your safety, read the entire manual before operation of this unit.
THE FINN MTS AND HOW IT WORKS:
The Material Transfer System (MTS) is an apparatus for conveying and discharging a variety of bulk
materials. Material can be loaded into the hopper of the MTS and then delivered to the job site where
the material can either be quick-dumped from the rear of the unit onto the ground, or the material can
be discharged out either side of a belt conveyor at the front of the unit. This is achieved via a hydrau-
lically-driven rubber belt at the bottom of the hopper that dispenses material into a wheel barrow or
other transport device. The material flow can be controlled through the variable-speed setting on the
hydraulic valve
(
See Figure 1
)
. The front conveyor belt is controlled by a control box located on either
side of the unit.
Bulk material that is to be discharged from the side conveyors falls into two main categories. Either
the material is free-flowing, like sand, gravel, dirt, etc., or the material is binding, like bark mulch. The
material type determines how fast the main floor should move. All material that is discharged onto
the side conveyor must travel forward on the main floor. On free-flowing material, once the material
reaches the end of the main floor, it simply falls off the main floor onto the side conveyor for discharge
out either side. The main floor needs to be set on a lower speed setting for optimal output. When
dealing with binding material, this material will fill the front slope wall and be metered off the bottom of
the pile onto the side conveyor. This requires the main floor to be at a higher factory setting. When
discharging from the side conveyor, the main floor will move forward, as long as the side conveyor is
moving, to keep the slope wall full. When dealing with a free-flowing material, adjust the main floor
forward control knob in 1-1/4 counterclockwise turns to speed up, then, clockwise to slow down. (See
Figures 1 and 2).
The MTS also comes standard with a leaf vacuum that is integrated into the hydraulic system and
into the main hopper. The leaf vacuum comes standard with ten feet of 10-in.-suction hose, and is
equipped with a handle and suction nozzle. The vacuumed leaves are collected into the main hopper
via a hose. The tarp must be extended over the hopper during the vacuum process to contain the
leaves.
