Dave's Manure Pumping Process Reference



How to Start the Block


(CAUTION: If out-Pressure above 110 on Main Pump, Raise Boosters RPM Immediatly
Critical***(Above 140 out-Pressure)***
 If in-Pressure above 5 on Boosters, Raise RPM on Booster by 100RPM immediately
Critical:***(Above 20 in-Pressure on Boosters***

  1. Start Boosters
  2. Wait till Boosters reach idle 800RPM
  3. Start Main
  4. Monitor RPMs to Ensure Main and Boosters stay running
  5. Wait till 20 out pressure on Main
  6. Call in to Yard-Guy "Main is primed"
  7. Raise Main by 100 RPM
  8. Monitor Boosters in-Pressure, raise by 100RPM as in flow reaches over 5 in-Pressure on Boosters(Watch RPM/Target RPM)
  9. Start driving once 400 gal/min Flow is Reached, Following hose within 5 feet of applicator bumper
  10. Turn on Target Flow Rate Monitoring System
  11. Mark (a) on autopilot
  12. Continue to increase speed on Main in increments of 100, as Boosters in-pressure drops below 5 in-Pressure
  13. Monitor flow rate till target flow rate is reached
  14. Call in to yard guy "Target Flow Reached"
  15. Mark (b) shortly before turn at the end of Triangle on Autopilot
