8FP FLOOR PLANER SERIES OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL REV #2 (05/28/09) PAGE 20
TREATMENT PROCESS AND COMPROMISE THE
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, RESULTING IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
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.
