4.
Loosen the flail basket bolts clamping the rings onto the
drum.
5.
Slide the assemblies to the desired position on the drum.
6.
Retighten flail ring bolts securing the basket to the drum.

Open defoliator top doors for access to flails.
2.
Inspect all flails and determine which ones need to be
replaced.

Remove flail rod mounting bolt.
