LOADING AND MIXING BFM, FGM, SMM AND
OTHER HIGHLY VISCOUS SLURRIES
1. With the slurry pump clutch disengaged (turned off), agitator control in the NEUTRAL
position and hydraulic system off, start engine and allow it to warm up. See STARTING
PROCEDURE.
2. After engine has warmed up, turn on the hydraulics system by flipping the hydraulics
toggle switch to the
HYDRAULICS ON
position (all the way up). The switch will
automatically center itself, which is the
ON
position.
3. Start filling unit with water from one of the water sources as listed below. When water
reaches the top of agitator shaft, move agitator control to full REVERSE position.
Tank can be filled by using one of the sources of water as follows:
A. Water from any stream or pond using a fill pump. When filling from a pond or
stream, be sure to use a suction strainer to filter out contaminants that could
damage the pump and unit.
B. Any pressure source, e.g. fire hydrant. An optional air gap fill port is available for
this unit but it is necessary to consult with local authorities before using a water
main, in order to abide by all local ordinances.
C. Water tanker.
4. Piping System Cleanout Procedure:
A. Remove discharge nozzle and coupler gasket from the remote valve coupler at the
end of the discharge hose or from boom.
B. Aim discharge hose or boom into an open area away from any persons,
obstructions, or high voltage power lines.
C. Open discharge and remote valves and close recirculation valve.
D. With the engine at low idle, engage (turn on) the slurry pump clutch with a firm
snap. Do NOT allow clutch to slip.
Do NOT engage the slurry pump clutch above 1000 RPMs or damage
to the slurry pump clutch will occur.
E. Increase engine speed to approximately 1/2 to 3/4 throttle.
F. When discharge stream is clear, open recirculation valve and close discharge
valve. After recirculation stream is clear, disengage (turn off) the slurry pump
clutch.
