5.5.5 Shear Bolt:
Each PTO driveline is equipped with a shear bolt on the implement end of
the driveline. It is used to protect the Processor from jamming, plugging or
overloading. Replace the shear bolt as needed. Be sure to use the appropriate
shear bolt when replacing. Using the wrong shear bolt can result in damage to the
machine.
Refer to Machine Specifications for proper shear bolt sizing (Section 7).
5.5.6 Hitch:
The H&S Bale Processor is equipped with an adjustable clevis style hitch. It is a
two piece design and is to be installed as shown. Do not use the hitch with the
clevis on top as it does not have sufficient strength to support the vertical loads
imposed by the Processor. Do not remove the clevis section unless the tractor
drawbar is equipped with a clevis. The clevis is required to counter the uplifting
forces that can be encountered under some circumstances. Adjust the
height of the hitch so that the Processor is level when connected to the tractor.
On tractors equipped with a clevis style drawbar, the clevis on the Processor must
be removed to prevent binding when turning or on uneven terrain.
Check hitch and clevis bolts on a weekly basis to make sure they are properly
tightened.
