TO REPLACE SHANK MOUNT & LEG: WARNING! AUTO-RESET SHANK IS ALWAYS UNDER LOAD Spring is loaded and improper removal of bolts could result in serious injury. Shank is spring loaded and serious injury could result as shank resets. Do not disassemble without following procedure outlined in operator’s manual. Do not use hands or feet to dislodge any obstruction holding the shank in the tripped position.
SHEAR BOLT REPLACEMENT: Excessive distortion of holes in the shear bolt bushings and/or shank, as well as improper bolt grade and length, can result in premature or improper bolt shearing in both types of shanks. 1. Examine the replaceable bushings Figure 17a in the side plates for excessive distortion.
