LUBRICATION & ADJUSTMENT FOR OPTIONAL 3RD

AUGER

WARNING: DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE SHAFT AND HYDRAULIC HOSES (RELIEVE HYDRAULIC

PRESSURE) BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THIS MACHINE. FAILURE

TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

WEEKLY LUBRICATION (every 25-30 loads)

Grease (1) bearing supporting the front shaft

of the 3rd auger assembly. This bearing is grease line

fitted to the spreader front, bearing back plate. The

zerk is accessible by opening the front steel shielding

cover.

SEASONAL LUBRICATION

Maintain oil level in the (1) oil bath enclosure at

the top, check plug line level. Check regularly for any

observable leakage. If oil leakage is excessive, repair

with silicone. Use #80-90 wt. gear lube oil or an

equivalent. Lighter weight gear lube oil may be used in

temperatures less than 20° F. Change oil in the oil

bath enclosure after the first season of use and

regularly thereafter. (2.5 gallon capacity)

Condensation can occur. Drain out water (bottom

plug) as needed.

• Remove lower plug for draining purposes.

• Remove reservoir cover or level plug for filling

purpose. (Seal cover tight with silicone when re-

installing.)

ADJUSTMENTS

The 3rd auger drive roller chain (large LH top

reduction sprocket weldment to the 3rd auger)

enclosed in the oil bath is automatically tensioned by a

spring loaded idler/slide pipe. The tensioning,

extension spring should extend 3/4” from its neutral 4”

total length.

Manual adjustment for the automatic tensioning idler

assembly is located at the RF, top of the oil bath

enclosure just under the cover.
