The driveline has a shear bolt assembly for overload protection. This shear bolt type overload protection needs very
little maintenance. If the motor free spins during operation, the shear bolt has broken. Replace the sheared bolt with
a new one of the same diameter, length and grade. Any bolt of different specifications than listed below will prevent
the shear bolt assembly from operating properly and can cause damage to the mixer.
