TO REPLACE
AUGER
SHEAR
BOLT
The augers are secured to the auger shaft
with special bolts (see figure below) that are
designed to break (to protect the machine)
if an object becomes lodged in the auger
housing. Use of a harder bolt will destroy the
protection provided by the shear bolt.
IMPORTANT: To ensure safety and perfor-
mance levels,only original equipment shear
bolts shouldbe used. When replacing shear
bolts, be sureto replace shear bolt spacers.
