Using the Retardant Spray System
Description
Certain atmospheric conditions (low humidity, high winds, direct sunlight, or hot
weather) may cause wet concrete to dry too fast during the curing and finishing
process. To keep the concrete moist, this machine is equipped with a retardant
spray system consisting of a water tank and two spray nozzles. The operator can
spray the work surface with clean water or water-based retardant as needed.
Requirements
Water/retardant in water tank
Ambient temperature above freezing
Overview
The retardant spray system is controlled by a switch located on the right control
lever handle.
Procedure
Follow the procedure below to operate the retardant spray system.
1. Fill the water tank with clean water or water-based retardant.
2. Open the valve (a).
3. Press and hold the water spray switch (q) to activate the pump. The water/
retardant will spray from the two nozzles (c).
NOTICE: Drain the retardant spray system if the machine will be subject to
temperatures below freezing. Frozen water or frozen retardant may damage the
retardant spray system.
