PTO Link HD Quick-Connect System - Safety Plunger Pin (Recommended Spare)

The PTO Link® HD - Safety Plunger Pin (SLIC Pin™) is designed to fully align the connected couplers of the PTO Link® System. The required Safety Plunger Pin further secures the couplers, much like a deadbolt lock, to minimize vibration and wear to the driveline, withstand most high-torque scenarios or instances of reverse torque on the PTO shaft, and provide safety, protection, and durability to the PTO Link® System.

Product Features:

• Installs from the tractor side toward the implement side
• Grade 8 Alloy Steel (rated shear strength at 150 ksi)
• Stand-alone one-piece locking clevis pin is a pin and cotter all in one
• Strong, spring-loaded wedge plunger that functions as an easy insertion ramp
• Plunger retracts when inserted and springs back up when inserted fully through the system couplers
• Dimensions: 1.5ʺ L x 0.625ʺ W
• Weight: 1.3 oz; Shipping weight: 2 oz

NOTE: A Safety Plunger Pin is included with every HD Tractor (Female) Coupler, but spares are recommended since it is a stand-alone pin and can be misplaced when not in use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Since high torque or reverse torque scenarios on the PTO are often unforeseen, installing the Safety Plunger Pin while using the PTO Link® system is always required.

INSTALL: After the two couplers of the PTO Link® System are connected and fully locked, locate the aligned 1⁄2ʺ opening through both couplers positioned across from the spring-loaded locking pin. Insert the Safety Plunger Pin through the 1⁄2ʺ opening of both couplers, starting from the tractor side towards the implement side until it emerges through the couplers. The spring-loaded wedge plunger will release its internal spring and secure the couplers together.

UNINSTALL: Depress the spring-loaded wedge plunger and push the end of the Safety Plunger Pin toward the tractor. Then, pull the head of the pin from the tractor side until it is entirely removed from the couplers. When the PTO Link® System is not in use, affix the Safety Plunger Pin through the 1⁄2ʺ opening on the Tractor Coupler or Implement Coupler for convenient storage.

PRO TIP: If at any time the Plunger Pin doesn’t slide easily go through both couplers, during installing or uninstalling it, a slight lift of the implement side coupler will help to align the Plunger Pin holes and therefore removing any potential “side pressure” on the pin and will also allow easier rotation and positioning of the wedged tip for removal.
