CHANGING AUGER TRANSMISSION OIL
Tools Required:
1 each, 15/16 inch (24.8 mm) open or closed end wrench or use a
socket/ratchet combination
1 each, small, clean funnel with a flexible extension spout.
NOTE: Changing transmission oil will require a level working platform of
sufficient size and appropriate height. As an alternative, the transmission output
driveshaft can be securely mounted in suitable bench vise.
1. Change transmission oil every 25 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. Position Auger vertically, engine spark plug facing up and bottom of
transmission housing facing toward you. Support to prevent accidental
movement.
5. Wipe any dust or dirt from oil plug area located on transmission bottom.
Remove plug with wrench.
6. Tilt unit forward to allow oil to completely drain from transmission into a
suitable container.
7. Re-position unit back to vertical position with spark plug facing up. Using
funnel, pour 24 fluid ounces (0.7 L) of Transmission and Engine Oil, PN
999-11, or a high grade, SAE 30 Detergent or 10W30 motor oil through
plug opening.
8. Maintain oil level in transmission at bottom of oil plug hole. Allow any
excess oil to drain out of transmission. This procedure determines correct
oil level for transmission. DO NOT operate Auger with improper oil level.
NOTE: Correct oil level is important to ensure proper centrifugal clutch
operation. Maintaining oil level too high will cause excessive clutch slippage
and result in high oil temperatures. Excessive slippage and high oil
temperatures will significantly reduce service life of clutch assembly and affect
overall performance of Auger.
NOTE: Use only an oil marked with an engine service classification SJ or
higher. As a general rule, transmission usually uses same oil type and weight
as 4-Stroke engine crankcase.
9. Inspect oil plug gasket, replace if worn. Reinstall oil plug. Tighten
securely with wrench. Wipe off any excess oil spilled on transmission.
Dispose of used oil/rags per international and local regulations.
MAGURA® THROTTLE CONTROL MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
For every 8 hours of actual operation and whenever throttle cable is replaced,
the following maintenance program is to be followed:
1. Remove plastic cover to properly inspect internal components. If
damaged or worn, replace. FIGURE 22
FIGURE 22
2. Inspect idler pulley. Normal use will produce a wear pattern into idler
pulley by throttle cable. Maximum allowable groove wear depth created
by cable is 0.045 inch (1.1 mm). Wear depth in excess of this limit
requires idler pulley replacement.
3. Inspect throttle cable for excessive wear and fraying of area in direct
contact with idler pulley. Abnormal wear or fraying requires replacement
of throttle cable.
4. Inspect barrel end of throttle cable for proper retention. Properly retained
barrel end will have no relative movement between it and inner cable.
Any relative movement requires throttle cable replacement.
FIGURE 23
FIGURE 23
5. Inspect receptacle area of throttle control which retains barrel end of
throttle cable. Properly fitted barrel fitting should have complete freedom
of movement with no binding restrictions or excessive play due to wear.
Barrel fitting which is binding within receptacle requires throttle cable
replacement. Excessive receptacle wear requires specific component
assembly replacement. FIGURE 24
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.
WARNING
• DO NOT use auger bit with auger teeth and screw worn
past their specific service limits.
• Excessive wear to auger teeth and screw will allow auger
bit flighting to wear in a tapered or inverted cone
configuration.
• A worn boring head may only be capable of digging a
hole 60 to 75 percent of auger bit nominal diameter.
• Configuration will allow auger bit to "bind" in hole and
substantially reduce operator control and productivity.
DANGER
• DO NOT operate auger bit which has bent or damaged
axle with total indicator runout exceeding maximum
allowable limit.
• Excessive auger bit wobble can reduce operator control,
resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
