SERVICE

SHEAR BOLTS - Main Drive
The beater and the apron drive are protected by one shear bolt located on the front end of the side drive
shaft (left side of spreader). Two spare shear bolts are provided. Shearing of the bolts is normally due to
foreign objects in the manure or starting the spreader PTO too quickly with high tractor RPM's.
Always use H&S shear bolts when replacing shear bolts.

SPARE SHEAR BOLTS
SHEAR BOLTS - Apron Drive
The main apron is protected by two shear bolts located on the drive sprocket on the main conveyor drive
shaft at the rear of the spreader. Two spare shear bolts are provided. Shearing of the bolts is normally
due to the apron being frozen fast to the floor or the slats catching on manure that is frozen to the floor.
In some cases, the bolt will shear due to the spreader being overloaded. Always determine the cause of
the failure and eliminate the cause before installing new shear bolts. Always use H&S shear bolts, when
replacing shear bolts.
