Troubleshooting
Plate does not fit securely
Verify that you have a compatible Howard Flail Head and that the dimensions of the plate match the specifications required for your head. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection.
Uneven material spreading
Check that the plate is attached correctly and that the flail head is functioning optimally. Ensure the material being spread is not clumpy or excessively wet, which can affect distribution.
Rust or corrosion impacts fit
Clean any rust or corrosion from the plate and the corresponding parts of the flail head using a wire brush. Apply a lubricant or rust inhibitor if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This flail plate is designed to fit over an existing Howard Flail Head. Ensure the flail head is clean and free of debris before attempting to attach the plate. The plate secures onto the head, expanding its footprint. A connecting pin, which is not supplied, will be necessary to complete the assembly. Consult your machinery's manual for specific installation details.
Compatibility: Primarily compatible with Howard Flail Heads. The specific dimensions (A=101MM, B=75MM, C=8MM, D=48.5MM, E=33MM, F=41MM) should be cross-referenced with your existing equipment to ensure a proper fit.
Care: Given that the product may arrive with minor rust or corrosion, it is advisable to inspect the plate upon receipt. If rust is present, it can be cleaned with a wire brush and, if desired, treated with a rust inhibitor for longevity. Ensure the plate is kept clean from excessive build-up of agricultural materials after each use to maintain optimal performance and prevent premature wear.
