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.
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.

29 CFR 1910.146. including the following: 9. It is recommended that only authorized genuine FINN Drain, flush and ventilate tank interior. replacement parts be used on the machine. Turn off engine and disconnect battery cables 10.
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.
TRUCK MOUNTING CALCULATIONS: (WB x FL) – (WB x FE) = G WB x (RE + HW -RL) = G G + C must be equal to or less than CA (WB x FE) + (G x HW) = FL (WB x RE) + HW x (WB –...
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.
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).
Turn thumb nut clockwise until stem rises to maximum height. SPRING b) Remove cap and fill cap with sodium (water soluble) base grease. PRESSURE (FINN part number 000698). Do not use lithium base (chassis DISK lube) grease. c) Replace cap.
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.
DANGER: Recirculation valve must be open and material flowing back into tank when using a remote valve. A closed or plugged recirculation line will cause extreme heat resulting in damage and/or bodily injury. STARTING PROCEDURE: CAUTION: See safety section of the manual (pages 2-4) before operating the machine.
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.
Stored Fault Codes The PowerView Display will store any fault codes GO TO 4-UP DISPLAY generated by the engine and display them along with ENGINE CONFGURATION STORED FAULT CODES a text description. To access these fault codes: ADJUST BACKLIGHT ADJUST CONTRAST 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 2,550 to 2,600 RPM under load. 6. Start loading dry material, loading the lightest material first. Agitator control should be in full reverse for mixing.
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.
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.
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.
5. Aim the discharge boom assembly into an open area away from any persons, obstructions or high volt- age power lines. 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.

D. Limit recirculation time as much as possible. E. Open pump suction bleed valve to exhaust air trapped in the pump or suction line. Close valve as soon as the air stops. 2. Plugging or clogging: DANGER: Turn off engine and disconnect battery cables before working on equip- ment.
Page 28
4. Obstruction in the sump area, which is located at the bottom of the tank on the inside where the suc- tion pipe is attached: A. The easiest way to clear the sump is to back flush through the discharge plumbing with the water supply hose.

® TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR HYDROSEEDER Problem Probable Causes Suggested Solutions PUMP CONT'D: Will not turn Frozen Warm housing to melt ice Jammed with fertilizer or lime Remove cover and clean interior Impeller rusted to suction cover plate Pull cover and remove rust CAUTION: Do not turn the shaft backwards with a pipe wrench - this will unscrew the impeller from the shaft.
12. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM: The hydraulic system on your Finn HydroSeeder® is designed to give trouble free service, if maintained. The most important areas of maintenance are the hydraulic oil and filtration. The reservoir holds 50 gallons of Mobil DTE-13M or equivalent hydraulic oil.
CLUMP MAINTENANCE SECTION: CAUTION: Clump maintenance to be done only while engine is not running, and bat- tery cables are disconnected. A. FACTORY-TOLERANCES 1. To check clump tolerances loosen the two clamps on the pump suction piping and remove the inlet elbow.

D. INSTALLING NEW SEAL ASSEMBLY (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 the seal assembly (9), perform the above operations under cleaning and remove pump casing (8) by removing the three bolts (39) holding the clump casing (8) to the clutch body (33).
