LOADING (FOR WOOD FIBER MULCH, IF LIMING SEE PAGE 27)
CAUTION
Take care not to lose pens, lighters, etc. from shirt pockets or drop pieces of paper or plastic
bags into the tank. Failure to comply could result in minor to moderate personal injury. Failure
to comply could also result in product or property damage.
1. With clutch disengaged (turned off) and agitator control in the NEUTRAL position, start engine
and allow it to warm up. See STARTING PROCEDURE on page 12.
2. Start filling unit with water. When water reaches the top of the lower agitator shaft, move
agitator control to full MIX position.
Fill the tank with water from any stream or pond using a fill pump. When filling from a
pond or stream, be sure to use a suction strainer to filter out contaminants that could
damage the pump and unit. Other sources of water that can be used are as follows:
A. Any pressure source, eg. fire hydrant. This unit is supplied with a 6 in. (15.2
cm) air gap fill port. Consult with local authorities before using water main in
order to abide by all local ordinances.
B. Water tanker.
3. Piping System Cleanout Procedure (Purging Line):
A. Remove discharge nozzle and gasket from discharge boom.
B. Aim discharge boom assembly into an open area away from any persons, obstructions,
or high voltage power lines.
C. Open discharge valve and close recirculation valve.
D. Increase throttle position to approximately 1/2 to 3/4 full.
E. Engage (turn on) clutch with a firm snap. Do NOT allow clutch to slip.
F. When discharge stream is clear, flush hose on reel (if applicable), open recirculation
valve, and close discharge valve. After recirculation stream is clear, disengage (turn
off) clutch.
G. Replace nozzle and gasket in discharge boom.
4. Continue filling tank with water.
5. Increase engine speed to full RPM. Governed speed of the engine on the FINN HydroSeeder®
should be 2,550 to 2,600 RPM under load.
6. Start loading dry material, loading the lightest material first. Agitator control should be in full
MIX position for mixing.
A. Seed – Cut the seed bag open and dump contents into slurry tank. (When using
inoculant, add it in the tank along with the seed.) When using quick-swelling seeds,
load them just prior to application.
B. Wood Fiber Mulch – Empty the entire bag in, or cut bag open and drop in the sections
of fiber. The amount of mulch to be used should be loaded by the time the water level
is at 3/4 full. If agitator stalls or a high pitch squeal comes from the hydraulic system,
reverse agitation to FORWARD for a moment to clear the obstruction, then return agita-
tion to REVERSE.
CAUTION
Avoid jamming the agitator shaft for an extended period of time. Failure to comply could result
in minor to moderate personal injury. Failure to comply could also result in product or property
damage.
