BARK BLOWER SAFETY SUMMARY SECTION
It is important that all operators of this machine are familiar with all the safety aspects
mentioned below before operating the machine. Always keep a copy of this manual with
the machine. It is the responsibility of the operator of the machine to fully understand this
safety section. Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices protect
not only you but also the people working with and around you. Keep in mind that this safety
sheet is written for this type of machine only. Practice all other usual and customary safe
working precautions; and above all, remember that safety is up to you.
I. PRE-START EQUIPMENT CHECK
(equipment check is to be made with the
engine off)
1. Check hitch and hitch bolts,
safety chains, lights, brakes, and
breakaway switch. Verify that the
hitch ball or pintle hook is the
correct size for the coupler.
2. Verify that all guards and guarding is in place.
3. By carefully looking into the blower hopper and
transition, inspect for and remove any foreign
objects. Follow Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) lockout/tagout procedure (29
CFR 1910.147)
4. Inspect all hydraulic hoses and tubes for cracks,
bulges, or damage. If hose and / or tube is cracked,
bulging, or damaged, replace immediately.
5. Inspect the material discharge hose and
connections for cracks or damage. If cracks
or damage are found, replace affected part
immediately.
II. MACHINE OPERATION
1. Always wear safety goggles when
operating and/or feeding the
machine. Other safety attire, such
as safety shoes, ear protection,
gloves, hard hats, dust masks,
etc., should be worn as required
by warning decals on machine,
operator’s manuals, or job site requirements.
Remove rings, watches, etc. Avoid wearing loose-
fitting clothing that may get caught in rotating
machinery.
2. Do not override or tamper with the safety-shutdown
switches on the folding door or discharge. If
switches fail, use OSHA lockout/tagout procedure
(29 CFR 1910.147) until switches are repaired or
replaced.
3. Do not operate the machine without
all guards in place.
4. Never attempt to connect, or disconnect the
discharge hose while the engine is running.
5. Make sure that no one is working
in or on the machine. Make sure
the discharge area is clear of
all persons, animals, etc. Signal
visually or audibly that all is clear
before starting the engine. Keep
unauthorized personnel away from
the machine and discharge hose at all times.
6. The driver of the towing vehicle is responsible for
the safety of the operator(s) and feeder(s) of the
machine. Make sure the driver is aware of and
avoids all possible hazards, such as tree limbs, low
power lines, etc.
7. Do not allow anyone to ride on the trailer or any
other part of the unit for any reason.
3
15. When leaving the blower unattended for any
reason, be sure to:
A. Shut off the rotary air valve and conveyor, then
turn off the hydraulic system.
B. Shut off vehicle engine and blower engine.
C. Place transmission of the vehicle in
“NEUTRAL” or “PARK”.
D. Set parking brake firmly.
E. Remove keys from blower unit.
F. Lock vehicle cab and take all keys with you.
G. If parked on a steep grade, block / chock the
wheels.
These actions are recommended to avoid
unauthorized use, runaway, vandalism, theft, and
unexpected operation when the equipment is
unattended.
16. Do not read, eat or otherwise lose or lessen your
attention in any manner while operating the blower.
Operating the equipment is a full-time job.
17. Be careful in getting on and off
the blower, especially in wet, icy,
snowy, or muddy conditions. Clean
mud, snow, or ice from steps,
fenders, and footwear.
18. All personnel operating in/or around the machine
must be aware that the blower can be controlled via
remote control. For safety reasons and to prevent
accidental starting, always keep the Emergency
Stop (e-stop) button depressed on the remote
control hand held unit when unit is not being used.
19. Turn slowly and travel carefully on rough surfaces
and side slopes, especially with a loaded blower
hopper.
8. Never operate machine in an
enclosed area without venting
the engine exhaust of both the
equipment and the towing vehicle.
Deadly carbon monoxide fumes
can accumulate.
9. Never operate this or any other machinery when
fatigued, tired, under the influence of alcohol,
illegal drugs, or medication. You must be in good
physical condition and mentally alert to operate this
machine.
10. Never modify the machine. Never remove any part
of the machine (except for service and then reinstall
before operating).
11. During application through the hose, high pressure
can be exerted at the end of the hose. Hose-holding
personnel must establish good footing. The operator
should only increase the engine RPM which
increases the air volume in the hose only after
hose-holding personnel are firmly positioned and
have firm control of the hose. Additional personnel
to direct hose may be necessary if working on
slopes. The proper technique for grasping the
hose is to route and firmly grasp the hose over
the shoulder or under both arms. Never route/hold
the hose so it goes between the legs. If the hose-
holding personnel finds that it is uncomfortable to
handle the hose by himself, additional hose holders
should be positioned at the end of the hose.
12. The blower discharges material at pressures and
velocities that can cause severe bodily injury. Do
not aim discharge at people, animals, etc. Only
aim the discharge at the intended discharge area.
Unless properly protected, do not place hand into
the discharge stream.
13. Do not open any doors or access
panels while machine is in
operation. Severe injury may result
from rotating parts.
