Marker Shear Bolt
The marker arm is attached to marker body with a shear
bolt
, which is intended to fail if the marker strikes an
obstruction, allowing the marker to swing back around a
second bolt
.
If the shear bolt breaks, replace it with an equivalent bolt,
which is one of:
3 ⁄<denominator>8-16x1 3 ⁄
4
in Grade 2 bolt (Great Plains
802-253C) or
3
⁄<denominator>8-16x2in Grade 2 bolt (Great Plains
802-266C).
If that size is not available in your local market, substitute
an M10x1.5 Class 5.8 metric bolt and nut.
Note: Replacing the bolt with a lower grade/class, or
smaller size, can result in nuisance shears.
Machine Damage Risk: Replacing the bolt with a higher
grade/class can result in marker damage.
