MULCHING WITH THE MATERIAL BLOWER
1. Check all areas listed under PRE-START EQUIPMENT CHECK section of this manual.
2. Start the engine following all the steps listed under STARTING PROCEDURE section of
this manual.
3. Press the BLOWER softkey on the control panel (if in Local Mode) or press the RUN
toggle switch (if in Radio Mode). Refer to the CONTROL PANEL GUIDE AND SYSTEM
OPERATION section for running the unit in each mode. This will allow the material flow
speed to be adjusted.
4. With a firm grip on the hose, start material flow. Press the FLOOR softkey on the control
panel (if in Local Mode) or press the MATERIAL FEED toggle switch (if in Radio Mode).
This will allow the material delivery speed to be adjusted.
5. Adjust floor speed and engine throttle (blower speed) to achieve the desired amount of
material flow.
6. At the end of the load, push FLOOR softkey to turn floor delivery system off (in Local
Mode) or MATERIAL FEED toggle switsh down on the radio remote transmitter (in Radio
Mode) to stop flow of material to airlock.
7. At the end of the load, push BLOWER softkey to turn blower system off (in Local Mode)
or RUN toggle switsh down on the radio remote transmitter (in Radio Mode) to stop flow of
material from the airlock.
8. Shut down the engine.
MATERIAL BLOWER ADJUSTMENTS
The Material 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. However, material conditions can change from one load to the next or from one day to
the next. Weather conditions and material conditions can influence performance of the Material
Blower. Adjusting the floor speed, blower speed, and occasionally, the metering gate and/or
airlock speeds will allow the Material Blower to efficiently convey many different types of mulch.
Knowing when and how much to adjust the floor is the key to maximizing the machine’s
performance. The floor conveyor speed is controlled by the FLOOR controls on the control
pad and the radio remote transmitter. Refer to the CONTROL PANEL GUIDE AND SYSTEM
OPERATION section for more information on floor speed and floor speed settings.
