6. With the engine still idling, engage the clutch slowly. Move the throttle to wide-open position and
let the governor control the engine speed.
CREW MEMBERS AND THEIR DUTIES:
1. The Operator controls the placement of the mulch on the seedbed by moving the discharge
assembly. He also controls the movement of the towing truck along the seedbed by using a
predetermined set of signals with the signal horn.
2. The Bale Handler operates from the truck bed and supplies the feeder with bales of mulch material,
cut side up.
3. The Bale Feeder cuts and disposes of the twine or wire; separates the bale in 1½” to 2” bats and
feeds those into the shredder box allowing about a 10” space between bats. Uniform feeding
assures fast separation and more uniform application.
4. The Truck Driver follows the directions of the operator for the movement of the towing truck.
The truck driver should be cautious in starting or stopping the truck so that the crew members
are not thrown off balance.
BLOWER DISCHARGE:
The B-70 Mulch Spreader should be towed to a point approximately 30 ft (9 m) from the area where the
mulch is to be applied. The operator elevates the discharge spout about 10º above the plain of the seedbed
so that the mulch floats onto the seedbed.
Do not drive the mulch into the seedbed with air pressure. The higher the tube is held, the more uniform
the application will be.
A full circle horizontal travel of the discharge spout allows the operator to vary the direction of the discharge
spout according to the prevailing winds. The tube should never be directed into the wind, towards any per-
sons, or at the towing vehicle. Use the engine throttle to control the distance of the mulch.
Except for the side feed model the shredder box cover (see page 16 for picture) has two positions. The lower
position directs material more quickly to the blower blade and provides higher capacity with bright straw.
The upper position is better for most hay materials since it retains the material in the shredder box longer
for more even distribution. The unit is shipped with the cover in the lower position.
Your B-70 Mulch Spreader has a beater roll on the extended blower shaft. Mounted on this beater roll are
four beater chains installed opposite each other. This arrangement will work well for most materials. If a
longer discharged fiber length is desired, remove two opposite chains.
CAUTION : Be sure beater chains are mounted opposite each other at all
times to avoid throwing the blower shaft out of balance.
If any obstruction stops the flow of mulch, immediately disengage clutch and shut off engine. Do not reach
into the beater box or attempt any adjustment until the engine and all rotating parts have stopped. When the
obstruction has been removed, the motor can be restarted and mulch application can continue.
DANGER : Do not reach into the beater box or attempt any adjustment
until the engine and all rotating parts have stopped.
