Marker Shear Bolt Replacement
Refer to Figure 70
If a marker gets caught or hits an obstruction, it is
designed to fail a shear bolt
at the fold, pivot on a sec-
ond bolt , and swing back.
The shear bolt is a hex head cap screw, 3 ⁄
8
-16 x 2in
Grade 2, Great Plains part number 802-266C, plus a
3 ⁄
8
-16 lock nut, Great Plains part number 803-013C.
Install a replacement shear bolt on the vertical faces on
the side opposite from the pivot bolt. Do not use a higher
grade bolt, or marker hang-ups may result in machine
damage. Do not use a smaller or lower grade bolt, or
you may experience nuisance shears.

in transport-carrier saddle.

or back as needed.
To adjust height of saddle, loosen 1 ⁄
