PRIOR TO APPLICATION
1. Operator(s) should familiarize themselves with the area to be seeded and develop a plan
to ensure uniform application.
2. Develop a plan for communication between operator and driver of the carrying or towing
vehicle to signal for start, stop, turn, etc., through the use of the signal horn.
3. Operator takes up position on the platform. From this point, application will be controlled
by the use of the clutch, valve, discharge assembly, and throttle.
DISCHARGE NOZZLE SELECTION
Nozzles are stored in the tool box. This HydroSeeder
®
is equipped with six nozzles – two long distance and
four fan nozzles. The smaller, long-distance nozzle
is generally better suited for seed, fertilizer, and/or
lime application, while the large, long-distance nozzle
is better for wood fiber mulch application. All of the
fan nozzles are generally suited for both types of
application.

APPLICATION OF SLURRY
I. GENERAL APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
Do not spray toward power lines, transformers or other
high voltage conductors. Failure to comply WILL result in
severe personal injury or death.
The driver of the carrying vehicle should remain alert for
hazards to the operator, such as low power lines, hanging
branches, etc. Driver should never start or stop abruptly. Failure to comply could result in
minor personal injury, or product or property damage.
1. Determine which nozzle would best suit the application needs according to the
DISCHARGE NOZZLE SELECTION table.
2. Application of seed, fertilizer, and lime: Elevate discharge nozzle no less than 10 degrees
above the area to be sprayed, allowing the slurry to gently rain onto the seed bed.
