This information can be obtained from the truck manufacturer or dealer.
Once the proper carrier has been selected, the HydroSeeder® must be securely mounted to it.
CAUTION:
Your FINN HydroSeeder® should be mounted by a qualified
truck body installer.
When mounting the HydroSeeder® to the truck, any one of the following methods of mounting is accept-
able:
A. Bolt the HydroSeeder® directly to the truck bed. Installer must insure that the bed to truck and
HydroSeeder® to bed connections are adequate for the full load weights that are shown on page 6.
B. Mount the HydroSeeder® to the truck frame. The T75 Skid HydroSeeder® is provided with an
adapter frame which also allows the unit to be mounted directly to the truck’s 34” wide frame using
U-Bolts.
IMPORTANT:
Mounting the HydroSeeder® to the truck must allow for tire
clearance as well as frame twist. Place hard wood spacers along
the length of truck rails or use Finn spring mounting kit (#011562)
or equivalent.
C. Place chains over the HydroSeeder® and around truck bed and secure with binders. Secure the
HydroSeeder® with blocks tied to the truck bed.
IMPORTANT:
When using a truck with a tilt bed be sure to chain the truck bed
down to prevent the bed from being accidentally hoisted.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Discharge hoses: Discharge hoses are available in 50 ft. (15 m) and 100 ft. (30 m) lengths up to a
total of 150 ft. (45 m). Hose of a greater length may adversely affect the discharge distance, and the
discharge time of the HydroSeeder®. All connections are camlock quick operating fittings, includ-
ing the connection to the end of the discharge piping. A nozzle is connected to the end of the hose
next to the remote discharge valve. Once the hose is connected, the HydroSeeder® is ready to oper-
ate. Flow through the hose and the nozzle is controlled by the remote discharge valve. When using
this valve, the recirculation valve on the HydroSeeder® MUST BE OPEN to allow flow at times
when the remote valve is closed. See Figure 1 on page 10.
DANGER:
The recirculation valve must be open when using a remote
valve. If valve is not open, extreme heat will occur resulting
in damage and/or bodily injury.
2. Radio Remote Control: A radio remote control is available that allows the operator to control mate-
rial flow by turning the clutch off and on from the end of the discharge hose.
