Check for loose/broken wires or components. Tighten or replace as required.

MAINTENANCE TIPS
Check on a regular basis the isolator rubber tubing for wear or bulging.
Check the belts for fraying, checks and the bearings for deterioration.
Grease the bearings at least one a week or as needed per environment.
STUFFING BOX
The stuffing box should be checked for leakage. To order new stuffing the part number is H-120. To
replace stuffing, remove the stuffing box end caps and take out the old, dirty stuffing. Pack the box with
new, clean stuffing. Using a hammer and blunt tool, pound the stuffing material solidly into the stuffing
box and fill completely. Repeat the process until the box is completely filled. Replace end caps tightly.
As the auger is in operation, check the stuffing box. The jam nuts should be tightened back to hold the
stuffing inside. If material is seeping out the stuffing box, continue to tighten the bolt pressing the ear in
harder until the seepage stops. It is not necessary daily, but should be checked to make sure material is
not leaking out the box.
AUGER
Check auger frequently for smooth operation. Check to see if it is warped or bent. Movement, noise or
vibrations are indications of problems.
