Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Always keep spare shear pins on hand. Replace broken shear pins immediately to protect the auger gearbox from damage if it encounters a hard object.
