Additional information
This clevis pin, part number 711-0310, connects linkage or pivot points while allowing the joint to move freely during operation. Proper fit helps maintain accurate movement and keeps connected components aligned.
If a linkage feels loose, disconnects, or does not move smoothly, the clevis pin may be bent, worn, or missing. Excessive play at the connection point can also indicate the pin is no longer holding securely.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the power source appropriate for your equipment to prevent accidental operation. Insert the clevis pin fully through the linkage holes, then secure it with the retaining clip so the connection stays in place during use.
