Instructions for the seeder
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.
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.
To avoid new grass growing in ugly rows, 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 m
2
(1000 ft
2
).
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 open, the dial
controls the degree that the seed gate can 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.
Be careful of the muffler when opening the
seed hopper lid as it can be very hot and
cause burns.
