as outlined in DAILY section of the
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE section and the LUBRICATION AND FLUIDS CHART
section. Additionally, lubricate the four grease fittings on the clutch/pump.

5. Inspect the slurry tank for build-up of residue in the suction area and clear if necessary.

fins will occur.

2. If possible, cover machine with tarp or park inside of an enclosure.
3. Store the HydroSeeder

damage from freezing, it is advisable to remove all slurry valves and store in a heated
area.
4. Pour 1 quart (0.95 L) 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.
5. Chip and steel brush any interior rust spots in the slurry-tank and touch up with paint.
