7.Replace all damaged or missing decals.

8.Check knives for wear and replace if necessary.

9.Inspect Overseeder for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed.

10.Drain gear case and chaincase oil. Drain oil in gear case by removing plug from the bottom side of the rotor housing. Drain oil in chaincase by removing oil level plug and fill plug.

Individual Knife Replacement

The following instructions are for replacing only a few bent and/or broken knives on the rotor without removing the rotor from the Overseeder frame. It is best to remove the rotor from the frame if replacing all knives. See “Rotor Maintenance” on this page to replace all knives.

Rotor Maintenance

!WARNING

Before making adjustments on the Overseeder, shut off the tractor, disengage PTO, wait for all moving parts to stop and lock brakes before dismounting tractor. Securely block Overseeder on safe supporting stands and disconnect tractor.
