4.0 General Introduction The CF-80 treater is lightweight, which makes it easy to transport. It can be installed in any convenient location on a temporary or permanent basis. Steps for installation: 1. Choose a level location with access to a 110-volt power source. Allow enough room for feeding the seed hopper, calibrating the machine, bagging the seed and treater maintenance. 2. The treater is self-contained and includes a two-way bagger and one tank for liquid che

Calibration 5.0 Calibration & Pump Priming 1. Read the entire chemical label and MSDS to make sure you under stand the usage and rates to be applied. Take special note whether the recommended application rate of the chemical is given in fluid ounces per bushel or in fluid ounces per cwt. of seed. If the application rate is given in ounces, you will have to convert cc’s. To do so, multiply ounces by 29.6 cc’s = cc’s of product to be applied. The rate must be known prior to treater c

6.0 Calibration Calibration & Pump Priming If more than the required volume of chemical is obtained, adjust the speed control knob to a lower setting and rerun the calibration check. Continue this operation until the proper rates are being measured. Operation When you’ve obtained the proper chemical-to-seed ratio, reconnect the discharge line to the fitting on the application tube. You are ready to treat seed when the proper chemical-to-seed rates are obtained. The chemical will be appl

Guidelines 11.0 General Equipment • Check filters daily at least once. Clean rinse off as necessary. The filter assemblies are intended to keep agglomerates, plant debris and other foreign substances from going through the system and plugging lines. If an accumulation of material is found, the filter basket should be removed and rinsed free of the debris. • Clean pump and product lines frequently to avoid an accumulation of product buildup over time. • Avoid low spots or bows on
