RPM for the cooling fan
to properly operate and
could lead to an
overheating condition
and shorter engine life.
Also, if you run your
engine repeatedly for
short periods of time
(less than 20 minutes), a
condition called “short
run condensation” is a
risk in air cooled
engines. It is
recommended that you
run your engine for at
least 45 to 60 minutes
periodically or change
the engine oil every 20
hours of operation.
WINTERIZATION
When the unit is put away
for winter, several
precautions are
recommended to prevent
damage due to freezing.
There is a plug at the
bottom of the pump
housing. Remove this
plug to drain any water
in the pump. Open all
ball valves on the unit
to a 45 degree angle to
allow water to drain
from the valves. Open
the gun valve and hang
the gun so it is pointed
down. Some people will
pop off the suction lines
at the pump end. This is
helpful, but not
required. An additional
step to prevent freezing
is to pour some rv
antifreeze into the pump
either into the
discharge outlet or
through the priming
plug located at the top
of the pump.
** CAUTION ** If the
unit is allowed to freeze
without being
winterized, the valves
and pump housing will
crack.
SEEDING LARGE
AREAS
There are a number of
options available for
those who have big open
areas to seed. They
include the Area Volume
Kit, The Stand Gun, and
the Platform Mounted
Turret Gun. The Area
Volume Kit requires no
installation. All three
of these options allow
for quick seeding at a
rate of approximately 60
G.P.M.
SEED & SPRAY
The seed and spray
option allows the hydro
seeding system to be used
both as a sprayer and a
hydro seeding system.
Connecting the proper
quick coupler
determines which system
is in operation. By using
the quick couplers
leading to the spray
discharge, the unit may
be used as a sprayer.
After hydro seeding, and
before spraying, it is
necessary to flush the
unit out thoroughly
before use. Should spray
power decrease, check
the strainer or the tip
of the gun and clean if
necessary. You may use
any turf type chemicals
in the sprayer. If the
sprayer is used to spray
herbicides, the unit
