100 SERIES ONE-MAN AUGER
FORM GOM08042002US, VERSION 1.0
English-EN 14
CHANGING AUGER TRANSMISSION GREASE
Tools Required:
1 each, 7/16 inch (12 mm) wrench
1 each, #2 Phillips head screwdriver
1 each, torque wrench, 120 inch pounds (13.5 N.m.) capacity with 7/16 inch
(12 mm) socket
1 each, plastic hammer
Parts Required:
1 each, PN 240-0100PAK2 transmission gasket
1 each, PN 210-0720 grease packet or 8 ounces (224 g) of high temperature
transmission or marine-grade, wheel bearing grease classified for
extreme pressure (EP) applications. Fisk Brothers (Lubriplate brand)
GR132 is an approved lubricant.
NOTE: Changing transmission lubricant will require a level working platform of
sufficient size and appropriate height. As an alternative, the transmission
driveshaft can be securely mounted in suitable bench vise.
1. Change transmission oil every 50 hours of operation, or more often as
necessary, if Auger is operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
2. STOP Auger per STOPPING AUGER in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
section of this manual.
3. Drain fuel from fuel tank into a UL, CSA or UN marked, European ADR
regulation approved fuel container. Wipe any excess spilled fuel and
dispose of excess fuel and/or rags per international and local regulations.
4. Remove transmission assembly bolts. Use plastic hammer to split/
separate transmission cover and case. DO NOT damage alignment
dowel pins.
NOTE: If journals of secondary pinion gear are difficult to remove from ball
bearings, transmission cover and case will separate with greater difficulty. It
may be necessary to provide a supplemental force to the pinion journals to
assist the removal process. If difficult to remove, complete STEP 5 thru 6. If
able to remove journals easily and separate cover and case, proceed to
STEP 7.
5. Using Phillips screwdriver, remove screw, lock washer and flat washer
from outside of transmission case and set aside. FIGURE 16
6. Insert a 1/4-20 UNC cap screw with a minimum 1 inch (25.4 mm) into
location where screw was removed. Using wrench, turn capscrew in
clockwise direction to apply thrust against pinion bearing journal until it
clears pinion gear support bearing. Repeat process with transmission
cover if necessary. FIGURE 16

7. Remove gasket plus, primary gear and pinion assembly.
8. Clean interior surfaces of transmission cover and case plus, pressure
relief valve with safety type solvent.
9. Clean each gear with safety type solvent. Inspect teeth for excess wear,
cracks or fatigue. Replace parts as necessary.
10. Fill transmission cover and case with 8 ounces (224 g) of high
temperature transmission grease containing an extreme pressure
additive. If Fisk Brothers GR-132 lubricant is not available, marine-grade,
wheel bearing grease classified for extreme pressure (EP) applications
can be used in its place. Refer to FIGURE 17
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use standard lithium-based greases intended for
common lubrication purposes. Such grease does not contain an extreme
pressure additive for use with gears or for operating at higher temperatures
encountered during hole digging process.
11. Reinstall primary gear and pinion assembly. Distribute grease equally
around all gear teeth. Install new transmission gasket. FIGURE 17
FIGURE 17
12. Reinstall transmission cover to case, being careful to align transmission
dowel pins during process.
13. Reinstall transmission assembly bolts with hexagon nuts placed on
transmission cover side. Torque all bolts to 96 inch pounds (12 N.m.) in
an “X” sequence.
14. Rotate driveshaft and check for excessive noise and/or binding. If
excessive noise and/binding is evident, disassemble transmission and
investigate for probable causes. Reassemble and retorque to specified
amount. Recheck for excessive noise and/or binding.
DANGER
• DO NOT smoke near fuel tank.
• DO NOT fill fuel tank with engine running or if it is hot.
• Allow ample time between each refueling for engine to
cool.
• An ignition source in close proximity to fuel tank can be
the source of an explosion, resulting in property damage
and/or personal injury.
• Consult material supplied by engine manufacturer for
information relative to proper fueling procedures.
DANGER
• Use safety type solvent.
• DO NOT use thinner, benzene, or other volatile solvents
that will attack rubber/plastic components when cleaning
Auger.
• Provide adequate ventilation.
• DO NOT smoke while using cleaning solvents.
• DO NOT use solvents with engine running or if it is hot.
• Allow ample time for engine to cool BEFORE using
solvents.
• An ignition source in close proximity to hot engine can be
the source of an explosion, resulting in property damage
and/or personal injury.
