FINN BARK BLOWER INTRODUCTION The FINN Corporation would like to thank you for your latest FINN purchase. In our efforts to maintain a quality and growing relationship with every customer, we would like to encourage you to contact us for help with service, genuine replacement parts, or for any other information you may require.
SELECTING A MULCHING MATERIAL Several factors must be considered when selecting material to convey through the Bark Blower. The variety of the wood used, how it is processed, its moisture content, and the presence of for- eign objects all affect the ability of the Bark Blower to convey the mulch at a uniform rate. The mulch material must be processed and/or screened so that a minimum of material is over 2 in.
7. Inspect the engine air cleaner (refer to the engine operator's manual), the radiator chaff screen, and blower air cleaner for dust and dirt. If necessary, clean or replace the air filter. 8. Check fuel level. Use number 2-D diesel fuel oil unless operating at ambient temperature below 40ºF (4ºC) or at an altitude exceeding 5000 ft (1524 m).
CREW MEMBERS AND THEIR DUTIES 1. The Operator controls the placement of the mulch by moving and aiming the discharge hose. 2. The Loader(s) feed material to the machine by using a skid steer, bucket loader, belt con- veyor, or optional feed conveyor to dump material directly into the hopper. THE MATERIAL-FEED SYSTEM The material-feed system on the Bark Blower has been designed to give fast and uniform mechan- ical feeding.
DESCRIPTION OF VALVE SECTIONS Figure 1 shows the valve block and the different hydraulic circuits. Each circuit, except the Hose Reel (HR) circuit, is controlled by two valves. On the Floor (F) and AirLock (AL) circuits, the flow rate is controlled by the proportional valves. These valves can be manually stroked by inserting a small rod or screw driver into the hole in the bottom of the solenoid.
HOSE REEL The last section of the manifold controls the hose reel. The flow rate is factory-set so that the hose reel winds, and unwinds at a rate of about 13 rpm. SUBSYSTEM 3: HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM The hydraulic control system is an electrical system that controls all the hydraulic functions on the Bark Blower.
SUBSYSTEM 4: RADIO REMOTE TRANSMITTER This Bark Blower is equipped with a Kar-Tech® Radio Remote Transmitter to control the MATERIAL START/STOP, the MATERIAL DECREASE/INCREASE, and the ENGINE RPM INCREASE/ DECREASE. It also contains an Emergency Stop button that activates the Murphy shutdown sys- tem on the engine.
Light Color Function Indicator Should be glowing when engine key is ON. Shows Blue ON/FUSE power from the ignition switch through the 10-amp cir- cuit breaker in the electrical control box. (Will shut off when feeding) Green DOOR SWITCHES Should be glowing when engine key is ON if the rear door is closed and the interlock switches are making proper contact.
11. Floor speed can be adjusted from 2.0 for smooth flow. Watch for auto-reversing of the air lock, as well as shock waves through the hose. Listen for the relief valve on the blower. Partial plugging in the discharge or hose may cause it to open, causing a high-pitched whine, indicating overfeeding of the airlock.
C. REGULARLY TRIPPING THE BLOWER RELIEF The blower on your machine has a relief valve in the air line to protect the blower against a large back pressure that could build if the line becomes plugged. The relief valve, set for 12 psi (83 kPa), is located directly behind the blower in the engine area on the driver's side of the machine.
QUICK-DUMP FEATURE The Bark Blower has a Quick-Dump feature that can be used to unload bulk material quickly. 1. Shut off the feeding system by pressing the STOP button on the control panel. 2. Open the access door above the airlock. 3.
ELECTRONIC TIMER RANGE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS The following instructions present all of the necessary steps to program the Electronic Timer. Turn selectors securely with use of a flat screwdriver (4 mm maximum wide blade). NOTICE An incomplete setting may cause a malfunction. Be careful to not turn the selectors beyond their limits.

MAINTENANCE: CAUTION Turn engine OFF and disconnect battery before servicing equipment. Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate personal injury. Failure to comply could also result in product or property damage. DAILY - AFTER EVERY 4 TO 8 HOURS OF OPERATION 1.
C) The knife-adjusting screws are reachable through the access holes in the outside front/ rear face of the airlock housing. Using a 5/32-in. allen wrench, adjust each of the screws in until there is a uniform gap of 0.003 to 0.006 in. (0.08 mm to 0.15 mm) between the knife and rotor.

WINTER SHUTDOWN AND STORAGE 1. Blow all material out of machine, turn engine OFF, and disconnect battery cables. 2. Remove the inlet elbow to the blower air chamber and coat internal of impeller cylinder with a rust inhibitor, such as WD-40. Reconnect piping to prevent foreign debris from entering blower chamber.
