honda hru216 Lawnmower shear pin?

[4 Gardens]

I recently changed the blades on my Honda HR . It was making a horrible squeaking noise when starting and stopping which I worked out was one of the blades swinging and not being tight enough.

When I removed the blade carrier and the other bit? not sure what it is called - which left the shaft with 2 slots. I only had one small flat piece of metal to go into one of the slots - is it a shear pin. Should I have two shear pins as there are 2 slots?

Does the indy store sell them if I need them.

Thanks for any help.

thanks, it fit best in the bottom slot - is that ok?

[administrator]

that is correct the bottom one .

The motors are used for different applications thats why there is two slots on the shaft

see pic number 14 is key
