IMPORTANT NOTE
It is very important that grease fittings on the auger shaft
are lubricated regularly. If auger rusts to shaft, damage to
worm gear may occur if shear pins do not break.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them. If
lubrication does not rectify the problem, see your dealer.
Under no circumstances should the unit be used if the
controls are not functioning properly.
