4.04 - Safety Shear Bolt
CAUTION: When this machine is equipped with a shear bolt driveline, for the
protection of the PTO and gearbox, never replace the shear bolt with anything
harder than a class 8.8 bolt. All warranties will be void if a bolt harder than a class
8.8 is used.
In the case of a shear bolt breaking (the operator will notice that the spreader will stop
even though the tractor PTO is still engaged), disengage the PTO, stop and turn off the
tractor.
Replace the broken shear bolt M06-1.00x40 C8.8 with another having the
identical characteristic of the original (see fig. 27).
Substituting different shear bolts other than those indicated by the manufacturer can
render the safety inoperable.
4.05 - Transport
CAUTION: Do not tow tractor and spreader behind other vehicles. Use a properly
equipped trailer with heavy tie-downs for towing operations.
Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
2. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when
traveling on roads or streets.
3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the spreader does not strike
obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.
