LPH800 TREATER
1. Prime the line going to the atomizer by turning the Atomizer switch to ON and
turn the SEED TREATMENT valve to PROCESS. Next turn the pump direction
switch to FORWARD and the Hand / OFF / AUTO switch to Hand. Liquid should
begin pumping up to the atomizer. After the line has been primed, turn the
HAND / OFF / AUTO switch to AUTO. Additional liquid may be pumped up into
the atomizer and into the drum to guarantee coverage of the first seed that passes
through the machine.
Do NOT pump liquid into the atomizing chamber when the
atomizer is OFF.
2. Position the SEED TREATMENT SOURCE valve to MIX TANK.
If you desire to check the total ounces used per batch of seed. Fill
the calibration tube with the amount needed for the batch of seed
(approximately 10 ounces extra to be safe). Then position the
SEED TREATMENT SOURCE valve to CALIBRATION TUBE.
3. Position conveyors, overhead hopper or seed box so the first seed coming into the
seed treater lands on the lower proximity switch which automatically turns on the
pump(s).
4. Turn the switches to ON for the Drum, Atomizer and any Conveyors being used.
With all motors turned to the ON position, you are ready for seed.
5. Begin sending seed into the seed treater. As soon as seed lands on the proximity
switch, the pump will turn on and the seed treating process will begin.
If the first seed is not well coated, the HAND / OFF / AUTO switch
can initially be turned to HAND before the seed comes into the treater.
Once the supply hopper is full, the switch can be turned to AUTO.
6. When all seed has passed through the atomizer, the pump will automatically shut
off.
