Before installing the drum on the driveshaft, make
a close, visual inspection of the entire assembly.
Determine that all flails and spacer washers are
properly secured on the rods and that no loose flail
or spacer washer has slipped its position during
assembly. Flails and spacer washers can fall off
the rods during assembly and become dislodged
and unnoticed. When the loaded drum begins
rotating at high speeds, these components can
fly off the drum causing property damage and/or
personal injury.

left, vertical side of the access plate should align tight
against the main frame.
8) Install the four 1/2 inch diameter x 1 inch long
capscrews and washers. Capscrews should install with
a minimal amount of resistance and related, alignment
problems. Torque the capscrews to 85 ft lbs (115
N.m). No lockwashers or similar devices are required.
