•The DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER drive components are protected from damage by Grade 5 Shear Pins in the Tine Assemblies (Figure 21). The Shear Pins hold the Tine Assemblies in proper location on the Drive Axles. Should a Tine Assembly strike or pick up a large hidden object and jam, the Shear Pin holding the Tine Assembly to the drive shaft will shear or break, and the drive components of the DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER will not sustain damage.

•Two (2) extra sets of Tine Shear Pins are included with the DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER.

•The design of the Tine Shear Pin is to loosely fit when properly installed.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO USE A BOLT OR PIN THAT IS LARGER OR HARDER THAN THE ORIGINAL GRADE 5 SHEAR PIN.
