Drive / Auger Control Lock
The cams on 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. The cams can be accessed beneath the
handle panel. Use a multi-purpose automotive grease.
See Figure 13.

Gear Case
The gear case is lubricated with grease at the factory
and it does not require checking. If disassembled for
any reason, lubricate with 2 ounces of Shell Alvania
grease EPR00, part number 737-0168. Before
reassembling, remove old sealant and apply new
sealant. See Figure 14.
Figure 14
To check the level of grease in the gear case, remove
the vent plug. On Model 1028 only, you may, if
necessary, add grease using a grease gun and the
grease fitting on the side of the gear case.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overfill the gear case, since
damage to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug
is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.
Auger Shaft
• At least once a season, remove the shear pins from
the auger shaft and spray lubricant inside the shaft.
See Figure 14.
•On Model 1028 only, grease fittings can be found
at either end of the auger shaft. Lubricate with a
grease gun once a season.
Auger Bearings
Every season lubricate the auger bearings and the
bearings on the side of the frame with light oil. See
Figure 14.
Drive and Shifting Mechanism
Lubricate at least once a season or after every 25 hours
of operation. Remove the rear cover, lubricate any
chains, sprockets, gears, bearings, shafts, and shifting
mechanism at least once a season. Use engine oil or a
spray lubricant. Avoid getting oil on the friction
wheel rubber and aluminum drive plate. Refer to
Figure 10.
There is a grease fitting on the top of the axle shaft
which drives the rear track drive wheels on both sides
of the unit. Grease these fittings every 25 hours or once
a season.
Gear Shaft
Lubricate the gear shaft with 6-n-1 grease at least once
a season or after every 25 hours of operation (available
at automotive stores, or order part number 737-0170).
Refer to Figure 10.
IMPORTANT:
Keep all grease and oil off of the rubber
friction wheel and aluminum drive plate.
