When mounting the HydroSeeder® to the truck, any one of the following methods of mounting is accept-
able:
A. Bolt the HydroSeeder® directly to the truck bed. Installer must insure that the bed to truck and
HydroSeeder® to bed connections are adequate for the full load weights that are shown on page 6.
B. Mount the HydroSeeder® to the truck frame. The T30 HydroSeeder® is provided with an adapter
frame which also allows the unit to be mounted directly to the truck’s 34” wide frame using
U-Bolts.
IMPORTANT:
Mounting the HydroSeeder® to the truck must allow for tire
clearance as well as frame twist. Place hard wood spacers along
the length of truck rails or use Finn spring mounting kit (#011562)
or equivalent.
IMPORTANT:
When using a truck with a tilt bed be sure to chain the truck bed
down to prevent the bed from being accidentally hoisted.
WARNING:
This machine is equipped with two lifting devices: forklift
channels and a lift ring. Do NOT lift unit with any water
or material in it. The lifting devices are designed to carry
only the empty weight of the machine, approximately 1050
pounds (476 kg).
ATTACHMENTS (OPTIONAL):
1. Discharge hoses: Discharge hoses are available in 50 ft. (15 m) and 100 ft. (30 m) lengths up to a
total of 150 ft. (45 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, includ-
ing the connection to the end of the discharge piping. A nozzle is connected to the end of the hose
next to the remote discharge valve. Once the hose is connected, the HydroSeeder® is ready to oper-
ate. 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 flow at times
when the remote valve is closed. See Figure 2 on page 9.
DANGER:
The recirculation valve must be open when using a remote
valve. If valve is not open, extreme heat will occur resulting
in damage and/or bodily injury.
2. Hose Reel: The live hose reel mounts on top of the unit. The 150 foot (45 m.) capacity electric
rewind reel will wind up and store empty hose. It is wired to the unit's battery.
3. Air Gap Fill Pipe: A bolt on the air gap fill pipe is available that mounts directly to the raised hatch
liner and swings into position when the hatch lid is open.
