LOADING PROCEDURE
Take care not to lose pens, lighters, etc. from shirt pockets, or drop
pieces of paper or plastic bags into the tank, as these might plug the
slurry system. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury. Failure to comply
could also result in product or property damage.
1. With the slurry pump clutch disengaged (turned off) and the agitator control lever in
the NEUTRAL position, start the engine and allow it to warm up for 3 to 5 minutes (see
STARTING PROCEDURE).
2. Start filling unit with water from one of the water sources as listed below. When water
reaches the top of agitator shaft, move agitator control lever to full REVERSE position.
Tank can be filled by using one of the sources of water as follows:
A. Water from any stream or pond using a fill transfer pump. When filling from a pond
or stream, be sure to use a suction strainer to filter out contaminants that could
damage the pump and unit.
B. Any pressure source, eg. fire hydrant. An optional air gap fill port is available for
this unit but it is necessary to consult with local authorities before using a water
main, in order to abide by all local ordinances.
