ERATIONS General Notes Regarding the Installation of Flails 1 Because of variance in material thickness and manufacturing tolerances the specified number of spacer washers may not always fit within the narrow and wide sections If this occurs grinding a spacer washer to reduce its thickness is an option steel The brittleness of the tungsten carbide insert requires that it be fully supported to minimize breakage This requires a substantial flail body to provide the necessary support The resulting configuration makes the milling flail one directional in design This limitation requires the operator to install a loaded drum on the driveshaft with the tungsten carbide inserts facing the direction of rotation FIGURE 21 If the tungsten carbide inserts face opposite to the direction of rotation improper milling action and accelerated flail wear will occur FIGURE 20 CAUTION Exercise caution when grinding a spacer washer to reduce its thickness Wear safety eye wear and other appropriate safety apparel to minimize the potential for personal injury 2 Flails require sufficient free play to allow them to properly impact the work surface material If the flails fit too tight on the drum inconsistent material removal and accelerated flail wear will result The formation of rust between the flail and spacer washer surfaces will affect proper free play Excessive free play can also accelerate the wear of flails and rods As
