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 valve handles should be positioned as shown
in Figures 4 through 6 for the particular application
required.
Never engage (turn on) the
slurry pump clutch when both
valve handles are positioned as shown in Figure 4.
Both valves are closed and will result in extreme heat
generation. Failure to comply could result in severe
personal injury or death.
1. DISCHARGE THROUGH BOOM
Flow is through boom with no flow through closed
recirculation valve (Figure 5). Flow through boom is
controlled by engaging and disengaging slurry pump
clutch. Do not use the discharge valve to control
distance. Valve should be completely open. Control
the spray volume and spray distance by adjusting the
engine RPM.
2. EXTENSION HOSE THROUGH BOOM
Flow is through boom with no flow through closed
recirculation valve (Figure 5). Extension hose is
connected to boom and flow is controlled by engaging
and disengaging the pump clutch, or by controlling the
speed of the engine.
Do not use remote valve in
this application. Failure to
comply WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
NOTE: Do not use the discharge valve to control distance. Valve should be
completely open. Control the spray volume and spray distance by adjusting
the engine RPM.
