Shipping information

Your Overseeder is shipped partly assembled via flat bed truck. It is the responsibility of the dealer to unload and assemble the Overseeder.

Unload all equipment before beginning assembly. Do not attempt any assembly work while Overseeder is on the truck.

Read and understand the previous section, “Important Safety Information” page 1, before starting assembly.

Pre-Assembly Checklist

The information in the Pre-Assembly Checklist is general in nature and was written to aid the operator in preparing of the tractor and Overseeder for use, and to provide general operating procedures. The operator’s experience, familiarity with the machine, and the following information combined should provide efficient Overseeder operation and good working habits.

Having all the parts and equipment readily at hand will speed your assembly task and make the job as safe as possible. Please review Pre-Assembly Checklist now.

Sling Brackets

Refer to Figure 1-1:

After the unit is uncrated, check to see if the sling brackets (#1) are installed, if not, install one on each end of unit now with 1/2” x 1” long bolts (#2), 1/2” lock washer (#3) and 1/2” hex nut (#4). The sling brackets allow points at each end to hook the chain for lifting of the unit.

NOTE: When hooking hoist chain to sling brackets, be certain to either use a spreader bar on the chain or use a long chain to prevent bending sling brackets.
