with water to a level 3”
to 5” below the bottom of
the bale buster fitting.
Add no more than 3 bales
of mulch. It is only
necessary to break it up
enough to fit through
the opening. Start the
engine. Close the valve
going to the gun and
close the valve going to
the side agitation. Open
the valve going to the
bale buster all the way.
Allow it to run for 30 to
60 seconds. If your unit
requires more mulch,
add another 2 to 3 bales.
When all the mulch has
been added and all the
clumps are broken up,
close the vale going to
the bale buster and open
the valve going to the
side agitation. THE BALE
BUSTER AND THE SIDE
AGITATION ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO RUN AT THE
SAME TIME, FOR PEAK
PERFORMANCE RUN ONE OR
THE OTHER.
The next step for units
with or without the bale
buster is to add the seed.
With the side agitation
running, pour the seed
into the tank.
Next add the fertilizer.
Turf style granular
fertilizers work well,
HOWEVER, they do
require a little caution.
Never add the fertilizer
before the mulch.
Always pour it in slowly.
Sometimes fertilizer
will clump in the bag and
form something that
looks like a rock. This
MUST be broken up before
you add it to the
machine. Liquid and
water soluble fertilizer
may be used and can be
added at any point in the
mixing cycle. If you are
doing an application
such as over seeding
using a light application
of mulch, you will need
to use a liquid or water
soluble fertilizer.
Next, TOP OFF THE TANK.
The best mixing action is
with the tank filled
clear to the top. Once
you have filled the unit,
you should see the
entire load rolling
rapidly and all
materials should blend
instantly. Leave the
material agitate
anywhere from 30
seconds to 4 minutes.
MIXING PARTIAL
LOADS
The best mixing action is
with a totally full tank.
Partial loads can be
mixed with little
difficulty.
MIXING LOADS LESS
THAN 1/3 FULL
When mixing small loads
you must fill the tank at
least 2” above the jets.
Break up the mulch as
fine as possible. Avoid
adding the fertilizer as
long as possible. Open
the agitation all the way
and allow the load to
mix for at least five
minutes. Begin spraying.
