MOUNTING THE HYDROSEEDER®
When mounting the HydroSeeder® to the truck, one of the following methods of mounting is accept-
able:
1. Bolt the HydroSeeder® directly to the truck bed. Installer must ensure that the bed-to-truck
and HydroSeeder®-to-bed connections are adequate for the maximum weights loaded that
are shown on page 6.
2. Mount the HydroSeeder® to the truck frame. The T30 HydroSeeder® is provided with an
adapter frame that also allows the unit to be mounted directly to the truck's 34 in.- (86.4 cm-)
wide frame, using U-bolts.
NOTICE
Mounting the HydroSeeder® to the truck must allow for tire clearance and frame twist. Place
hard wood spacers along the length of truck rails or use FINN spring-mounting kit (part
number 011562) or equivalent.
CAUTION
When using a truck with a tilt bed, be sure to chain the truck bed down to prevent the bed
from being accidentally hoisted. Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate per-
sonal injury. Failure to comply could also result in product or property damage.
WARNING
This machine is equipped with two lifting devices: forklift channels and a lift ring. Do NOT
lift unit with water or material in it. The lifting devices are designed to carry only the empty
weight of the machine, approximately 1,480 lbs (671 kgs). Failure to comply could result in
severe personal injury or death.
ATTACHMENTS (OPTIONAL)
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). Hoses of a greater length may adversely affect the discharge
distance and the discharge time of the HydroSeeder®. All connections are camlock quick-
operating fittings, including 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 operate. 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 2 on page 9.
DANGER
The recirculation valve must be open when using a remote valve. Failure to comply will
result in death or serious injury.
2. Hose Reel: The live hose reel mounts on top of the unit. The 100 ft- (30 m-) capacity electric
-rewind reel will wind up and store empty hose. It is wired to the unit's battery.
3. Air Gap Fill Pipe: A bolt on the air-gap fill pipe is available that mounts directly to the raised
hatch liner and swings into position when the hatch lid is open.
