OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL FOR THE
FINN T60 SERIES II HYDROSEEDER®
This manual gives you step by step instructions for the operation and maintenance of the Finn HydroSeeder®.
For best results and to insure longer life of the equipment, please follow the instructions carefully. For your
safety read the entire manual before operation of this unit.
DEFINITION OF HYDROSEEDING:
Hydroseeding is the process whereby seed, fertilizer and/or lime and fiber mulch (using water as a carrying
medium) are applied on the soil to establish vegetation.
THE FINN HYDROSEEDER® AND HOW IT WORKS:
The Finn HydroSeeder® will apply seed, fertilizer and/or lime, fiber mulch, or stabilizing materials in any
prescribed or desired combination. The materials placed in the HydroSeeder® slurry-tank are mixed with
water and kept in suspension by a dual agitation process, recirculation of slurry and mechanical agitation,
thus forming a slurry that is pumped to the discharge assembly and directed onto the seed bed by the opera-
tor. This equipment is designed to accomplish hydroseeding in one easy operation with maximum effi-
ciency.
