Turnbuckle Nut Catch Clip (205809)

Turnbuckle Nut Catch Clip (Polar # 205809)

Machines: Older Polar models (80 thru 92) that use a 36 mm turnbuckle nut. 

This safety catch clip  is used on the turnbuckle nut or adjusting nut on the Polar pull arm assembly (sometimes called a draw arm). These measure 36 mm across the hex on the turnbuckle nuts.

These safety clips help to prevent the operator from unscrewing the turnbuckle nut too far when adjusting the blade height during a blade change.  If the safety clip is not in place during a blade change then it is impossible to tell how far out the pull arm threads have been unscrewed.  This can result in destroying the threads on the upper arm and on the lower threaded arm of the pull arm assembly.
