D. Open throttle to approximately 1/2 to 3/4 full.
E. Engage (turn on) clutch.
F. When discharge stream is clear, open recirculation valve and close discharge valve.
After recirculation stream is clear, disengage (turn off) clutch.
G. Replace coupler gasket in the remote valve coupler (or in boom on the platform
option).
4. Continue filling tank with water.
5. Open throttle to full.
6. Start loading dry material, loading the lightest material first. Agitator control should be in full
REVERSE for mixing.
DANGER
Keep hands and arms away from tank interior and agitator. Failure to comply WILL result in
serious personal injury or death.
A. Seed – Cut open the seed bag and dump contents into slurry tank. (When using
inoculant, add it in the tank along with the seed.) When using quick-swelling seeds,
load them just prior to application.
WARNING
Hydraulic system will overheat if agitator shaft is jammed for extended period. This will
damage hydraulic oil and system components. Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury. Failure to comply could also result in product or property damage.
B. Fiber mulch – Empty the entire bag in or cut bag open and drop in the sections of
fiber. The amount of mulch to be used should be loaded by the time the water level
is at 3/4 full. If agitator stalls, or a high pitch squeal comes from the hydraulic sytem,
reverse agitation to forward for a moment to clear the obstruction, then return agita-
tion to reverse.
C. Fertilizer – Cut the fertilizer bag and dump contents into slurry tank.
D. All other additives – Consult with manufacturer for proper loading technique.
7. When all materials are loaded and in suspension, and the tank is full, move agitator to the
NEUTRAL position, then full speed FORWARD to ensure all material is mixed. It may be
necessary to change the agitator direction more than once to ensure a thorough mixture.
8. After material is thoroughly mixed, slow agitator in forward direction to 1/2 to 3/4 speed or
enough to create movement in all of the corners of the tank. Do not over-agitate the slurry.
Always discharge material with the agitator control in the FORWARD position.
9. Close the hatch lid on the slurry tank.
NOTE:
The slurry should not be recirculated for more than 15 minutes prior
to discharge to reduce wear and keep the seed from swelling. If
foaming occurs, reduce agitator speed.
