LIMING WITH THE HYDROSEEDER
®
In using large concentrations of granular solids through the HydroSeeder
®
, it is advisable to keep
the slurry moving through the pump at all times. This keeps the solids from settling in the lines
and creating a stoppage. This unit was designed for the application of agricultural-grade lime or
FINN-HLL Liquid Lime.
LIMING PROCEDURE
1. With the slurry pump clutch disengaged (turned off), agitator control in the NEUTRAL
position and hydraulic system off, start engine and allow it to warm up. See STARTING
PROCEDURE.
2. 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.
3. Start filling unit with water. When water reaches to top of the agitator shaft, move agitator
control to approximately 1/2 speed REVERSE.
4. Open both the recirculation and discharge valves.
5. Remove discharge nozzle and gasket from discharge boom.
6. Aim discharge boom assembly into an open area away from any persons, obstructions, or
high voltage power lines.
7. With the engine at low idle, engage (turn on) the slurry pump clutch, and increase the
engine speed to full throttle. A stream of water should be coming from the end of the
recirculation pipe beside the hatch opening, as well as from the boom.
Do NOT engage the slurry pump clutch above 1000 RPMs or damage
to the slurry pump clutch will occur.
8. As soon as both streams are clear, close the discharge valve and make sure water is
being recirculated back to the tank.
9. Decrease engine throttle to 3/4 speed and increase agitator speed to full REVERSE.
Do not disengage (turn off) clutch.
10. Twenty (20) lbs (9 kg) of granular solids displaces approximately 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water.
When filling the tank with water, the volume of granular solids must be accounted.
Use this method to determine how many gallons will be displaced by the granular solids.
X (number of lbs of granular solids being used) = number of gallons displaced
20
For example:
If using the maximum recommended capacity of 2,500 lbs (1,134 kg) granular solids,
then 2,500 divided by 20 equals 125, so 125 gallons (473 L) would have to be subtracted
from the total tank capacity. If the total tank capacity is 940 gallons (3,558 L), then
940 gallons (3,558 L) minus 125 gallons (473 L) equals 815 gallons (3,085 L).
The tank can only be filled with 815 gallons (3,085 L) when using 2,500 lbs (1,134 kg) of
granular solids.
11. Fill the tank to the required capacity for the rate of granular solids to be applied.
12. Load the material. See LOADING SECTION, Steps 5 through 8.
