SHEAR PIN REPLACEMENT,
If the auger strikes an object which could cause damage
to the unit, the shear pin will break. This protects the
gear box and other parts from damage. The shear pins
are shown in figure 15. To replace, install a new shear
pin and cotter pin. Spread the legs of the new cotter pin
fully. Do not replace shear pins with bolts, screws or a
harder shear pin.
