Operation
1. Complete Setup, page 7.
2. Fill the hopper (A) with dry material.
Set the bag in the center of the hopper grate (H) so
the bag breaker teeth engage the center of the bag.
Twist the bag approximately 15 degrees in both
directions to rip the bag open. Lift both ends of the
bag so the dry materials falls out of the bag and into
the hopper.
NOTE: Keep hopper level as close to the grate as
possible to achieve maximum output and consistent
water content.
3. Turn the unit on by moving switch (EA) into the ON
position.
NOTE: The water control solenoid (DE) will
automatically open when the unit is turned on.
4. Adjust the water metering valve (DF) until the

Troubleshooting
18 3A5202G
Material water consistency Inlet water pressure is fluctuating
below the regulator-set pressure.
The water pressure regulator (DD) reduces
the pressure at the water metering valve
(DF) to a constant value. Adjust the water
pressure regulator (DD) so the pressure is
less than the lowest pressure possible from
water supply.
Water pressure and flow is
constant, but there is less dry
material entering mix tube.
There is not enough dry material in the
hopper. Add more dry material to the hopper,
and keep adding dry material to maintain the
level as close to the hopper grate as
possible.
The material dosing auger shaft (FD) is dirty
or worn and needs to be cleaned or
replaced.
There is a debris in the water
control assembly (D).
Verify the water inlet screen (DCC) is in
place and that it is clean.
Disassemble the water assembly and clean
any debris.
Clean debris from water dosing port (FCC).
Water does not turn on, low
flow, or water does not turn off.
Solenoid damaged or clogged with
debris.
