  If the Finn Blower engine won't start, it could be due to a fault code generated by the ECM. In this case, you should check the fault code and take the necessary steps to fix it. Another possible reason is that there's no fuel. Make sure to check the fuel gauge and the water separator bowl.

What to do if the floor is not turning on my Finn Bark BB302 Blower?

  If the floor of your Finn Blower isn't turning, it could be because the dump valve solenoid isn't energized. Try pressing the FLOOR ON/OFF button on the keypad. Also, ensure the plug is connected on the bottom solenoid valve and that you're getting 12 VDC across the plug terminals. If the solenoid valve is stuck due to contamination, press the override button in the center of the solenoid valve cartridge. If the feed roll or floor is jammed, check the gauge reading; if it's at 2000 psi, push the FLOOR ON/OFF button and reverse the floor using the auto reverse (AUTO REV.) button.

How to fix discharge material pulsing on Finn Bark BB302 Blower?

  Kelsey CarterAug 5, 2025
  If the discharge material from your Finn Blower is pulsing instead of flowing smoothly, it could be caused by too much material and not enough air flow. Try increasing the engine throttle and decreasing the floor speed accordingly. Another possible cause is a partial blockage in the rotary air valve discharge. Check the rotary air valve discharge for any blockages or air leaks.

  If your Finn Blower's rotary air valve is constantly auto-reversing, it might be due to overfeeding the rotary air valve. Try decreasing the floor speed. See the Bark Blower Adjustments section for more tips. Another potential cause is dull rotary air valve knives. Check the knife clearance and sharpen or replace the knife if it's dull or chipped.

  If the Finn Blower engine is overheating, it could be due to a lack of coolant. Check for any leaks and add coolant as needed. Another possible cause is an obstructed radiator. Blow out the radiator to clear any obstructions, but be careful not to use pressurized water, as this could damage the radiator fins.

  If the rotary air valve on your Finn Blower isn't turning, first ensure that the hydraulics master toggle switch is in the ON position and press the MATERIAL START button on the hardwired pendant. Also, check that the rotary air valve clean out door switches are closed by making sure the doors are closed and the handles are screwed down to ensure the switches are closed. Finally, confirm that the MATERIAL START button on the pendant was firmly pressed to initiate material flow.

What to do if the rotary air valve is stalling on my Finn Bark BB302 Blower?

  If the rotary air valve on your Finn Blower is stalling and not auto-reversing, it could be because the pressure switch isn't closing at 2,100 psi. Check the pressure switch connections or replace the switch if necessary. Also, check the relief setting of the rotary air valve.
