    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 famil- iarize 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 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.

  • Page 12: Operation & Maintenance

    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, also 2 spring kits are required for the TITAN400.
  • Page 15: Pre Start Check

    NOTE: For remote pump on/off control, the clutch cylinder must be connected to an air supply. 5. Air Flush System. The air flush option uses compressed air to purge any remaining mulch slurry from the HydroSeeder ® hose, the discharge boom and the recirculation piping. To maximize performance, all dis- charge plumbing should be purged after every load.
  • Page 16: Two Valve Operation

    TWO VALVE OPERATION: ® This HydroSeeder is equipped with two independently operated ball valves to control slurry flow. One is located in the recirculation line below the platform, and the other is located in the discharge line above the plat- form.
  • Page 17: Discharge Through Boom

    1. DISCHARGE THROUGH BOOM: Flow is through boom with no flow through closed recirculation valve (Figure 5). Flow through boom is con- trolled by engaging and disengaging slurry pump clutch. Do not use the discharge valve to control distance. Valve should be completely open. Control the spray volume and spray distance by adjusting the engine RPM. CLOSED POSITION FLOW...
  • Page 18: Starting Procedure

    STARTING PROCEDURE: CAUTION: See safety section of the manual (pages 2-4) before operating the ma- chine. Before starting, open the recirculation valve, close discharge valve and remote valve (if applicable), disengage clutch, and place the agitator control in the neutral position. 1.

    FACEPLATE The keypad on the PowerView is a capacitive touch sensing system. There are no mechanical switches to stick or wear out. It operates in extreme temperatures, with gloves, through ice, snow, mud, grease, etc. When the key is touched, feedback is provided by flashing the screen. The keys on the keypad perform the following functions (refer to Figure 7): Menu Key The Menu Key is used to either enter or exit the menu screens.

    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 2,550 to 2,600 RPM under load. 6. Start loading dry material, loading the lightest material first. Agitator control should be in full mix for mixing.
  • Page 26: 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 spray to insure all material is mixed.
  • Page 27: Application Of Slurry

    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 28: 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 29: 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 30 PROCEDURE: 1. With clutch disengaged and agitator control in neutral position, start engine and allow it to warm up (see starting procedure on page 14). 2. Start filling the unit with water. When water reaches the top of the agitator shaft move agitator con- trol to approximately 1/2 speed mix.
  • Page 31 A. As the slurry level drops in the tank, slow the lower agitators, and turn off the 3rd agitator. B. Add 2 or 3 ounces (4 to 6 cl) of an antifoaming agent to the tank. C. If you can determine which additive is causing the air problem, either add it last or not at all. D.
