EVERY 6 MONTHS ● EVERY 12 MONTHS ◆ ◆ ◆ EVERY 24 MONTHS ● SHEAR PIN REPLACEMENT If gate arm is vandalized and the tapered pin in the output shaft has been sheared, it must be replaced correctly and with the right pin type. Replacement must be done by always punching out the pin (or pieces) from the small end only. If drilling is required, DO NOT DAMAGE THE SHAFT, use a drill bit smaller than the small hole size of the pin. (Correct pin (P/N MA013) is a 2" pin with a number 6 taper only.) NEVER USE A BOLT AS A TEMPORARY FIX, THIS WILL DAMAGE THE SHAFT AND COLLAR. 1. Turn the S3 Manual Open switch to OPEN on the control board to rotate gate arm bracket to the up position. 2.
