1.2 Points of maintenance
Auger - outer bearing (1)
The grease nipples are located on each
side on the top of outer bearing.
These are to be lubricated after work, to
expel the eventually penetrated bitumin
residue while hot and to keep the lubri-
cation of the bearing.

In case of auger extension, slightly un-
tighten the outer rings for the first lubri-
cation of the outer bearings, ensuring
better venting.
Following the lubrication the outer rings
shall be retightened properly.

Fill the new bearings using sixty strokes
of the grease gun.
