STARTING PROCEDURE
See HYDROSEEDER
®
SAFETY SUMMARY SECTION on before
operating the machine. Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury. Failure to comply could also result in product or property damage.
Before starting, open recirculation valve, close discharge valve, disengage (turn off) slurry
pump clutch, place agitator control in the NEUTRAL position and turn the hydraulic switch to the
HYDRAULICS OFF
(down) position.
1. Turn key clockwise to the
ON
“ ” position. This will activate the control
panel and apply power to the engine ECU. Check the digital display of the
control panel for any fault codes.
If there are fault codes, determine and fix the fault problem before moving
on. If a fault condition exists, the engine ECU may prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Turn the key clockwise to the
START
“ ” position until the starter engages
and the engine starts.
3. Allow engine to warm up for 3 to 5 minutes before operation.
4. After engine has warmed up, turn on the hydraulics system by flipping the hydraulics
toggle switch to the
HYDRAULICS ON
position (all the way up). The switch will
automatically center itself, which is the
ON
position.
AREA COVERAGE – MATERIAL CAPACITY
To determine the coverage per load for any HydroSeeder
®
, three questions must be answered
prior to the application. First, is the job to be done a one-step process (which is when the seed,
fertilizer and mulch are applied proportionally per load) or a two-step process (which is when the
seed and fertilizer are applied alone and then covered by mulch as a second operation). Second,
at what rates (usually in pounds per 1,000 square feet, or pounds per acre) are the seeding
materials to be applied. Finally, what are the loading capacities of the HydroSeeder
®
?
Application rates vary for different geographic locations, but in general, seed is applied at
6 to 10 lbs (2.7 to 4.5 kgs) per 1,000 sq ft. Fertilizer is applied at a rate of approximately
400 lbs (181 kgs) per acre, and fiber mulch is applied at 1,500 to 2,000 lbs (680 to 907 kg) per
acre. (Note: There are 43,560 square feet in an acre). Local agronomists, agricultural extension
agents, or soil and water conservation officials should be contacted for more specific information
on application rates for a given area.
The following tables show loading versus coverage rates for the FINN T90. Table A shows
rates for one-step applications. The coverage area is determined by the fiber mulch capacity of
the HydroSeeder
®
and the rate at which it is applied. Table B shows the area coverage when
seeding only, where little or no mulch is applied. The coverage area is determined by the granular
solids capacity of the HydroSeeder
®
and the rate at which the solids are applied.
