  • Page 14: Valve Operation (Base Unit)

    VALVE OPERATION: A: VALVE OPERATION (BASE UNIT): The base HydroSeeder® is equipped with three (3) independently operated ball valves to control slurry flow (see Figure 2). The first valve is the recirculation valve. An open recirculation valve allows flow back into the tank.

  • Page 15: Valve Operation (Platform/Boom Option)

    B: VALVE OPERATION (PLATFORM/BOOM OPTION): The platform option is equipped with two (2) independently operated ball valves to control slurry flow (see Figure 3). With the platform option, discharge of the slurry is accomplished two different ways; either through the discharge boom or through a discharge hose which is coupled to the end of the discharge boom.
