IMPORTANT: When the thumb nut has moved down to within ½” (1.25 cm) of touching the cap, reservice the automatic lubricator. 10. Check and clean the nozzles and hoses of any obstructions. 11. Check pump discharge, recirculation, and remote valve handles for free movement. T hu m b Nu t S te m C ap...
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 platform. The recirculation valve is open when the handle is in line with the valve ports and is closed when the handle is at a right angle to the valve ports.
Page 17
2. EXTENSION HOSE OR HOSE REEL THROUGH REMOTE PORT: Flow is through recirculation with no flow through closed discharge valve (Figure 3). Flow through extension hose is controlled by remote valve at end of hose. Open recirculation valve allows flow back into tank.
The following tables show loading versus coverage rates for the Finn T75. Table A shows rates for “one step” applications. The coverage area is determined by the fiber mulch capacity of the HydroSeeder®, and the rate at which it is applied.

TABLE A USING SEED, FERTILIZER AND MULCH Unit Amount of Material in Tank (pounds(kilograms)) Covrage Area Seed Fertilizer Mulch Sq. Ft. (Sq. m.) 69 (32) 80 (36) 300 (137) 8,712 (805) Above Table is based on 1500 pounds of mulch, 400 pounds of fertilizer and 345 pounds of seed (8 pounds/1000 square feet) per acre.
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 page 12).
C. Fertilizer - Cut the fertilizer bag and dump the contents into the slurry tank. 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 conductors. CAUTION: The driver of the carrying vehicle should remain alert for hazards to the operator, such as low power lines, hanging branches, etc.
3. With the engine at ¾ speed, open the remote valve at the end of the hose to discharge the load. 4. When finished spraying, close the remote valve, disengage (turn off) the clutch, and stop the engine. If using fiber mulch, retain as much water as possible in the hose by elevating the ends or by cou- pling the ends together.
Page 25
F. Disengage (turn off) the clutch, idle the engine, move discharge valve handle to discharge position, move agitator handle to neutral and turn off the engine. (Remember to replace the coupler gasket). G. Always remove the drain plug and allow the tank to drain. H.
The hydraulic oil filter must be replaced on schedule with a 10 micron filter - Finn part #021618. The hydraulic system relief is factory set at 2250 psi.

A. FACTORY-TOLERANCES. 1. To check pump tolerances loosen the two clamps on pump suction piping and remove inlet elbow. Through the pump suction hole, insert a feeler gauge between the pump impeller (3) and the suction cover (1). This measurement on a new pump is between .030-.045" (.762 -1.15 mm). B.
D. INSTALLING NEW SEAL ASSEMBLY (#4) (DO NOT UNWRAP THE NEW SEAL ASSEMBLY UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO INSTALL. ALL PARTS OF THE ASSEMBLY ARE PACKED IN SEQUENCE OF INSTALLATION.) 1. To replace seal assembly (4), perform above operations under cleaning and remove pump casing (5) by removing the four bolts (7B) holding casing and the casing bearing (7) to the pump frame (15).

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. To remedy this, see “Foaming”. Plugging can occur in any one of four places; the valve and recirculation nozzle, the discharge noz- zle, the pump area and the sump area.
