DEBRIS BLOWER KIT (Optional Extra)
The Debris Blower is a hydraulically powered, mechanically adjustable, ‘blower’ unit for the
clearance of hedge or grass cuttings from the highway during work with the machine.
The Debris Blower unit is attached to the machine by means of a bracket assembly fitted to the
base of the machines hydraulic tank onto which the Debris Blower is then bolted.
Debris Blower Bracket Fitting
Attach fixed bracket ‘ A ’ to the weldment provided on the base of the hydraulic tank and secure
tightly in position with the bolts and washers supplied in the kit. Slide support bracket ‘ B ’ into
bracket ‘ A ’ until the holes in each correspond – lock in position with pin and clip supplied. Hose
ring ‘ C ’ should be attached to a suitable available location in order to support the hydraulic
hoses and prevent them from coming into contact with the ground or fouling on any components
or obstructions –
in some cases the hose ring and its bolt can be attached to the fixed bracket
in place of one of those bolts providing that allows for suitable routing of the hydraulic hoses.
The Debris Blower Unit is then bolted in place on the back of support bracket ‘ B ’ – refer to
Instruction Supplement 227 (Part No. 41486.28) supplied with the Debris Blower for details of
attaching the unit and connection of the hydraulic hoses.
NOTE: Debris Blower fixing brackets may vary between machine models, left hand & right hand
machines, and for machines with a rear light bar fitted.
