7.4.1 Flail spacing
Steel Flail adjustment:
Amity Steel flails are used on the front drum only and spin at 1000 RPM and are balanced from the
factory. All steel flails are either full width (L
- knife and Cup knife) and do not need to be adjusted
when changing row spacing or they are welded at a specific row spacing and are not adjustable (50
series and over the row cup flails). Please refer to your Amity parts manual for the appropriate re-
placement if required.
Rubber Flail adjustment: (Refers to Studded, Tapered, Split, Block, and Sweep flails)
1. Open defoliator top doors for access to flails
2. Determine the required flail position by measuring from the center of the machine.
3. Mark the center positon required for each flail basket.
4. Loosen the flail basket bolts clamping the rings onto the drum.
5. Slide the assemblies to the desired position on the drum.
