SERVICE
SHEAR BOLT
Both beaters at the rear of the spreader are protected by one shear bolt located in the PTO at the front of
the spreader. Four spare shear bolts are provided. Shearing of shear bolts is normally due to large
frozen chunks of manure, foreign objects (rocks, chunks of wood, etc.) in the manure, running the apron
too fast when unloading long straw and pen-packed material, or STARTING THE SPREADER PTO
TOO QUICKLY WITH HIGH TRACTOR RPM’S. Always determine the reason for shearing bolt and
eliminate the problem before replacing the shear bolt. Always use the proper H&S shear bolts.
