SHEAR BOLT ON PTO DRIVELINE HAS SHEARED

BROKEN CHAIN
Replace with the same grade and size shear bolt. Do not use any
bolt other than the grade specified in the MIXER SETUP,
DRIVELINE SHEAR BOLTS section. If problem persists, call your
local dealer.
Adjust or replace belts ad outlined in the INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTS section. If problem persists, call your authorized Kuhn
Knight service dealer.
Make sure that mixer is not overloaded. Replace broken chain. A
spliced chain will not be as strong as a new chain and may break
in another place. Be sure to inspect bearings, bearing mounts,
and shafts for any damage caused by excessive pressure.
