Finn HydroSeeder T120, Parts And Operator'S Manual

Page: 24 / 79

CAUTION: To decrease pump wear and increase discharge distance, it
may now be desirable to close the recirculation valve.
However, the recirculation valve must be open BEFORE
closing the discharge valve if the application of slurry is to be
interrupted. Extreme heat, which will cause damage and/or
bodily injury, will occur if both valves are closed.
16. Apply the slurry (see “Application of Slurry” pages 17-18).
17. If another load is to be applied, start again at step “1”. If finished, follow the clean-up procedure.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
