FLAIL KNIVES
The shredder is factory equipped with “L” or cup type flails. The two types are interchangeable.
“L” Flails
“L” flails (Figure 15) work best when trash or crop resi- due is standing.
Cup Flails
Cup flails (Figure 16) can pick up material from the ground and work best in matted trash conditions.
The standard cup flail is 11 inches (279 mm) long and is used for most applications. Optional 7 and 9 inch (177 and 228 mm) flails are available to match the tip position to ground contour.
Attach optional cup flails as follows, making sure that knives at 180° match (see Figure 14) (see Balance Statement, page 5):
1.Leave standard flails located between the rows.
2.Remove others and install shorter flails to follow ground contour. Be sure to mount the same size flails on opposite sides of the tube. Measure the row spacing and flail position carefully to minimize ground contact. See page 36 and page 37.
