MAINTENANCE:
1. Before servicing the machine,
turn off engine and allow all
moving parts to stop. To pre-
vent accidental starting dis-
connect battery cables. Tag
the engine operating area
to show that the machine is
being serviced. Use lockout/
tagout procedure (OSHA 29
CFR 1910.147).
2. Certain hydroseeding amendments, when combined
with or without the addition of water or heat or the
element of time, may react causing harmful or deadly
gasses! Consult your material suppliers regarding
reactivity information. The slurry tank must be flushed
and drained after each day of operation.
3. Your slurry tank may be con-
sidered a confined space
by OSHA under 29 CFR
1910.146. Before entering
any confined space, your
company must develop a pro-
cedure for safe entry. Make
sure your company’s plan
meets all the requirements of
29 CFR 1910.146. Including the following:
a) Drain, flush and ventilate tank interior.
b) Turn off engine and disconnect battery cables
and perform lockout/tagout procedures. (29 CFR
1910.147)
c) Provide continuous ventilation or proper breathing
apparatus.
d) If tank must be entered, personnel entering the
tank must be tethered to a lifeline.
e) Provide stand-by individual outside of tank able to
communicate with person inside and able to haul
him out with lifeline if necessary.
4. Before loosening any clamps
or opening any valves, deter-
mine if material in the line is
hot by feeling the pipe. Do
NOT allow material to come
in contact with personnel.
Severe bodily injury could
result.
5. On trailer units perform general maintenance such as
checking the safety chains, hitch and hitch bolts, tires,
brakes. Repair or replace if worn or broken. Never
operate machine on improperly inflated or damaged
tires. Always use a safety cage or cable restraints when
re-inflating a repaired tire.
6. Radiator maintenance: Liquid cooling systems build
up pressure as the engine gets hot. Before removing
radiator cap, stop the engine and let the system cool.
Remove radiator cap only after the coolant is cool.
7. Battery maintenance: Lead-acid batteries contain sul-
furic acid, which damage eyes of skin on contact.
Always wear a face shield to avoid acid in the eyes.
If acid contacts the eyes, flush immediately with clean
water and get medical attention. Wear rubber gloves
and protective clothing to keep acid off skin. Lead acid
batteries produce flammable and explosive gasses.
Keep arcs, sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away.
8. Filling of fuel: Never fill the tank with the engine run-
ning, while smoking or when near an open flame.
Never smoke while handling fuel or working on the fuel
system. The fumes in an empty container are explo-
sive. Never cut or weld on fuel lines, tanks or contain-
ers. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from fueling
point before starting engine. Wipe off any spilled fuel
and let dry before starting engine.
NOTE: Be careful not to allow fuel, lubricant, hydrau-
lic fluid or cooling fluids to penetrate into
the ground or be discharged into the water
system. Collect all fluids and dispose of them
properly.
9. It is recommended that only authorized genuine FINN
replacement parts be used on the machine.
10. Do not use either cold start fluid if engine is equipped
with glow plug type preheater or other intake manifold
type preheater. It could cause an explosion or fire and
severe injury or death.
11. Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under pressure can pen-
etrate the skin or eyes and cause injury, blindness or
death. Pressure may build up in the hydraulic system;
use caution when removing the cap.
12. Make certain that all decals on the machine are main-
tained in good legible condition. Replacement decals
are available through Finn Corporation by specifying
part number shown in the lower right hand corner of
the decal. See page 5 for the current safety decals
mounted on the unit. See pages 80-81 in the Parts
Manual for the location and quantity of all decals on
this unit.
