  • Page 14: Mounting The Bark Blower

    NOTICE The mounting of the blower to the truck must allow for tire clearance, as well as frame twist. Place hard-wood spacers along the length of truck rails or use FINN Spring Mounting Kit (number 011562) or equivalent. Follow mounting instructions given in Figure 1 and Figure 2 on Page 8. If mounting conditions require deviation from these instructions, consult the factory.

  • 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 for- eign objects all affect the ability of the Bark Blower to convey the mulch at a uniform and accept- able rate.

  • Page 17: Starting Procedure

    Check hopper and transition for foreign objects that could injure workers or dam- age equipment. Check the fluid level in the hydraulic tank. Make sure that the service valve is open on reservoir. Proper level is midway between the upper and lower indicator mark on the sight gauge.

  • Page 18: Subsystem 1: Material Handling Group

    SUBSYSTEM 1: MATERIAL HANDLING GROUP The four major components of the material handling group are the blower, the drag conveyor, the feed roll, and the airlock. The blower is a rotary lobe, positive-displacement-type unit having two double-lobe impellers. The blower is directly driven off the engine flywheel via a flexible coupling. Therefore, whenever the engine is running, air is being pumped.

  • Page 19: Description Of Valve Sections

    FRONT BOTTOM Figure 3 DESCRIPTION OF VALVE SECTIONS Figure 3 shows the valve block and the different hydraulic circuits. Each circuit, except for 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.

  • Page 20: Airlock

    D. AIRLOCK he last valve section of the manifold runs the airlock. The spool in the valve is factory set, so the airlock turns at about 12 rpm. The proportional valve in combination with the control box, provides adjustment of the airlock speed. There is a pressure switch on the forward circuit that is set for 2,400 psi (16,547 kPa) that triggers the auto-reverse function on the airlock.

  • Page 21: Subsystem 4: Radio Remote Transmitter

    SUBSYSTEM 4: RADIO REMOTE TRANSMITTER (RRT) This Bark Blower is equipped with a RRT to control the MATERIAL FEED START/STOP, the FLOOR SPEED, and the ENGINE THROTTLE. It also contains an EMERGENCY STOP button that acti- vates the Murphy shutdown system on the engine. If using the RRT, a certain start-up sequence must be followed to activate the remote.

  • Page 22: Bark Blower Adjustments

    9. With a firm grip on the end of the hose, press the material start button on the RRT. 10. Floor speed can be adjusted for the desired flow. Watch for auto-reversing of the airlock as well as shock waves through the hose. Listen for the relief on the blower. Partial plug- ging in the airlock discharge or hose may cause it to open, causing a high-pitched whine indicating over-feeding of the airlock.

  • Page 23: Regularly Tripping The Blower Relief

    C. REGULARLY TRIPPING THE BLOWER RELIEF The blower on your machine has a relief valve in the air line. This relief valve protects the blower against a large back-pressure that could build if the line becomes plugged. The relief valve, set for 14 psi (97 kPa), is located directly behind the blower in the engine area on the front of the machine.

  • Page 24: Dust Control System

    CAUTION In Quick Dump mode, the feed roll is exposed and can cause material to be thrown from the rear of the machine, especially at higher floor speeds. Please avoid being near the open gate at the rear of the machine. Failure to comply could reuslt in minor to moderate personal injury.

  • Page 25: Daily - After Every 4 To 8 Hours Of Operation

    DAILY - AFTER EVERY 4 TO 8 HOURS OF OPERATION 1. Check engine and blower air cleaner filters for dirt and debris. Remove and clean with dry compressed air if necessary. 2. Check engine coolant and oil levels. Add or replace as necessary. 3.

  • Page 26: Floor Chain Adjustment: Every 50 Hours

    E) Tighten the nine bolts on the three knife-clamps and replace the set-screw plugs in the access holes. 7. If a knife is worn past adjustment and needs to be replaced, follow the procedure below: A) Remove the nine bolts that hold the three knife clamps in place and remove the clamps and knife.

  • Page 27: After First 100 Hours Of Operation

    3. To adjust the chain tension, find the take-up bearings on either side of the floorsill near the front of the hopper. Using a 1-1/2-in. wrench, turn the tensioning rod clockwise to tight- en the chain and counterclockwise to loosen it. Always turn both tension rods the same amount so that the chain is always square with the drive shaft.
