DRUM KICKER
A drum kicker is provided on both flanges of the main load
drum (in the 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 5-13 for the following procedure.
To move the drum kickers into the drum (take up space), use
the following procedure:
1. Remove the drum guard from both ends of the drum.
2. Remove an equal number of washers (4) from both
sides of the kicker (2), one side at a time. Each washer
allows the kicker to move 2,5 mm (0.098 in).
3. Loosely reinstall the cap screws (3) and remaining
washers (4).
4. Loosen the lock nuts (5) and adjust the set screws (6) to
move the kickers (2) into the drum.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 3 only enough to improve
spooling. Moving drum kickers in too far can cause
premature wire rope wear.
6. Securely tighten the set screws (6) and lock nuts (5).
7. Reinstall the drum guards.
