SAFETY FIRST
With any piece of equipment, new or used, the most important part of its operation is SAFETY!
FINN Corporation encourages you and your employees to familiarize yourselves with your new
equipment and stresses safe operation. Consult the operations manual and the truck manual.
The symbols below are used to call attention to safety procedures.
Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury.
Notice indicates important information, that if not followed, MAY
cause damage to equipment.
NOTE: This is helpful information.
MOUNTING THE MATERIAL BLOWER
A complete mounting kit is provided with the unit, but the mounting kit is shipped loose.
Before selecting a chassis for the Material Blower, carefully review this manual and consider the
following:
A. Never exceed either the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) or the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) for the chassis.
B. Install the Material Blower only onto a vehicle with cab-to-axle dimension sufficient to fully
support the Material Blower frame length.
C. Position the Material Blower such that the required clearance zones are maintained.
Once the proper carrier has been selected, the blower must be securely mounted onto it.
The FINN Material Blower should be mounted by a qualified truck body
installer. Failure to comply could result in personal injury. Failure to
comply could also result in product or property damage.
Install/Mount the FINN Material Blower in compliance with the vehicle
ratings, machine mounting requirements and applicable laws. Failure
to do so could result in personal or property damage.
The mounting of the blower to the truck must allow for tire clearance
as well as frame twist.
Follow mounting instructions given in the Truck Mounting / Loading Information section. Consult
truck manufacturer for proper truck sizing and mounting recommendations. If mounting conditions
require deviation from these instructions, consult the factory.
