Owner`s manual

b) The Gearbox used on machines manufactured after August, 2011(Serial Number J-

13862 and later) are shown in the drawing below. This Gearbox requires three and one-

half (3-1/2) pints of Gear Oil. To inspect Lube Level, remove the Oil Level Inspection Port

Plug the location shown in drawing. This Inspection Plug is located on the end plate of

the right side of the gearbox below the frame rail near the torque arm assembly. Fill

gearbox to the bottom level of this hole. Add oil if required through the Breather/Fill Port

located on the rear side of the gearbox housing. When replacing Gear Oil, remove the

cover at the lower end(left side) of the gearbox. Drain the Gear oil when it is hot. Flush

the inside of the gearbox with Lubriplate Syn Flush or equal before adding new oil.

The Gearbox should be inspected frequently as to its location on the output shaft. The

clamping collars four(4) set screws must be tight on the shaft and with either the two(2)

speed reducer-housing bolts or the housing itself should touch the front end of the motor

mount.

4) Compaction Tube

The compaction tube must be inspected regularly and kept clean and free of holes. For

holes in the compaction tube, steel patches can be welded on the inside of the STEEL

compaction tube and ground smooth to maintain proper auger clearance. CAST

Compaction Tubes cannot be repaired. When the compaction tube is damaged or worn

beyond repair, a new compaction tube must be purchased.

5) Augers

Each extrusion auger has been designed to give double life against abrasive wear by

being interchangeable end for end. During the daily check if the clearance between the

inside of the compaction tube and the outside auger edge exceed the limits below turn it

end for end, placing the unworn end of the auger to the discharge side of the auger

housing. On machines equipped with multiple augers (2 or 3), all augers can be turned
