11.13 Shearing protection
DANGER
There are pinch and shear points in the area around the shearing
protection.
Never stand in the plough body trip zone while ploughing is tak-
ing place.
The plough bodies trip upwards when the shear bolt is overload-
ed.
Keep a safe distance away.
Only shear bolts of the size and quality shown below should be
used as these are the only bolts which provide effective protection
against damage.
When a shear bolt (1) has broken, proceed
as follows:
Loosen the bolt (2).
Remove the remains of the shear bolt.
Raise the implement and pivot the
tripped plough body back into its working
position.
Fit a new shear bolt (1).
Carefully tighten the shear bolt (1) and
the bolt (2). See «Tightening torques,
page 65».
