CHECK AUGER PADDLE WEAR
See Figure 13.
Check that paddles have not worn past wear
indicator holes. Replace auger paddles when
paddles have worn completely through wear
indicator holes. See Replace Auger Paddles
on page 14.
CHECK SCRAPER BLADE WEAR
Replace scraper blade if damaged,
completely worn through, or with every other
paddle replacement. See Maintenance
Schedule on page 13.
NOTICE: DO NOT allow scraper blade to
wear down too far or auger housing will
become damaged. See Replace Scraper
Blade on page 17.
CHECK BELT WEAR
Adjust auger cable to compensate for belt
wear. If auger cable has been adjusted for
maximum tension and auger stops or stutters
when auger control lever is engaged, belt
may need replacement. See Adjust Auger
Cable on page 15 and Replace Drive Belt on
Page 16.
