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 28: Venturi Mixing Tee

    M-300H933 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 29: Wash Wand

    M-300H933 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.
