Follow these guidelines for a more successful operation.
1. Avoid spouting seeds at an angle into the treater. A surge hopper installed above the
treater is recommended.
2. To shut off seed ow, use the slide gate on the treater or on the holding bin.
3. Treat only clean seed. Remove dust at the holding bins and at the treater inlet.
4. Keep the weighpan tripping quickly to achieve a constant ow of seed and liquid seed
treatment into the coating chamber.
5. Keep the liquid seed treatment tank lid closed during operation to keep out foreign
objects.
6. In all hose lines, avoid dips and valleys where liquid may settle and not drain after
treating. Keep your hoses as close to vertical as possible.
7. Protect supply hoses and bypass return hoses from abrasion, sunlight and being dislodged
with PVC pipe or a similar material.
8. Adjustment to the liquid seed treatment ow should be made with the bypass adjust
-
ment valve located at the pump. Do not place valves, lters or anything that may restrict
liquid ow at any point on the treatment supply hose.
9. When using a premix tank, be sure the bypass return hoses reach down into the liquid
treatment. Do not cut them too short. If the hose is above the liquid level in the premix
tank it can cause excessive foaming.
10. Use tap water at normal temperatures when mixing owables. Do not use hot water.
