FIG. 1 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Failure to follow the instructions, procedures and safety
precautions in this manual may increase the possibility of an
accident or injury.
The Husky PL490 Liquid manure lagoon pump is
designed to be driven with a farm tractor with a 1000 RPM
PTO .
The PL490 liquid manure lagoon pump takes between
150 and 160 HP tractor to operate efficiently at 1000 RPM. A
smaller tractor will operate the pump satisfactorily but will not
come up to full RPM. Putting a larger tractor on the pump will
not damage the pump.
4.02 HOW THE MACHINE
WORKS
and
The Husky Liquid Manure Lagoon Pump uses a P.T.O.
driven impeller or fan assembly to carry the manure in a pipe
from the pit or storage area to a manure spreader, remote storage
facility, truck or container of some description. A pipe attached
to the top of the pump called a discharge pipe carries the manure.
