Maintenance
When you are nished treating seed, disconnect the discharge
tubing from the elbow tting and place it into your original
chemical container. Turn your pump ON and empty the 5-gallon
premix tank.
After the premix tank is empty, place the end of the discharge
tubing in an empty container (example: a 5-gallon bucket). Add a
small amount of clean water to the empty premix tank. Open the
pump all the way and empty the premix tank. Repeat procedure
until tank and pump are clean. Save the rinse water to use in the
preparation of your next slurry batch.
If the applicator is going to be stored in subfreezing tempera-
tures, ush with alcohol or antifreeze to prevent freezing which
will cause pump damage. As an additional safeguard, disassemble
and clean the entire pump assembly, making sure all parts are dry
before you assemble and store for the next season’s use.
Note: Failure to clean your treater properly or failure to
completely drain all liquid from the pump and lines after use may
damage the equipment and will void any warranties expressed or
implied.
Check the gear reducer monthly for adequate oil level by
removing the oil level indicator plug on the side of the reducer.
If oil does not run out, ll until it does. Use 60W oil or
equivalent.
Clean the coating chamber(s) at the end of each treating period.
Failure to do so will cause chemical buildup.
