SAFETY SUMMARY SECTION
It is important that all operators of this machine are familiar with all safety aspects covered in this section
and have read the entire Operator’s Manual before operating the machine. Always keep a copy of this manual
with the machine. It is the responsibility of the operator of the machine to fully understand this safety summary
section. Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices protect not only you but also the
people working with and around you. Keep in mind that this safety section is written for this type of machine only.
Practice all other usual and customary safe working precautions. Above all, remember that safety is up to you.
The FINN HydroSeeder® is designed to mix and apply water, seed, fertilizer, agricultural lime, and hydrau-
lic mulch to the prepared seedbed. The resultant slurry from mixing one or more of the above materials may
react, causing harmful or deadly gasses within the tank. Heat, evaporation, or extended emptying period can/will
accelerate the formation of these gasses. Please contact your supplier(s) of these slurry components regarding
their potential reactivity.
I. PRE-START EQUIPMENT CHECK (equipment
check is to be made with the engine off):
1. If you have a chassis-mount-
ed unit, check devices secur-
ing HydroSeeder® to the
truck or trailer frame.
2. I f
HydroSeeder® is a trailer unit, check hitch and hitch
bolts, lights, brakes, and all safety components.
3. Make sure loading hatch bag cutter is in place and
secure.

II. MACHINE OPERATION:
1. Always wear safety goggles
when operating the machine.
Other safety attire such
as safety shoes, ear pro-
tection, gloves, hard hats,
dust masks, etc. should be
worn as required by warning
decals on machine, opera-
tor’s manuals, or job site
requirements. Remove rings, watches, etc. Avoid
wearing loose-fitting clothing that may get caught in
rotating machinery.
2. Do not operate the machine
without all guards in place.
3. Do not load unit while in tran-
sit. Load only when parked
and unit is as level as pos-
sible. Take care not to drop
pens, lighters, etc. or pieces
of paper or plastic bags into
the tank as these objects might plug the slurry system.
Should any object be dropped into the tank, do NOT
reach into the tank to retrieve the foreign object. See
step 3 under IV. MAINTENANCE on page 4 before
allowing any personnel to enter the tank.
4. Make sure area to be sprayed is clear of all persons,
animals, etc.
5. The driver of the carrying or towing vehicle is respon-
sible for the safety of the operator(s) of the machine.
Make sure the driver is aware of and avoids all pos-
sible hazards to the operator(s) of the machine, such
as low tree limbs, low power lines, etc. Vehicles on
which equipment is mounted or towed must be stopped
and started gradually. Avoid abrupt starts or stops.
Never operate on a slope or a hill that may endanger
the driver and/or the operator(s). All personnel should
review and be familiar with stop/start signals between
the driver and operator(s) before going into operation.
