Technical Description
The major functional elements of the PermaGreen Magnum C3C are described below
(refer to Figure 2).
•
The PermaGreen Magnum C3C Spreader Sprayer is built on a heavy gauge
stainless steel frame. A polyethylene hood protects the undercarriage components
from the dust and chemicals from the Spreader Sprayer and protects the operator
from moving parts.
•
The Spreader Sprayer operating, steering, and drive components are mounted on
the front section of the two-section machine. The rear section is a sulky that the
operator stands on during operation. The front brakes aid in controlling the
machine. The handlebars independently operate the steering brakes.
•
The Spreader Sprayer uses a pull-start, 200cc Honda Model GX200-HR2 engine
that has an integral 1:2 gear reduction transmission with an oil-bath, centrifugal
clutch. The heavy duty, hand-operated, centrifugal clutch engages when the
engine speed is increased above idle.
•
Normal engine idle speed is 1400 + 200/-150 rpm. When the engine is operating
at full throttle, the normal engine operating speed is 3450 rpm.
•
The transmission provides high and low forward speeds, neutral, and reverse. At
an engine speed of 3450 rpm, high gear provides a forward speed of 5 mph (8
km/h). Low gear provides a forward speed of 3.5 mph (5.6 km/h).
•
The interface between the engine/gearbox and transaxle is through a horizontal
drive shaft and a belt and pulley arrangement.
•
The interface between the gearbox and the spreader is through a jackshaft and
belt/pulley arrangement to a 1:5 ratio gearbox that results in a speed reduction to
approximately 411 rpm at both high speed and low speed operation.
•
The spreader is designed and manufactured by PermaGreen Supreme. The
spread pattern and spread rate are adjustable. A remotely operated deflector limits
the spread pattern to the left side only for edging. When using the deflector, a
remotely operated sliding plate closes the third hole to proportionally reduce the
product flow and balance the spreader pattern.
•
The hopper has been designed and built specifically for the Magnum C3C
Spreader Sprayer. Its capacity is 150 pounds (68 kilograms) of granulated
material. The hopper includes a shower cap that covers the hopper during rain.
