.
Grease
• At the beginning of each snow throwing sea-
son, remove discharge chute and generously
lubricate steel flange at back of rotating ring
with light grease. Rotate ring with crank to dis-
tribute grease.
