Auger Assembly Lubrication
Lubricate Auger Gear Box
The auger gear box is lubricated at the factory and should
not require additional lubrication. However, if lubricant
has leaked out or the auger gear box has been serviced,
additional lubricant may be required.
To check the auger gear box grease level, remove the filler
plug (A, Figure 12). Using a piece of wire as a dipstick,
check to confirm the presence of grease in the gearbox. If
grease is visible, do not add. If grease is not visible, add the
required lubricant. Use the color of the remaining grease
to determine what type of lubricant to add. If the grease is
white in color, add Lubriplate GR132 Grease or equivalent.
If the grease is brown in color, add EP1 lithium grease.
Gearbox lubricant capacity is 3-1/4 ounces (92 grams).
NOTE: Some auger gear boxes do not have a filler plug.
Please see your dealer for maintenance.
Figure 12
Lubricate Auger Shaft Fittings
Using a grease gun, lubricate the auger shaft fittings (B,
Figure 13). Refer to the Maintenance Schedule. 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, lubricate the shaft fittings, 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.
Figure 13

grease.
