    SAFETY FIRST With any piece of equipment, new or used, the most important part of its operation is SAFETY! FINN Corporation encourages you and your employees to familiarize yourselves with your new equipment and stresses safe operation. The first five pages of this manual are a summary of the main safety aspects associated with this unit.

  • Page 8: Hydroseeder® Safety Summary Section

    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 hydraulic 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.

    ATTACHMENTS 1. Discharge Hoses: Discharge hoses are available in 50 ft (15.2 m) and 100 ft (30.5 m) lengths up to a total of 150 ft (45.7 m). Hose of a greater length may adversely affect the discharge distance and the discharge time of the HydroSeeder®. All connections are cam- lock, quick-operating fittings, including the connection to the end of the discharge piping.
  • Page 15 (see Figure 1, page 9): 1. Turn thumb nut clockwise until stem rises to maximum height. 2. Remove cap and fill cap with sodium- (water soluble) based grease (FINN part number 000698). Do not use lithium-based (chassis lube) grease. 3. Replace cap.

  • Page 16: Valve Operation

    VALVE OPERATION A. THREE-VALVE OPERATION (BASE UNIT) The base HydroSeeder® is equipped with three independently operated ball valves to control slur- ry flow. See Figure 2 below. The first valve is the recirculation valve. An open recirculation valve allows flow back into the tank. The second valve is the pump discharge valve. An open pump dis- charge valve allows slurry to flow through the discharge hose.

  • Page 17: Valve Operation (Platform/Boom Option)

    B. VALVE OPERATION (PLATFORM/BOOM OPTION) The platform option is equipped with two independently operated ball valves to control slurry flow. See Figure 3 below. With the platform option, discharge of the slurry is accomplished two different ways; either through the discharge boom or through a discharge hose that is coupled to the end of the discharge boom.
