1.2 Points of maintenance
Outer auger bearing (1)
The grease nipples are located on each
side at the top of the outer auger bear-
ings.
These nipples must be lubricated at the
end of work to force out any bitumen res-
idues which may have entered and to
supply the bearings with fresh grease
when warm.
A
If the auger is extended, the outer rings
should be loosened slightly when initially
greasing the outer bearing points in or-
der to improve ventilation on greasing.
The outer rings must be properly se-
cured again after greasing.
A
New bearings must be filled with
6 strokes of grease using a grease gun.
