Spring Pin
Important
When installing the spring pin, do not
compress them intentionally.
If they are compressed too much, they may
come loose from the shaft and fall out of the
hole.
Important
Spring pins are consumables.
If the pins are twisted or compressed, replace
them with new ones.
Spring pins have a slot along the length.
