    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 to stress safe operation. The first five pages of this manual are a summary of all the main safety aspects associated with this unit.

  • Page 8: Safety Summary Section

    Practice all other usual and customary safe working precautions; and 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.

    THE FINN HYDROSEEDER® AND HOW IT WORKS: The Finn HydroSeeder® will apply seed, fertilizer and/or lime, wood fiber mulch, or stabilizing materials in any prescribed or desired combination. The materials placed in the HydroSeeder® slurry-tank are mixed with water and kept in suspension by a dual agitation process, recirculation of slurry and mechanical agitation, thus forming a slurry that is pumped to the discharge assembly and directed onto the seed bed by the operator.

    Place hard wood spacers along the length of truck rails or use Finn Spring Mounting Kit (#011562) or equivalent. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Extension hoses for reaching remote areas are available in 50 ft. (15m) lengths. All connections are camlock quick operating fittings.

  • Page 15: Pre-Start Check

    6. Radio Remote Control. The radio remote control option provides the operator with pump on/off con- trol, throttle control, and engine shutdown at the end of the hose. With control of the engine throttle, the operator can precisely adjust the pump flow to whatever output the situation requires (i.e., for close-up work around buildings).

    WARNING: Never engage the slurry pump clutch when both valve handles are positioned as shown Figure 4. Both valves are closed and will result in extreme heat generation that will cause damage or bodily injury if the slurry pump is running. 1.

    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 2,700 to 2,800 RPM under load. 6. Start loading dry material, loading the lightest material first. Agitator control should be in full reverse for mixing.

  • Page 22: Prior To Application

    C. Fertilizer - Stand over hatch opening and drop the bag onto the bag cutter. Grasp both ends of the bag and dump material. D. All other additives - Consult with manufacturer for proper loading technique. 7. When all materials are loaded and in suspension, and the tank is full, move the agitator to neutral then full speed forward to insure all material is mixed.

    APPLICATION OF SLURRY: I. GENERAL APPLICATION TECHNIQUES DANGER: Do not spray toward power lines, transformers or other high voltage con- ductors. CAUTION: The driver of the carrying vehicle should remain alert for hazards to the operator, such as low power lines, hanging branches, etc. Driver should never start or stop abruptly.

  • Page 24: Pump Take-Off System Or Hose Reel W/Remote Valve

    A. PUMP TAKE OFF SYSTEM OR HOSE REEL WITH REMOTE VALVE: 1. Open recirculation valve and close discharge valve and close remote valve at the end of the hose. 2. Engage clutch. When stream is flowing freely through the recirculation line, open the pump take off valve.

  • Page 25: Hose Work W/Radio Remote

    C. HOSE WORK WITH RADIO REMOTE: 1. Begin with the engine around 1/4 throttle (1,400 RPM). 2. Close recirculation valve. If using an extension hose connected to the discharge boom, open the dis- charge valve. If using the hose reel, close the discharge valve and open the pump take off valve to the hose reel.

  • Page 26: Troubleshooting Your Hydroseeder

    6. Move the throttle to approximately 1/2 engine speed. 7. Engage the clutch, and move the throttle to full engine speed. A stream of water should be coming from the end of the recirculation pipe beside the hatch opening, as well as from the boom. 8.
  • Page 27 2. Plugging or clogging: DANGER: Turn off engine and disconnect battery cables before working on equip- ment. Serious injury or death can result from moving parts or high pres- sure spray. Sometimes when a stoppage occurs, you will not be able to find anything in the line. When this hap- pens, it means that the system became airbound instead of plugged.
