SUBSYSTEM 4: RADIO REMOTE TRANSMITTER (RRT)
This Bark Blower is equipped with a RRT to control the MATERIAL FEED START/STOP, the FLOOR
SPEED, and the ENGINE THROTTLE. It also contains an EMERGENCY STOP button that acti-
vates the Murphy shutdown system on the engine.
If using the RRT, a certain start-up sequence must be followed to activate the remote. When using
the remote, start as follows:
1. Set the RRT ON/OFF switch, located on the control box, to the OFF position.
2. Set the switch, located on top of the RRT, to the OFF position.
3. Start the engine and allow to warm up as specified in the Starting Procedure on page 11.
4. Select the RADIO option from the PANEL OPERATE screen.
5. Set the RRT switch to the ON position.
To utilize the Material Feed Start/Stop feature of the RRT, Material START option must be selected
on the RADIO screen. This doesn't actually set the unit into operation, but does allow operation to
begin from the Radio Remote. The control box is the primary and overriding set of controls. When
either the Material STOP is selected on the screen or a loss of power to the safety circuit occurs
(i.e. the rear door on the feed roll housing is opened or a circuit breaker trips), the Material Feed
Start/Stop feature on the RRT is deactivated. This feature will remain inactive until the initial start is
once again made at the machine by pressing the START button.
The Material Increase/Decrease function on the RRT can be used to change the floor speed and
effectively adjust the output of mulch from the machine. Adjustments to the floor speed made from
the remote control will be shown on the Floor Speed display on the control box.
The Engine Increase/Decrease function on the RRT adjusts the throttle actuator on the engine.
For use of the engine rpm function, refer to Mulching with the Bark Blower on current page.
Pushing the large, red E-STOP button on the RRT activates the shutdown system. This will shut off
the engine, automatically return the engine throttle back to idle, and cut power to all the hydraulic
valve solenoids. To reset the safety system:
1. Turn and release the E-STOP button on the RRT
2. Start the engine
3. Allow to warm up as specified in the Starting Procedure on (page 11).
