TM 5-3895-369-14
NOTE
When adjusting additive pumping system, pump output (GPM) should be adjusted rather than the
vehicle's ground speed (FPM).
(9) Adjust additive pump speed as required (Table 2-3).
(10) Push spray bar control lever (3) forward to PUMP ON/SPRAY ON position and hold lever in this position
to apply additive solution.
b. Turn Around Procedures. The following instructions provide procedures for turning the vehicle around
during mixing operations when the additive system is operating.
(1) Release spray bar control lever (3) to stop application of additive solution.
(2) Pull spray bar control lever (4) back to PUMP OFF/SPRAY OFF and hold in until spray bar (5) is closed.
Raising rotor too high above ground while it is operating can cause personal injury. When the rotor is
being operated at a high velocity, it will throw rocks and materials out from under the tailboard. To
avoid injury during rotor operation, personnel should remain well clear of the rear of the rotor assembly.
NOTE
If a trench is required at the end of each mixing pass, skip steps (2) and (3) and come to a complete stop
before continuing on with step (4).
(3) As vehicle reaches end of mixing pass, push rotor boom control lever (9) forward to RAISE ROTOR
position until rotor assembly (2) begins to raise above ground.
(4) Continue to move forward until no more material is being mixed and forced from back of tailboard (10).
(5) Pull rotor control lever (11) to ROTOR OFF to disengage clutch and stop rotor assembly (12).
(6) Push rotor boom control lever (9) forward to RAISE ROTOR position until rotor assembly (12) is
fully raised.
(7) Turn vehicle around and line it up for next mixing pass.
(8) Pull rotor control lever (11) to ROTOR ON to engage rotor assembly (12).
(9) Pull rotor boom control lever (9) back to LOWER ROTOR position until rotor assembly (12) is
fully down.
(10) Move forward to continue mixing operation.
(11) Push spray bar control lever (4) forward to PUMP ON/SPRAY ON position and hold in position to open
spray bar (5) and apply additive solution.
