BEARING LUBRICATION 
 
1. Before each season of operation, apply two 
shots of grease (Snapper suggests using Benelene 
900) from a grease gun into gear case. The grease 
fitting for the gear case is located in front of the 
gear case. See Figure 3.2. 
2. Before each season of operation, apply two 
shots of grease (Snapper suggests using Benelene 
900) from a grease gun into auger bearing. The 
grease fitting for the auger bearing is located on 
each end of the auger. See Figure 3.2. 
3. Before each season of operation, apply two 
shots of grease (Snapper suggests using Benelene 
900) from a grease gun into the auger shaft. The 
grease fitting for the auger shaft is located in the 
middle of each auger. Remove shear bolts and 
rotate auger to distribute grease evenly around 
shaft. Reinstall shear bolts and nuts. Tighten to 5 to 
10 ft. lb. of torque. See Figure 3.2.
