MSD 7R SHEARS
SHEAR REMOVAL FOR
STICK MOUNTS
1.
Locate flat, hard ground. With the bottom of the
shear facing the operator, set the shear on the
ground (figure 3-5).
2.
Use blocking to support the bucket linkage and
remove the link pin.
Removal of any pin connecting the shear to the
base machine can be hazardous. Never remove
any pins unless the shear is properly supported
on the ground (or blocked up if necessary) or
serious injury could result.
3.
Fully retract the bucket cylinder after it is de-
tached from the shear mounting bracket (figure 3-6).
4.
CAREFULLY remove the hydraulic lines from the
shear.
Trapped hydraulic pressure may be present after
base machine is turned off. Extreme caution
must be taken when removing shear hydraulic
hoses or injury or death could result.
5.
Cap the open fittings and hose ends to prevent
contamination of the hydraulic system.
6.
Stand clear and instruct the operator to set the
shear flat on the ground (figure 3-7).
7.
At this point, be extremely sure the shear is stable
before releasing the weight of the shear.
8.
Remove the stick pivot pin from the shear.
