LOADING:
CAUTION: Take care not to lose pens, lighters, etc. from shirt pockets or
drop pieces of paper or plastic bags into the tank, as these
might plug the slurry system.
1. With clutch disengaged (off) and agitator control in the neutral position, start engine and allow it to
warm up (See "Starting Procedure" on page 10).
2. Start filling the unit with water. When water reaches the top of the agitator shaft, move agitator
control to full reverse 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 which could damage the pump and unit. Other
sources of water:
1. Any pressure source, eg. fire hydrant. This unit is supplied with an air gap fill port but it is necessary
to consult with local authorities before using water main in order to abide to all local ordinances.
2. Water tanker.
3. Piping System Cleanout Procedure (Purging Line):
A. Remove discharge nozzle and coupler gasket from the remote valve coupler at the end of the
discharge hose (or from boom on the platform option).
B. Aim discharge hose (or boom on the platform option) into an open area away from any per-
sons, obstructions or high voltage power lines.
C. Open discharge and remote valves and close recirculation valve.
D. Increase engine speed to approximately ½ to ¾.
E. Engage (turn on) the clutch.
F. When discharge stream is clear, open recirculation valve and close discharge valve. After
recirculation stream is clear disengage (turn off) the clutch.
G. Replace coupler gasket in the remote valve coupler (or in boom on the platform option).
4. Continue filling tank with water.
5. Increase engine speed to full RPM.
6. Start loading dry material, loading the lightest material first. Agitator control should be in full
reverse for mixing.
DANGER: Keep hands and arms away from the tank interior and agita-
tor.
A. Seed - Cut the seed bag and dump contents into the 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. Fiber mulch - Empty the entire bag in or cut bag 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 ¾ 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 agitation to reverse.
