BLOWER DISCHARGE:
The B70 Straw Blower should be towed to a point approximately 20 ft. (6 m) from the area where
the mulch is to be applied. The operator should elevate the discharge spout to about 10 degrees
above the plane of the seedbed so that the mulch floats onto the seedbed.
NOTE: Do not drive the mulch into the seedbed with air pressure. The higher the
tube is held, the more uniform the application will be.
A full circle horizontal travel of the discharge spout allows the operator to vary the direction of
the discharge spout according to the prevailing winds. The tube should never be directed into
the wind, towards any persons, or at the towing vehicle. Use the engine throttle to control the
distance of the mulch.
Except for the side feed model, the shredder box cover has two positions. The lower position
directs material more quickly to the blower blade and provides higher capacity with bright straw.
The upper position is better for most hay materials since it retains the material in the shredder
box longer, resulting in a more even distribution. The unit is shipped with the cover in the lower
position.
The B70 Straw Blower has a beater roll on the extended blower shaft. Mounted on this beater roll
are four beater chains, installed opposite of each other. This arrangement will work well for most
materials. If a longer discharged fiber length is desired, remove two opposing chains.
Be sure beater chains are mounted opposite each other at all times to
avoid throwing the blower shaft out of balance. Failure to comply
could result in minor to moderate personal injury. Failure to comply could also result in
product or property damage.
If any obstruction stops the flow of mulch, immediately disengage clutch and shut off engine. Do
not reach into the beater box or attempt to make any adjustment until the engine and all rotating
parts have stopped. When the obstruction has been removed, the motor can be restarted and
mulch application can continue.
Do not reach into the beater box or attempt to make any adjustment
until the engine and all rotating parts have stopped. Failure to comply
WILL result in death or serious injury.
