1.2 Points of maintenance
Auger – outer bearing (1)
The grease nipples are located on each
side at the top of the outer auger
bearings.
These nipples must be lubricated at the
end of work to force out any bitumen
residues which may have entered and to
supply the bearings with fresh grease
when warm.
If auger is extended, the outer rings
should be loosened slightly when initially
greasing the outer bearig points in order
to improve ventilation on greasing.
The outer rings must be properly secured
again after greasing.
New bearings must be filled with 60 strokes of grease using a grease gun.
