Then wash as shown in this VIDEO.Proline Dredge/Highbanker combos have become the standard against which all other dual purpose machines are measured. When you shut down, TILT the whole unit and slowly drain the water off the mats. Just make sure… you have the right connections. Getting a 6 foot piece of spa hose or dredge hose to go from the header box to the lat flat hose makes a BIG difference. You CAN connect a flay flat hose directly to the header box, however this often results in kinking of the hose. If you want to break them down, treat them differently. Most clay balls take 20 minutes + to break down. DON’T try and get clay balls to break down in the header box. Watch the videos and Doc talks about the header box angle and wash time. We like to have larger rocks JUST make it out the back. The angle of the header box really varies with each person. Remove them or wash them by hand in the box. Rocks larger than 3-4″ might not fit through the back opening. If running an extension, really try and reduce the flow speed by lowering the pitch. MAKE SURE you read this tuning article: Tuning Your Sluice Start with your main sluice about 9 degrees, then play with the pitch based on your water flow. About 3000 – 4000 gph seems to make the unit run really well. If you’re using a large pump, make sure you have flow reducer / ball valve. Once set up, put a piece of tape around joints to hold them in.ĭon’t overpower it with water. We use it for everything, but some of the plumbing fittings are not glued and may want to shoot off while running. It’s easy to move the mini, a pain to move pumps and hoses.īring a roll of “duck tape” or Gorilla tape with you. Most people want to set up their unit first, then their pump.Īlways position your pump and hose first, It’s just a tip we’ve learned over the years. Remember it’s just practice but we can’t tell you how many times this has saved trips. Do not run your pump dry for more than 15 – 30 seconds if you do start it. This will show you what you’re MISSING… and what’s not working. Hook up everything and PRETEND you’re at the creek. Always do a DRY RUN at home BEFORE going to the field.
