Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This Howard Head is designed to be integrated into an existing flail chain system. Ensure the chain is clean and free from debris before attempting to attach the head. The head requires a separate connecting pin (not supplied) to secure it to the chain. Verify the pin size matches the head's aperture for a secure fit.
Compatibility: The product is specifically designed for 3/8" flail chains, commonly found in agricultural equipment like muck spreaders and some types of mowers. It is not intended for use with other chain sizes or types of machinery.
Care: Given the potential for surface rust or corrosion from storage, it is recommended to clean the head with a wire brush or appropriate metal cleaner upon receipt. Applying a light coat of lubricating oil can help prevent further rust formation, especially if the machinery is stored outdoors. Regularly inspect the head for signs of wear or damage during routine machinery maintenance.
