SEEDER ASSEMBLY
Instructions for the seeder
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The equipment is only intended to sow grass seeds on lawns. All other use such as spreading lime or manure is incorrect and could damage the equipment.
General information
The seed hopper is mounted on the rear of the machine. The seeds are released with a lateral space of approximately 3.8 cm ( 1 1/2") after the blades have cut the soil.
Delta blades are recommended for seeding.
For more uniformed coverage, we recommend first sowing in one direction and then sowing at approximately 45° from the first sowing pass. With this method, the seed flow should be set at half of the recommended quantity for approximately 93 m2 (1000 ft2).
The seeder does not remove the thatch layer. The thatch should be removed before beginning the seeding process. The seeds must be covered with soil to germinate.
Adjusting the seed hopper
A seed application chart is located on the back of the seed hopper. The seed dial is also located on the handle bar of the unit. Set the seed flow by loosening the wing nut, rotating the dial to the correct setting and tightening the wing nut. The seed control lever is located on the handle of the seeder.
When the seed control lever is in the open position, the dial controls the degree that the seed gate will be opened. The flow of seed can be stopped with the seed control lever when turning and refilling seeds.
Maintenance
Make sure before use that the release holes for the seeds are not plugged with soil or similar.
Clean the equipment carefully after use.
Lubricate after cleaning to prevent corrosion. Lubricate joints and bearings and unpainted metal surfaces.
