AUGER SHEAR PIN REPLACEMENT

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with special shear pins
that are designed to break if an object becomes lodged in the
auger housing. Use of a harder grade shear pin will reduce the
protection provided by the shear pin.
WARNING: Do not go near the discharge chute or auger
when the engine is running. Do not run the engine if any
cover or guard is removed.
Under most circumstances, 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 (A, Figure 21) are located on the auger shaft.
Replace a broken shear pin as follows.
1. Tap out the broken shear pin with a pin punch.
2. Install a new shear pin and cotter pin. Bend the ends of the
cotter pin down.
NOTICE: Do not replace shear pins with anything other than the
correct grade replacement shear pin. Use of bolts, screws, or
harder grade shear pins can result in equipment damage.
