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 con-
trol 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.
