SHEAR PROTECTION
Shear pins protect the planter driveline and row unit components from damage.
1. Determine where binding has occurred before replacing a pin. Turn shaft by hand (with the aid of a wrench) and
check for misalignment and seized parts.
2. When shaft can be turned by hand (with the aid of a wrench) replace shear pins with same size and type. Spare
shear pins are in wheel module storage area.
NOTICE
Misaligned drill shaft/transmission coupler can cause equipment
damage.
3. Check driveline alignment and follow prescribed lubrication schedules to prevent component binding or breakage.
