Section 2 - Rumble Hog Systems
Operators must always monitor the tank closely
during filling operations as the flow of water from
a hydrant will be greater than the flow capacity
of tank air vent. Overfilling the tank will cause
excessive pressure and damage the tank.
Only use potable water (clean enough to drink)
to increase the service life of the components in
the water system. Always flush the water source
for several minutes prior to filling the tank to help
ensure that no debris enters the system. Addition-
ally, the tank should be flushed frequently with
clean, fresh water to prevent the accumulation of
debris that may accidently enter the tank.
There is a 3” ball valve on the driver side bottom of
the tank that allows for quick draining of the tank
when flushing is required or complete draining for
system winterization. A large man-way hatch on
the top of the tank provides access to the interior
for inspection or to facilitate cleaning.

VENTILATION, HEAT EXHAUSTION, OR OTHER INJURIES
COMMON TO WORKING IN CONFINED SPACES WITH LIMITED
VENTILATION. NO ONE SHOULD ENTER THE FRESHWATER

Water Pump
The water pump is powered by the implement
hydraulic system that is activated by the trans-
mission auxiliary PTO. When activated, the pump
delivers a constant flow of water to the nozzles
that spray water on the cutting drum to cool the
cutter and help reduce dust. The pump should
Maintain a minimum pressure 50-60 PSI (2.8-4.1
Bar) on the water pressure gauge in the digital
control panel.
A supply valve and strainer are located between
the water tank and the pump. The valve controls
the flow of water. Always make sure there is at
least a half a tank of water and the supply valve
