ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS
On occasion, it may be necessary to remove severely worn drum rods from the flail drum by the use of a band saw or similar device. FIGURE 10. Proper preventative maintenance and operational procedures will minimize these occurrences.
FIGURE 10
CAUTION
Utilize proper personal protection devices and exercise caution when attempting this procedure. Secure/stabilize the drum on a solid surface to prevent accidental rotation.
FLAIL DRUM DESIGN AND APPLICATION.
Flail drums are manufactured from alloy steel and heat treated to extend the service life. Drums are classified by the number of sections between the side plates.
FIGURE 11
The one section flail drum incorporates the four flail rods supported only by the end plates. FIGURE 11. To provide additional stability and structural rigidity for the drum rods, four support straps are included as a standard accessory. These support straps can be installed about the flails in lieu of the standard spacer washers. FIGURE 12. Additional support straps can also be assembled as required to provide for additional rigidity for the drum rods.
FIGURE 12
CAUTION
Never operate the one section drum without the use of a proper quantity of support straps to provide for additional stability and structural integrity. Property damage and/or personal injury can result.
The added flexibility of the one section flail drum can be especially useful on many, specialized job applications. These job applications are usually limited to grooving, or light scabbling and scarifying applications. Example: grooving concrete floors to minimize the chance of animals and humans from falling and sustaining injuries. This end result can be readily accomplished by the correct spacing of flails, spacer washers and support straps on a one section drum. FIGURE 13.
