  • Page 16: Selecting A Mulching Material

    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 foreign objects all effect the ability of the Bark Blower to convey the mulch at a uniform and acceptable rate.

  • Page 17: Starting Procedure

    CAUTION: Do not use radiator type clamps. These clamps may not hold under machine operating pressure. STARTING PROCEDURE: CAUTION: See safety section of the manual (pages 2-4) before operating the machine. 1. Turn the remote control to the off position on the remote control panel. 2.

  • Page 18: Subsystem 2: Hydraulic System

    The airlock receives the material from the drag conveyor and pressurized air from the blower. Its primary function is to convey the material from the atmospheric air to a sealed chamber where the blower air picks it up and blows it out of the hose. To enable the Bark Blower to convey fibrous material, the airlock housing is equipped with two sharp cutting knives, and the vanes on the rotor are angled and hardened.

  • Page 19: Gate

    FRONT BOTTOM Figure 3 GATE The left side of the manifold controls the hose reel. The flow rate is factory set so that the hose reel winds at a rate of about 13 RPM. AGITATOR The third valve section controls the speed and rotation of the agitator. The spool in this section is factory set so that the agitator rotates at approximately 4 RPM.

  • Page 20: Subsystem 3: Hydraulic Control System

    SUBSYSTEM 3: HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM The hydraulic control system is a digital system that controls all of the hydraulic functions of the Bark Blower. This 12-volt DC system runs off the engine electrical system. It is a programmable logic controller (PLC) sys- tem contained in the control box on the rear passenger-side of the machine which controls the solenoid valves in the hydraulic system.

  • Page 22: Bark Blower Adjustments

    BARK BLOWER ADJUSTMENTS: Your Bark Blower has been designed to be as simple as possible to operate. The feed roll and airlock are designed to create a smooth, consistent flow of material from the hopper to the discharge. The agitator has been designed to eliminate possible material bridging in the hopper and to help improve mulch consistency as it enters the feed roll chamber.
