Figure 4.59: Accelerators
Accelerators (A) are mounted on each outboard disc and are
designed to quickly move cut material off the disc and into the
conditioner. R216 SP headers have two pairs of accelerators on
the two pairs of outboard discs.
Periodically inspect accelerators for damage and loose or
missing fasteners, and replace as necessary.
IMPORTANT:
Always replace accelerators in pairs to ensure proper disc
balance.
NOTE:
Illustration at right shows the left side of the header. The right
side is opposite.
