CAUTION
Your FINN HydroSeeder® should be mounted by a qualified truck body installer. Failure to
comply could result in minor to moderate personal injury. Failure to comply could also result in
product or property damage.
NOTICE
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 (number 011562) or
equivalent. Also, two spring kits are required for the TITAN400.
ATTACHMENTS
1. Hose Reel: The live hose reel will mount on the HydroSeeder
®
or on the truck frame. The 200 ft
(61 m) capacity hydraulic rewind reel will wind up and store empty hose. A pivoting feature
provides three locking positions, enabling curbside, 45 degree, and rear hose discharge. The
entire hose reel is protected by a UV-protective canopy.
2. Hardened Pump Parts: Pump casing, impeller, and suction cover are treated with special ma-
terial designed to resist wear.
3. Rear Spray Bar: The spray bar option is not designed for slurry application but for the disper-
sion of liquids for dust control, watering, feeding and washing applications. Rear spray bar is
arranged so that operation is remotely controlled from the truck cab.
4. Radio Remote: The Remtron Remote is a Radio Frequency (RF) control system, designed to
provide the machine operator with the ability to remotely operate equipment. The remote con-
trol system consists of two major modules: The transmitter (see Fig. 3) and the receiver. (see
Fig.4) The transmitter is designed with rocker switches for PUMP ON/OFF and THROTTLE
UP, THROTTLE DOWN (Decrease), and a red STOP button that kills the engine. With control
of the engine throttle, the operator can precisely adjust the pump flow to whatever output the
situation requires (i.e., for close-up work around buildings). The ability to remotely shut off the
pump allows the operator to close the recirculation valve for increased performance during
hose work. Carrying the remote valve at the end of the hose becomes unnecessary.
