The marker arm is attached to marker body with a
3/8-inch, grade 2, shear bolt. If this shear bolt
breaks, replace it with a grade 2 bolt.
Note: Failure to replace the shear bolt with a
grade 2 bolt can cause marker damage.
If grease-seal cap for marker-disk-hub bearings is

Repack with grease and install a new seal or
grease cap.
