hydrofuse Fertilizer Machine V1.3 Installation Manual Download Page 2

Introduction 

Hydrofuse is a new concept in fertilizing that works with existing irrigation (sprinkler)
systems and automatically dispenses fertilizers to all lawns
and gardens.

Hydrofuse is a quality patented product made exclusively in
the USA. It is designed to provide many years of reliable use
and requires only minimal maintenance.

The Hydrofuse system will work with virtually any automatic
commercial or residential irrigation system that uses a Timer
(also called “Controller” or “Clock”).

Precautionary Statements 

This system operates on 110 – 120 volts AC, and uses only 60
watts when running. The power supply is UL listed, and all internal voltages are 24 VAC.
However, never touch any wires or electrical parts when the Power is switched on.

The Hydrofuse system is designed to virtually use any water-soluble fertilizer. Fertilizers
must completely dissolve in the water. Any solids left in the liquid fertilizer supply container
may clog the pump or supply tubing which will void the warranty and  may cause
unpredictable results.

Please be sure to adhere to all Federal, State and local regulations when installing or using
Hydrofuse products.
