DRUM KICKER ADJUSTMENT
General
A drum kicker is provided on both flanges of the main load
drum (in boom butt) to improve wire rope spooling for long
boom lengths with small fleet angles where the wire rope
might stack up along either drum flange.
Observe the wire rope during initial break-in and periodically
during operation. If the rope stacks up at either end of the
drum, adjust the drum kickers.
Adjustment
See Figure 5-10 for the following procedure.
To move drum kickers (1) into the drum (take up space),
proceed as follows:
1. Remove drum guard from both ends of drum.
2. Remove an equal number of washers (3) from both
sides of kicker (1), one side at a time. Each washer
allows kicker to move 0.098 in (2,5 mm).
3. Loosely reinstall cap screws (2) and remaining washers
(3).
4. Loosen lock nuts (4) and adjust set screws (5) to move
kickers (1) into drum.
5. Repeat steps 1-3 only enough to improve spooling.
Moving drum kickers in too far can cause premature
wire rope wear.
6. Securely tighten set screws (5) and lock nuts (4).
7. Reinstall drum guards.
