OPERATION OPERATING CONTROLS Debris Blower Commands

Debris Blower Utilization

1. Use the PTO button to start and stop the impeller. Start the engine and put the throttle lever at low engine speed.

Engage the PTO lever and maintain engaged. Make sure the debris blower is turning in the right direction. If not, switch the quick couplers. To stop the rotation, disengage the PTO button.

1. A debris blower purpose to displace rather light debris to a variable distance according to the impeller speed. For heavy debris, it is recommended using some other equipment type such as a rotary broom. For an optimum performance, lower the debris blower as the 3 wheels touch the ground. Make sure the loader control lever is in floating position to allow the equipment to follow the ground variation and so more debris to be blown.

2. Never engage or disengage the debris blower at high engine speed or the hydraulic motor(s) could get damaged.

3. Raise and lower the debris blower using the hydraulic lift lever located on the tractor. Pulling the lever backward raises the debris blower, pushing the lever forward lowers the debris blower.

4. Control impeller speed with the RPM that controls the debris ejection power.

WARNING: To avoid equipment damage : never raise the tractor front with the debris blower.

2. For light debris, use a higher vehicle ground speed. For heavier debris, use a reduced vehicle ground speed. For small area, lower the tractor motor speed to eject debris on a short distance.

For wider area, use higher speed.

Nozzle air ejection Orientation Equipment air ejection can be done to the right or the left. To change direction, move the orientation arms on the debris blower. See decal on equipment to check arm positions for right orientation.

WARNING: To avoid serious injuries: never move the orientation arm when the debris blower is running.

MAINTENANCE TROUBLESHOOTING Optimum Performance IMPORTANT: The optimum performances of the debris blower are only achieved after 10 to 15 minutes of debris blower operation. It is therefore important to ensure that the hydraulic oil reaches a temperature of over 40ºC (104ºF) before judging the debris blower performances.

The following chart serves as a guide in case of a malfunction. If the problem is not solved after taking the appropriate corrective measure, contact your dealer.

WARNING: Several corrective measures present a certain risk, which may cause serious injuries or death.

Only a qualified person, familiar with the risks associated with hydraulics, electricity and machinery should perform the repairs.

Review the safety precautions at the beginning of this manual.

WARNING: Hot engine parts and hydraulic oil can cause serious burns. Always let the engine cool before proceeding with repairs or maintenance.

CAUTION: The oil temperature must never go above 65ºC (149ºF) to avoid damages to the hydraulic components.

PROBLEM

1. The Impeller does not turn

2. The Impeller is turning in reverse

ASSEMBLY Screw the fitting the number of turns listed on the above table making sure that in the case of a shape fitting the end is aligned to the desired position. Never unscrew a fitting to obtain the proper alignment.

The method used to assemble fittings with NPT threads is in two stages. First tighten firmly by hand then tighten one again according to the number of turns listed on the above table. The following method is recommended to minimize the risks of leaks and/or damages to the parts.

If the leak persists after having followed the preceding instructions, check that the threads are not damaged and the number of seated threads.

Inspect threads and tapping to make sure they are clean.

If the threads are very damaged, replace the fitting. If the tapping is damaged, retap if possible or replace the part.

Apply a sealant/lubricant product to the NPT threads (Teflon covered threads are preferable to other lubricating products). If PTFE tape (Teflon) is used, make 1,5 or 2 turns clockwise.

Usually, the number of threads seated is between 3, 5 and 6. If the range is different it would indicate that the fitting was tightened too much or not enough or that the tightening was not within thread tolerances. If the fitting is not tight enough, tighten but never more than one turn. If it's too tight, control the threading and tapping and replace the section that has threads that are not within tolerances.

Attention: More than 2 turns can cause distortion or cracks in the orifice.

Tighten the fitting by hand.
