Shear Bolt; Hydraulics - Schulte FM-115 Operator's Manual

Shear Bolt

NOTE: Both length and grade are important in this
specification. For example M10 X 50 Grade 8.8
indicates a metric bolt 10mm in diameter, 50 mm
long of grade 8.8.
IMPORTANT: Tighten nut only enough to draw the
shear plates together. Do not over tighten nut.
Occasionally apply grease to the shear plates.
IMPORTANT: Replacement of the shear bolt with
one of any other grade or size will be considered an
unauthorized modification and the warranty will be
void.
Refer to your Snow Blower operator's manual for shear bolts used to protect the snow blower cross auger.

HYDRAULICS

Inspect hydraulic hoses, fittings and cylinders for wear or leaks. Use a piece
of cardboard or wood rather than hands to search for suspected leaks.
Replace if necessary. Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be
sure all connections are tight and that the hoses are not damaged.
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do
not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from
breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,
safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.
