Page 19: Gasoline Powered Centrifugal Pump
M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Gasoline Powered Centrifugal Pump Care and maintenance of the engine and pump are covered in this manual and/or the manufacturer operator’s manuals supplied and should be read and understood. We suggest the following daily checks be carried out prior to using the system. - Page 20 M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Gasoline Powered Centrifugal Pump Fig.4 CAUTION TRAPPED FLUID MAY BE PRESENT and will spill out when piping, hoses, pump or filter shear are removed. CAUTION NEVER LEAVE LIQUID IN THE PUMP CASING, PIPING, OR HOSES during freezing weather conditions, as damage will result.
- Page 21 M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Gasoline Powered Centrifugal Pump Grease cup instructions (Fig.5) Fill the grease cup through the grease fitting with No. 2 lithium base grease until grease escapes from the relief hole. Turn the grease cup arm counterclockwise until it is at the top of the stem; this will release the spring to apply grease to the seal.
- Page 22 M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Gasoline Powered Centrifugal Pump Grease cup instructions (Fig.5a) GREASE CUP NEEDS TO BE CLEANED REGURALY The grease cup may not perform its function properly (lubricating the seal) if it is not routinely cleaned of old hard grease build-up. If the grease cup is always “topped up” instead of allowed to run to the full stroke of the plunger, the grease may dry out and build up inside of the cup and not allow the plunge to push to the full stroke.

Page 23: Filter Shear System
M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Filter / Shear System The filter / shear (Fig.6a) system on the M-300 is an integral part of the mixing system and to operate efficiently requires daily cleaning of the stainless steel internal filter /shear. The filter / shear system is a two- piece unit (Fig.6b) consisting of an outside housing and an internal filter / shear. - Page 24 M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Filter / Shear System continued On top of the filter / shear housing (Fig.7) are two outlets that have 1 1/2” NPT ball valves connected to them. One of the outlets (labeled) is connected to the internal jet gun inside of the reservoir tank (explained further on in this manual) and the other outlet (labeled) is to be used as a discharge for the fluid after it is mixed.

Page 25: Venturi Mixing Tee
M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Venturi Mixing Tee The Venturi Mixing Tee (Fig8a.) is the very heart of this system and requires very little maintenance. However M-300 parts may wear as a result of the application in time and require replacement. This wear will become evident, when the operator notices a reduction in the vacuum that helps pull in the dry product from the hopper. -
Page 26: Wash Wand
M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Wash Wand The M-300 is equipped with a pressurized wash wand (Fig.9a) for clearing obstructions and accumulation in the jetting tee. It is recommended that the jetting tee be cleaned with the wash wand after the introduction of material into the hopper after each batch. -
Page 27: Dry Hopper With Table & Hopper Valve
M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Dry Hopper with Table and Hopper Valve The Dry Hopper and Table (Fig.10) are used during the initial mixing of the dry product and fluid. The hopper and table require very little daily maintenance, however care should be used that this unit does not become overloaded. -
Page 28: Internal Tank Jet Gun
M-300G Description, Care and Maintenance Internal Tank Jet Gun The Internal Jet Gun (Fig.11a) is located inside the polyethylene plastic reservoir tank, and its function is to keep the slurry product in the tank moving.
