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 the hose to plug.
A. PUMP TAKE-OFF SYSTEM OR HOSE REEL WITH REMOTE VALVE:
1. Open recirculation valve, 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 the potential for the hose
operator to lose control of hose or footing. The hose will require additional hose holders when
this operation occurs 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. Failure to comply
could result in minor personal injury, or product or property damage.
3. With the engine running at approximately 2,000 RPM, 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 hose ends or
by coupling the hose ends together.
5. If another load is to be done, see RELOADING PROCEDURE on page 19. 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. Failure to comply will result
in serious injury or death.
B. EXTENSION HOSE SYSTEM - WITHOUT REMOTE VALVE:
1. Connect the extension hose into the end of the discharge boom.
2. A person controlling the end of the hose directs a second operator at the machine to control
the clutch and adjust the engine speed.
CAUTION
Since the extension hose will be seeing the full output of the pump with the recirculation
closed, the equipment operator and individual at the end of the hose should exercise extreme
care when operating the unit on high pressure. The high pressure on the hose can exert strong
forces, causing potential for the hose operator to lose control of hose or footing. The hose
will require additional hose holders when operation occurs on slopes. Engage the clutch
only after the hose operator is firmly positioned and has firm control of hose. Failure to comply
could result in minor personal injury, or product or property damage.
