MOUNTING THE HYDROSEEDER
®
When mounting the HydroSeeder
®
to a truck, one of the following methods of mounting is
acceptable:
1. Bolt the HydroSeeder
®
directly to the truck bed. Installer must ensure that the bed, as
well as the bed-to-truck and HydroSeeder
®
-to-bed connections are adequate for the
maximum weights that are shown in the CARRIER VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS section.
2. Mount the HydroSeeder
®
to the truck frame. The T75 Skid HydroSeeder
®
is provided
with an adapter frame that also allows the unit to be mounted directly to the truck's
34 in. (86.4 cm) wide frame using U-bolts.
3. Place chains over the HydroSeeder
®
and around truck bed and secure with binders.
Secure the HydroSeeder
®
with blocks tied to the truck bed.
DO NOT lift this machine by the lift rings with water and / or material
in the tank. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury
or death and equipment damage.
When using a truck with a tilt bed, make sure to chain the truck bed
down to prevent the bed from being accidentally hoisted. Failure to
comply could result in minor or moderate personal injury. Failure to comply could also result
in product or property damage.
Mounting the HydroSeeder
®
to the truck must allow for tire clearance
and frame twist. Place hard wood spacers along the length of truck
rails or use FINN spring mounting kit (part number 011562) or equivalent.
ATTACHMENTS
1. Discharge Hoses: Discharge hoses are available in 50 ft. (15.2 m) and 100 ft. (30.5 m)
lengths up to a total of 150 ft. (45.7 m). Hose of a greater length may adversely affect
the discharge distance and the discharge time of the HydroSeeder
®
. All connections are
camlock, quick-operating fittings, including the connection at the end of the discharge
piping. A nozzle is connected to the remote discharge valve which is connected to the
working end of the discharge hose. Once everything is connected, the HydroSeeder
®
is ready to operate. Flow through the hose and the nozzle is controlled by the remote
discharge valve. When using this valve, the recirculation valve on the HydroSeeder
®
MUST BE OPEN to allow excess material flow back into the tank (see Figure 2).
The recirculation valve must be open when using a remote valve.
Failure to comply will result in death or serious injury.
2. Operator’s Platform: The Operator's Platform includes a discharge boom, guard rails,
ladder, and all controls necessary to operate the unit (throttle, slurry pump clutch control,
signal horn, hydraulics and agitator control).
3. Hose Reel: The live hose reel mounts on top of the unit. The 150 ft. (45.7 m) capacity
electric rewind reel will wind up and store empty hose. It is wired to the unit's battery.
4. Radio Remote Control: A radio remote control is available that allows the operator to
control material flow by turning the slurry pump clutch off and on from the end of the
discharge hose.
