SHEAR PIN
A shear pin is used to protect the
propeller and drive mechanism from
damage when the propeller strikes an
obstruction.
When replacing, remove the
emergency stop switch clip
to prevent an accidental
startup of the engine.
The propeller is thin and
sharp. To protect your hands,
wear the heavy gloves during
replacement.
