Shear Bolt Standards
A 5/8 x 3-1/2 in. Grade D shear bolt (A) is used on each standard to protect the standards from damage when an obstruction is hit.
CAUTION:
To avoid injury, do not try to remove a broken bolt if the standard is in raised position. Carefully reset the standard to vertical (normal) position before replacing a shear bolt.
IMPORTANT:
After shear bolts (A) have been replaced and tightened to specification, tighten standard cap screws (B) to specification.
