WEEKLY OR EVERY 40 HOURS OF OPERATING TIME:
1. Clean the air cleaner following the instructions in the engine operator’s manual.
2. Lubricate all the points on the HydroSeeder
®
as outlined in the daily maintenance section and, in
addition, lubricate the four grease fittings on the clutch/pump.
3. Check the level in the hydraulic oil reservoir - maintain level at sight gauge.
4. Check the clutch adjustment to insure that it “snaps” in and out of engagement. Adjust the clutch
with the engine off.
5. Check the anti-freeze in the radiator.
6. Inspect the slurry-tank for build up of residue in the suction area and clear if necessary.
7. Check and clean engine radiator. Flush with clear low pressure water and blow dry with compressed
air. Do NOT use high pressure water spray.
SEASONAL AND WINTER STORAGE MAINTENANCE:
1. Drain the slurry tank of all water prior to storage and leave the drain plug disconnected.
2. Park unit in suitable location and chock wheels to prevent inadvertent movement.
3. If possible cover machine with tarp or park inside of an enclosure.
4. Store the HydroSeeder
®
with all slurry valve handles in the open position. To prevent damage from
freezing, it is advisable to remove all slurry valves and store in a heated area.
5. Pour one quart of mineral oil or environmentally safe lubricant into the pump housing and spin
pump by hand to prevent rust in the pump. Remove drain plug.
6. Chip and steel brush any interior rust spots in the slurry-tank and touch up with paint. See numbers
2 and 3 in Maintenance Section (IV) of the Safety Summary Section page 4.
7. Lubricate all fittings.
8. Check anti-freeze in radiator.

11. Disconnect battery cables. In cold weather, remove battery and store in safe warm place.
12. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
The hydraulic system on your Finn HydroSeeder
®
is designed to give trouble free service, if maintained.
The most important areas of maintenance are the hydraulic oil and filtration. The reservoir holds 19
gallons of Mobil DTE25 or Gulf 46AW or Shell-Tellus 46 hydraulic oil or equivalent. The hydraulic oil
should be replaced per the lubrication schedule or if the oil becomes milky or it gives off a burnt odor.
The hydraulic oil filter must be replaced on schedule with a 10 micron filter - Finn part #021618. The
hydraulic system relief is factory set at 2000 psi.
