TWO-VALVE OPERATION
This HydroSeeder
®
is equipped with two
independently operated ball valves to control
slurry flow. One is located in the recirculation line
below the platform, and the other is located in the
discharge line above the platform.
The valve handles should be positioned as shown
in Figures 4 through 6 for the particular application
required.
Never engage (turn on)
slurry pump clutch when
both valve handles are positioned as shown in
Figure 4. Both valves are closed and will result in
extreme heat generation. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury or death.
1. DISCHARGE THROUGH BOOM:
Flow is through the boom with no flow through the
closed recirculation valve (Figure 5). Flow through
the boom is started and stopped by engaging or
disengaging the slurry pump clutch. The operator
controls the spray volume and flow by adjusting the
engine's RPMs.
2. EXTENSION HOSE THROUGH BOOM:
Flow is through the boom with no flow through the
closed recirculation valve (Figure 5). Flow through
the extension hose is started and stopped by
engaging or disengaging the slurry pump clutch.
The operator controls the spray volume and flow by
adjusting the engine's RPMs.
Do not use remote valve in this application. Failure to comply WILL
result in severe personal injury or death.
NOTE:
Do not use the discharge valve to control distance. Valve should be
completely open. Control the spray volume and spray distance by
adjusting the engine RPM.
