The installation is now complete and the machine is ready for filling, priming and testing.
Priming and Testing
When the installation is complete, the following steps need to be taken to set the unit up.
13.
Fill the Reservoir
– with 5 gallon of soluble fertilizer and water. Refer to fertilizer instructions for how
to mix the product. Only use with fertilizers supplied by
Sprinkler Warehouse
specifically for this machine
or the warranty will be voided.
14.
Priming
— to prime temporarily remove the injection pipe from the check valve or the pump will not be
able to prime. Turn the FERTILIZER switch to the ON position, and then press the PRIME button on the
machine until the liquid has passed through the pump and all the way through to the check valve. This will
take 20 – 40 seconds and only needs to be done once. Then fit injection pipe back onto the check valve.
15.
Testing
—to test the system simply run your irrigation system in its manual mode. This will immediately
start a fertilizer treatment cycle. The LOW FLUID / RUNNING light comes on solid to indicate that the cycle
is running, and as the sprinkler system cycles through each zone the Hydrofuse system will inject fertilizer
into the water stream. When the water flow stops the Hydrofuse system will stop injecting. The LOW FLUID
/ RUNNING light will remain on for 1 minute after the water stops flowing.
BE SURE TO CHECK FOR LEAKS AROUND PUMP AND AT THE INJECTION POINT AND FLOW SENSOR. TIGHTEN
FITTINGS IF ANY LEAKS OCCUR. CALL IF ISSUE PERSISTS.
