APPLICATION OF SLURRY (CONTINUED)
I. GENERAL APPLICATION TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)
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) the slurry
pump clutch. If the shutdown 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) the slurry pump clutch to continue the 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, with the engine at low idle, engage (turn on) the slurry pump
clutch. At this time, should the operator want to stop spraying for a short period, disengage
(turn off) the slurry pump clutch; then engage (turn on) the slurry pump clutch to continue
spraying.
Do NOT engage the slurry pump clutch above 1000 RPMs or damage
to the slurry pump clutch will occur.
2. When the tank is empty, or when discontinuing discharge for an extended period of time,
disengage (turn off) the slurry pump 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 de-water the mulch, causing 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. With the engine at low idle, engage (turn on) the slurry pump clutch. When stream is
flowing freely through recirculation line, open pump take off valve.
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 fi rmly
positioned and has fi rm control of hose. Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate
personal injury. Failure to comply could also result in product or property damage.
3. With the engine at 3/4 speed, open remote valve at the end of the hose to discharge load.
4. When finished spraying, close remote valve, disengage (turn off) the slurry pump clutch,
and stop 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.
