APPLICATION OF SLURRY:
I. General Application Techniques
DANGER: Do not spray toward power lines, transformers or other high
voltage conductors.
CAUTION: The driver of the carrying vehicle should remain alert for
hazards to the operator, such as low power lines, hanging
branches, etc. Driver should never start or stop abruptly.
1. Determine which nozzle would best suit the application needs according to the nozzle selection
chart on page 16.
2. Application of seed, fertilizer and lime: Elevate discharge nozzle no less than 10˚ above the area to
be sprayed, allowing the slurry to gently rain onto the seed bed.
3. Application of wood and paper fiber: Whenever possible aim the stream towards the ground to
create a surface with small pock marks which help get seed in contact with ground. Do not allow
the stream to blast away the surface of the seed bed.
4. Generally the most remote area of the seed bed should be covered first. Distance is controlled by
engine speed and nozzle selection. Do NOT partially close the valve to control the distance.
5. While moving along area to be seeded, the operator should move the nozzle back and forth in a slow,
even arc.
6. If application is to be interrupted for a short period of time, leave the valves open and disengage the
clutch. Re-engage the clutch to continue application.
7. It may be necessary to slow the agitator as the tank empties to reduce foaming.
II. DISCHARGE THROUGH THE BOOM:
1. Move the discharge valve handle to the open position, the recirculation valve handle to the closed
position, and engage the clutch. At this time, should the operator want to stop spraying for a short
period, disengage the clutch; then re-engage to continue spraying.
2. When the tank is empty, or when discontinuing discharge for an extended period of time, disengage
the clutch, then immediately move the discharge valve to the closed position, and idle the engine.
This will maintain moisture in the discharge piping and help prevent plugging. Move the agitator
control to the neutral position.
III. PROCEDURES WHEN USING HOSES:
Always pump clear water through the hose before pumping mulch. If the inside hose liner is dry, it will
dewater the mulch causing plugging.
