ATTACHMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. For lower-pressure applications, or for close-up work, i.e. around buildings, the remote valve
attachment can be used. The attachment includes semi-rigid hose with quick-disconnect
fittings along with a handheld valve which fits the end of the hose and accepts the standard
nozzle assemblies. The hose is connected to the outlet on the discharge pipe above the
pump. The machine is run at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and material is applied where desired.
The recirculation valve must be open when using a remote valve.
Failure to comply WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
3. Hose Reel: The live hose reel will mount on the HydroSeeder
®
or on the truck frame.
The 200-ft (61 m) capacity hydraulic-rewind reel will wind up and store empty hose. A
pivoting feature provides three locking positions, enabling curb-side, 45 degree, and rear
hose discharge. It is hydraulically connected to the HydroSeeder
®
. The entire hose reel is
protected by a UV-protective canopy.
4. Hardened Pump Parts: Pump casing, impeller, and suction cover are treated with special
material designed to resist wear.
5. Rear Spray Bar: The spray bar option is not designed for slurry application but for the
dispersion of liquids for dust control, watering, feeding, and washing applications. Rear spray
bar is arranged so that operation is remotely controlled from the truck cab.
6. Remote Transmitter: The Remote Transmitter option provides the operator with pump on/
off control, 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). The ability to remotely shut off the
pump allows the operator to close the recirculation valve for increased performance during
hose work. Carrying the remote valve at the end of the hose becomes unnecessary.
NOTE: For remote pump on/off control, clutch cylinder must be
connected to an air supply.
7. 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 discharge plumbing should be purged after every load. The air flush
system provides a quick and easy means of purging without the need to acquire a flush tank
and an additional water supply.
PRE-START CHECK
The following safety checks should be made to ensure operator safety:
1. Check condition of all mounting hardware that secures the HydroSeeder
®
to the truck frame.
2. Make sure bag cutter is in place and secure.
3. Inspect that all railings are in place and secure.
4. Ensure that all guards are in place.
5. With the ignition switch on, verify that the amber safety light under the operator’s
platform is flashing.
