HARDWARE
Shredders operate in an inherently vibratory en-
vironment. Discipline yourself to regularly check
suspect bolt torques and lost, warn out, or bro-
ken parts. Replace these promptly.
HINIKER shredders are EQUIPPED ONLY WITH
GRADE 5 BOLTS (3 marks on heads) and re-
tained with TYPE B or F LOCKNUTS (except on
wheel legs, sheaves, backwrap idler inside nut,
and the gearbox which have lockwashers). Type
B locknuts are PLAIN hex. Type F locknuts are
FLANGED hex.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT REPLACE HARDWARE
WITH LOWER GRADE ITEMS. EXCEPT ON
SHEAVES (PAGE 34), ALL BOLT TORQUE
VALUES ARE FOR GRADE 5. HARDWARE
OVER, OR UNDER, TORQUING, CAN RESULT
IN UNSATISFACTORY DURABILITY.
