* Replacing a shear pin
If necessary, lower the load until the shear pin is outside
the housing, see Fig. 8. Unlock and remove telescope lever
by turning it.
The broken pieces of the pin can be removed from the
holes with a punch and hammer.
Remove spare pin from the jaw-opening lever (HIT 6/10) or
the carrying grip (HIT 16/32).

Shear pins with higher strength can cause the rope pulling machine to be
overloaded and break.
