PRIOR TO APPLICATION:
1. Operator should familiarize self with area to be seeded and develop a plan to insure uniform applica-
tion.
2. Develop a plan for communication between operator and driver of the carrying or towing vehicle to sig-
nal for start, stop, turn, etc. through the use of the signal horn.
3. Operator takes up position on the platform. From this point application will be controlled by the use of
the clutch, valve, discharge assembly and throttle.
DISCHARGE NOzzLE SELECTION:
Nozzles are stored in the tool box. This HydroSeeder
®
is equipped with 4 nozzles - two long distance and two
ribbon fan nozzles. The smaller long distance nozzle is generally better suited for seed, fertilizer and/or lime
application while the large long distance nozzle is better for wood fiber mulch application. Both of the ribbon
fan nozzles are generally suited for both types of application.
APPLICATION OF SLURRY:
I. GENERAL APPLICATION TECHNIqUES
DANGER: Do not spray toward power lines, transformers or other high volt
-
age 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
above.
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.