14. Do not attempt to pull anything
out of the blower hopper while
machine is in operation. Shut
down and lockout the engine
using the OSHA lockout/tagout
procedure (29 CFR 1910.147)
before removing any foreign objects. Signal visually
or audibly that all is clear before restarting the
machine.
4
III. MAINTENANCE
1. Before servicing the machine, turn
off engine and allow all moving
parts to stop. To prevent accidental
starting, disconnect battery
cables. Tag the engine operating
area to show that the machine
is being serviced. Use lockout/tagout procedure
(OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147).
2. Take extreme care when adjusting
or replacing knives. Knife edges
are very sharp and can cause
severe bodily injury.
3. Radiator maintenance: Liquid cooling systems
build up pressure as the engine gets hot. Before
removing radiator cap, stop the engine and let the
system cool. Remove radiator cap only after the
coolant is cool.
4. Battery maintenance: Lead-acid batteries contain
sulfuric acid, which will damage eyes or skin on
contact. Always wear a face shield to avoid getting
acid in the eyes. If acid contacts the eyes, flush
immediately with clean water and get medical
attention. Wear rubber gloves and protective
clothing to keep acid off skin. Lead-acid batteries
produce flammable and explosive gasses. Keep
arcs, sparks, flames, and lighted tobacco away.
5. Filling of fuel: Never fill the tank with the engine
running, while smoking, or when near an open
flame. Never smoke while handling fuel or working
on the fuel system. The fumes in an empty fuel
container are explosive. Never cut or weld on or
near fuel lines, tanks or containers. Move at least
10 ft (3 m) away from fueling point before starting
engine. Wipe off any spilled fuel and let dry before
starting engine.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to allow fuel, lubricant,
hydraulic fluid, or cooling fluids to contaminate the
surrounding environment. Collect all fluids and
dispose of them properly.
6. It is recommended that only authorized, genuine
FINN replacement parts be used on the machine.
7. Do not use ether cold start fluid, if engine is
equipped with glow plug-type preheater, or other
intake manifold-type preheater. It could cause an
explosion or fire and severe injury or death.
8. Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin or
eyes and cause injury, blindness,
or death. To check for such leaks,
use a piece of cardboard or wood
instead of your hand. Pressure
may build up in the hydraulic
system; use caution when removing the cap.
9. Some parts and assemblies are quite heavy. Before
attempting to unfasten any heavy part or assembly,
arrange to support it by means of a hoist by
blocking or by use of an adequate arrangement to
prevent it from falling, tipping, swinging, or moving
in any manner. Failure to do so could result in
component damage, or physical injury to someone.
10. If repairs require use of a torch or electric welder,
be sure that all flammable and combustible
materials are removed. Fuel or oil reservoirs
must be emptied, steam-cleaned, and filled with
clean water before any cutting or welding on them
is attempted. Do NOT weld or cut on any tank
containing oil, gasoline, fumes, other flammable
material, or on any container of which the previous
contents were unknown.

RUNAWAY VEHICLE HAZARD!
Always inspect tow vehicle and equipment hitch before towing.
Tighten all hitch bolts and properly connect wiring and safety chains.
BREAKAWAY SWITCH
DO NOT use for parking.
Attach cable to towing vehicle with enough slack for turning.
Engine battery on trailer must be charged and hooked-up for proper breakaway function.
SAFETY CHAIN INSTALLATION
Both the single and double chains must be crossed under tongue. They must be oriented in such a manner as to prevent
tongue from dropping to ground in event of failure to hitch, coupler or ball. Chains must be connected to towing vehicle so
slack for each length of chain, between trailer and towing vehicle, is the same and must have no more slack when in use than
necessary to permit proper turning of vehicles. Forward end of chain must be attached to towing vehicle, not to ball, but to
hitch or other frame member. Chain must be looped around member and hooked back into itself.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
OF THE FINN BARK BLOWER
INTRODUCTION
The FINN Corporation would like to thank you for your latest FINN purchase. In our efforts to
maintain a quality and growing relationship with every customer, we would like to encourage you
to contact us for help with service, genuine replacement parts, or for any other information you
may require.
THE FINN BARK BLOWER AND ITS FUNCTIONS
The FINN Bark Blower is an apparatus for conveying and discharging bulk materials, such
as bark mulch, at a fast and uniform rate while utilizing a minimum amount of manpower. The
product to be used is generally composted and processed, then used as a soil amendment,
ground cover for erosion, weed control, or for decorative purposes on landscaping (bark mulch).
This manual is intended to provide step-by-step instructions on the operation, care, and
maintenance of the Bark Blower. In addition, it contains illustrations and a complete list of parts
and components for easy identification.
HOW THE BARK BLOWER WORKS
Bulk material is loaded into the hopper by a loader or by the feed chute. Located along the
bottom of the hopper is a drag chain conveyor that conveys the bulk material to an opening, in
the rear of the hopper, containing a feed roll. The feed roll and drag chain conveyor feed the
bulk material into the rotary air valve. The rotary air valve has been specifically designed and
built to handle tough, fibrous materials such as bulk mulch. The function of the rotary air valve
is to take the bulk material and convey into an enclosed chamber where it is then introduced
into the high volume / low pressure air stream. The air stream is created by the blower, which is
directly coupled to the engine and is channeled through the rotary air valve and then through the
discharge hose.
