Blade Pins and D-Ring Inspection
Inspect Blade Pins and D-Rings daily for wear or damage as follows:
Inspect the Blade pins and D-Rings daily for abnormal wear. Make sure the cotter pins are
in place and properly spread. REPLACE BLADE Pins and D-Rings IMMEDIATELY if they
have:
• Visible cracks or
• If a Pin or D-Ring has visible worn areas, or
• If a Pin or D-Ring has gouges or chipped areas
Failure to replace abnormally worn pins or D-Rings may lead to catastrophic failure and ejection of the broken
part, which may cause serious bodily injury or death.
Always replace the pins and D-Rings whenever excessive wear is noticed.
If the cotter pins are broken by contact with other flail blades, remove the pin and reverse
the direction the pin is inserted through the D-Ring so that the cotter pin is on the opposite
side of the D-Ring. This will prevent the next set of blades from swinging back and hitting
the cotter pin.
