Don’t know anything about that unit other then my mechanic says they are junk.

I’d stick to a simplistic set up whereby you can diagnose and fix repair using local parts found at local hardware.

How are these units ?

4006 blower is 370 also prochem peak

4008 blower is in the 570 apex machines

The 460 I believe has the 4008 with a air-cooled engine, depends on the climate, there some guys using the 2500 HS a lot like the 460 same blower engine that love them.

I can answer no to all those questions so you are saying I should stay clear of it ?

Obviously not very popular. My local distributor had one on their floor a year ago when I bought my 570. They had the same machine for sale in 2015 when I bought my first 570. Might still have it.
