Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or obstructions. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly.
- Shear Pins: Keep a supply of correct shear pins and replace them immediately if broken. Using incorrect or stronger pins can damage the auger gearbox.
- Belt Tension: Check belt tension regularly and adjust as needed. Loose belts can slip, reducing performance and causing premature wear.
