B. EXTENSION HOSE SYSTEM - WITHOUT REMOTE VALVE:
1. Connect the extension hose into the end of the discharge boom.
2. A person controlling the end of the hose directs a second operator at the machine to control the clutch
and adjust the engine speed.
CAUTION:
Since the extension hose will be seeing the full output of the pump
with the recirculation closed, the equipment operator and indi
-
vidual at the end of the hose should exercise extreme care when
operating unit on high pressure. The high pressure on the hose
can exert strong forces causing hose operator to lose control
of hose or footing. The hose will require additional holders on
slopes. Engage the clutch only after the hose operator is firmly
positioned and has firm control of hose.
3. When hose operator is ready, signal the second operator to engage clutch and slowly increase the engine
RPM until the desired discharge pressure is reached.
4. When finished spraying, disengage the clutch, stop the engine, and close the discharge valve. If using
fiber mulch, retain as much water as possible in the hose by elevating the ends or by coupling the ends
together.
5. If another load is to be done, see reloading procedure below. If finished for the day, follow clean up
procedure and flush out the hose.
RELOADING PROCEDURE:
1. Start at step 2 in loading procedure on page 14.
2. After last load of the day refer to the cleaning and maintenance section of the manual on pages 20-21.
LIMING WITH THE HYDROSEEDER
®
:
In using large concentrations of granular solids through the HydroSeeder®, it is advisable to keep the slurry
moving through the pump at all times. This keeps the solids from settling in the lines, and creating a stoppage.
This unit was designed for the application of agricultural grade lime only.
PROCEDURE:
1. With clutch disengaged and agitator control in neutral position, start engine and allow it to warm up (see
starting procedure on page 12)
2. Start filling the unit with water. When water reaches the top of the agitator shaft move agitator control
to approximately 1/2 speed reverse.
3. Open both the recirculation and discharge valves.
4. Remove the discharge nozzle and gasket from the discharge boom.
5. Aim the discharge boom assembly into an open area away from any persons, obstructions or high voltage
power lines.
6. Move the throttle to approximately 1/2 engine speed.
