ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install flail bar strap (Ref 20) to center of mounting bar (Ref 19) with chain on top of flail bar strap and
mounting bar bent away from you. Apply a light coat of lubricant to overall length of mounting bar.
2. Install one rasp flail (Ref 16) with knobby side down adjacent to sides of flail bar strap (Ref 20). Now
install a flat washer (Ref 18) so it sits adjacent with the outside of the rasp flail. Continue to install flails
with knobby sides down with washers between until you have 16 flails and washers on each side of bar
strap. Force all flails tightly toward bar strap.
3. After all 32 flails have been installed, place one spacer (Ref 17) to each end of mounting bar adjacent to
washer.
4. Install leveler bar (Ref 9) to mounting bar, with curved leveler bar resting on top on the smooth sides of
flails. If all flails and washers do not fit snugly at this time, remove leveler bar and install enough machine
bushings to ensure a snug fit. Then reinstall leveler bar.
5. Lay the frame (Ref 6) on the floor or bench with welded tabs facing up. Install ends of assembled mounting
bar, with knobby sides of flails up, into welded tabs on each end of frame and secure with 1 /

pin (Ref 3) and cotter pin (Ref 24). The hitch should be attached to the frame as shown.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Running attachment with all flails down, flat on the surface, will provide a leveling function. Running attachment
partially raised and flails at a 20° - 40° angle in relation to the level surface, will provide a finishing function. The
flails increase down pressure for desired finish. Drive in wide circular patterns and increase or decrease ground
speed to achieve desired finish.
