OPERATION

POSITIONING AIRFLOW DAMPERS

The Brown Ride-on Blower-Vac utilizes two independently controlled airflow

dampers in the air discharge port. This allows the operator to more fully control

the direction of airflow in order to accommodate varying conditions. The damper

control switches are located on the left side of the operator control panel. The

upper switch controls the forward damper and the lower switch controls the

rear damper. The image below illustrates this control interface.

optimal positioning of Brown Ride-On Blower-Vac airflow dampers will

vary based on factors including: terrain; operator preference; nature of

material being moved; engine rpm; forward speed; and distance between

Brown Ride-On Blower-Vac and material being moved. Each operator will

need to experiment with different front and rear damper configurations in

order to achieve the most effective air pattern. The image below illustrates a

configuration that provides downward airflow from the front of the discharge

port and a more level airflow from the rear half of the port. A configuration

such as this may be beneficial for situations such as cleaning curbs, but optimal

positioning will vary per type of operation.
