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 posi-
tion, 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.
A. PUMP TAKE OFF SYSTEM OR HOSE REEL WITH REMOTE VALVE :
1. Open recirculation valve and close discharge valve and close remote valve at the end of the hose.
2. Engage clutch. When stream is flowing freely through the recirculation line, open the pump take off
valve.
CAUTION: The high pressure on the hose can exert strong forces causing
hose operator to lose control of hose or footing. The hose will
require additional holders on slopes. Open the pump take off
valve and the remote valve slowly and only after the hose operator
is firmly positioned and has firm control of hose.
3. With the engine at 3/4 speed, open the remote valve at the end of the hose to discharge the load.
4. When finished spraying, close the remote valve, disengage the clutch, and stop the engine. If using
fiber mulch, retain as much water as possible in the hose by elevating the ends or by coupling the ends
together.
5. If another load is to be done, see reloading procedure on page 18. If finished for the day, follow the clean
up procedure and flush out the hose.
DANGER: The recirculation valve must be open when using a remote valve.
If not open, extreme heat which will cause damage and/or bodily
injury will occur.
