Drum Setup and Usage
Always ensure the drum is correctly balanced, this will increase operator
comfort and improve life and performance of the cutters.
By taking a shallow depth of cut and taking two quick passes, rather than one
deep pass, cutter life is increased dramatically.
By frequently replacing low cost items, i.e. shafts and washers, drum life can
be extended.
Always stagger TCT cutters as shown below when using TCT cutters and
washers.
To avoid imbalance the shafts must always have the same number of cutters
and spacers. Axial play must be at least 2.5mm to 5mm.
When fitting milling cutters on the flail shafts, all blades must face in the
moving direction.
Tolerance of the TCT cutters, drum and spacers may cause the
recommended number of spacers to vary slightly.
