APPLICATION OF SLURRY:
I. GENERAL APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
DANGER
Do not spray toward power lines, transformers or other high voltage conductors. Failure to
comply WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
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. Failure to com-
ply could result in minor personal injury, or product or property damage.
1. Determine which nozzle would best suit the application needs according to the DISCHARGE
NOZZLE SELECTION table on page 16.
2. Application of seed, fertilizer, and lime: Elevate discharge nozzle no less than 10 degrees
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 pockmarks which will 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 con-
trolled by engine speed and nozzle selection.
CAUTION
Do NOT patially close the valve to control the distance. Failure to comply could result in
minor personal injury, or product or property damage.
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, disengage (turn off) clutch. If shut-
down is going to be for an extended period of time (i.e., lunch break, reloading, etc.), close the
valves to prevent slurry from dewatering. Re-engage (turn on) 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 (turn on) clutch. At this time, should the operator want to stop
spraying for a short period, disengage (turn off) clutch; then re-engage (turn on) to continue
spraying.
2. When the tank is empty, or when discontinuing discharge for an extended period of time, dis-
engage (turn on) 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 plug-
ging. Move the agitator control to the NEUTRAL position.
