EQUIPMENT CHECK (CONTINUED)
When thumb nut has moved down to within 1/2 in. (1.25 cm) of
touching the cap, re-service the automatic pressure lubricator.
10. Check and clean the nozzles and hoses of any obstructions or foreign materials.
11. Check pump discharge, recirculation, and remote valve handles for free movement.
VALVE OPERATION
Never engage (turn on) slurry pump clutch when recirculation valve
and either the pump discharge or remote valve is closed. This would
create a situation where the pump is running with all slurry flow closed off, which will
result in extreme heat generation, causing damage and/or bodily injury. The recirculation
valve must always be open and material flowing back into the tank when using the remote
valve. A closed remote valve in conjunction with a closed or plugged recirculation valve
will cause extreme heat. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury. Failure
to comply could also result in property damage.
The HydroSeeder
®
is equipped with three independently operated ball valves to control slurry
flow (Figure 2). The first valve is the recirculation valve. An open recirculation valve allows
excess material flow back into the tank. The second valve is the pump discharge valve. An open
pump discharge valve allows slurry to flow through the discharge hose. The third valve, located
at the end of the discharge hose, is the remote valve. An open remote valve allows discharge of
the slurry onto the area being covered.
