Filling the Seed Box

! CAUTION

! CAUTION

When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

1.This seeder can be transported with a full box of seed, however; it is best not to do this unless necessary because the increased weight does increase the chances for problems on the road.

2.Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting from one area to another. Do not exceed 20 miles per hour travel speed. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

3.Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave enough clearance so the seeder does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.

4.Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough or hilly terrain.

Always lower the Overseeder to the ground to check seed level in the seed box and before filling the seed box. This will keep the rollers from turning while working around them.

1.Always lower the Overseeder to the ground, engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off and remove key before filling the seed box.

2.Release lid latch handle and open seed box lid until over center latch arms have locked in place. Doing this will keep the lid from falling while filling the box.

3.Fill seed box from the rear while standing on the ground. Do not step or climb on the rear roller to fill the seed box. Make sure the rear roller is on the ground so it cannot turn while filling the box.

4.The bag opener (sharp point on top of the baffle plate) can be used to tear open the seed bags.

5.Maker certain the seed box is filled uniformly to insure one side dose not run out of product ahead of the other side.

6.Close lid by pulling on the handle of the over center latch arms with one hand while holding the lid up with the other hand. Lower lid gently while keeping hands and fingers clear.

7.Lock lid down with lid latch handle to keep moisture out.