For best results and to ensure safe operation and long life of the
equipment, please read and follow all instructions carefully.

TOWING VEHICLE
The truck that will be used to tow the FINN BB302 Bark Blower must be equipped with
a 2-5/16 in. ball or pintle-type hitch. The tow vehicle must also be able to support a
600 lbs. (272 kg) hitch load as well as safely tow a trailer with a GVWR of 6000 lbs. (2722 kg).
SELECTING A MULCHING MATERIAL
Several factors must be considered when selecting material to be conveyed through the Bark
Blower. The variety of the wood used, how it is processed, its moisture content, and the presence
of foreign objects all effect the ability of the Bark Blower to convey the mulch at a uniform and
acceptable rate.
The mulch material must be processed and/or screened so that a minimum ammount of material
is over 2 in. (5.1 cm) in any direction, with no material exceeding 4 in. (10.2 cm) in length. The
Bark Blower is not a wood processor. The Bark Blower only reduces mulch fibers when they
protrude above the rotary air valve vanes. As the vanes rotate past the knives, the protruding
fibers are sheared off. If the mulch contains long or large fibers and/or the wood fibers are harder
to cut, then the machine’s throughput will be reduced. For example, if two mulches have the
same mix of material sizes that the Bark Blower rotor must cut, but one is a softwood like pine
and one is a hardwood such as oak, the pine would go through at a higher rate because it is
easier to cut. Two characteristics must be considered when selecting a material: the “greenness”
of the wood, and the moisture of the mulch as a whole. Wood that is well-seasoned is easier to
cut than “green” wood. Seasoned wood also processes better, making a less stringy mulch. If the
mulch has a high moisture content, it may stick together and form a "bridge" inside the hopper
or a blockage in the discharge hose. If a bridge occurs, no material will be processed until the
bridge is broken or the blockage is removed.
Avoid using mulches that contain any hard foreign objects such as
rocks, nails, steel, cans, glass, etc. Failure to comply could result in
minor personal injury, product damage, or property damage.
10
PRE-START EQUIPMENT CHECK
Equipment check must be made with the engine off and all rotating
parts stopped. Failure to comply could result in minor personal injury,
product damage, or property damage.
1. Check all trailer connections to the towing vehicle, as well as the condition of the safety
chains, and bolts connecting the ball coupler or pintle eye to the tongue.
2. Ensure that all guards are in place.
3. Tool Kit - make sure that it contains all prescribed items (see Tool Kit list).
4. Lubricate equipment. Use hand gun only (see Lubrication Chart information).
5. Check engine oil and fill or change if necessary. Refer to engine operator’ s manual.
6. Check the radiator liquid level and fill if necessary. (Protected to -34°F (-37°C) when
shipped.)
7. Check fuel level. Use ultra low sulfur diesel fuel only.
8. Inspect the engine air cleaner (refer to the engine operator’s manual), the radiator chaff
screen, and the blower air cleaner for dust and dirt. If necessary, clean or replace the air
filter.
9. Check hopper and transition for foreign objects that could injure workers or damage
equipment.
10. Check the fluid level in the hydraulic tank. Proper level is when the sight gauge is
completely full with unit sitting on level ground. See Hydraulics information for oil
specifications.
11. Install the discharge hose. Use the clamps provided with the machine.
Do not use radiator type clamps. These clamps may not hold under
machine operating pressure. Failure to comply could result in minor
personal injury, product damage, or property damage.

FAULT CODES
Engine fault codes (active and stored) are generated by the engine ECU and communicated to
the control panel.
ACTIVE FAULT CODES
The control system reads standard
messages to indicate active fault
codes. When a fault is active the
control system activates a popup fault
display containing a check engine
icon, fault code number (if applicable),
a description of the active fault and
an “Active Codes” alarm stripe at the
bottom of the display. The control
system will activate the red LED fault
indicator above the digital display.
When an active fault is presented, the
user must acknowledge the fault by
pressing the softkey indicated. See
“Acknowledging Active Faults” section.
After acknowledging a fault condition,
the system will return to normal
display operation. The controller will
indicate that an active fault is present
by displaying a “Check Engine” icon
on the main data display. The system
will also display an “Active Codes”
alarm stripe at the bottom of the display.
ACKNOWLEDGING ACTIVE FAULTS
When the control system receives a new fault, the digital display responds by overlaying a fault
pop-up graphic onto the currently active runtime display. This alerts the operator, signaling a
response is needed by the operator. The display above (top) represents an unacknowledged
fault for an oil pressure fault condition. To acknowledge an active fault, press the “Acknowledge”
softkey (middle) button. This will remove the pop-up graphic. The control system will continue to
inform the operator that a fault is active or until the fault is corrected.
Note: If the fault condition is cleared the associated pop-up will be automatically removed.
