5.2.4 SHEAR BOLT:
Each PTO driveline is equipped with a shear
bolt on the implement end of the driveline. It
is used to protect the Bale Processor from
jamming, plugging or overloading.
When replacing the shear bolt follow this
procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially
small children.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop engine,
set park brake, remove ignition key and
wait for all moving parts to stop before
dismounting.
3. Remove any remaining bolt parts from the yoke
assembly. It may be necessary to use a hammer
and punch to remove the old parts.
4. Install genuine replacement parts.
5. Only use Grade 8 bolts as replacement parts.
5.2.5 DRAWBAR
The 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.
