OPERATION
OVERSEEDER OPERATION
1. Adjust reel to desired cutting depth, not to exceed
1/4" (6mm) maximum.
NOTE: Cutting depth exceeding 1/4" (6 mm) may be
too deep for most seed and may prevent
germination.
2. Make a test run to check for desired blade
penetration.
3. Set the feed control cam A on the hopper
according to the "Seed Feed Chart" located
inside the hopper cover. Fill the hopper with
seed.
4. Start the engine. Compress and hold the
operator presence lever.
5. Pull back on the reel control lever and push the
clutch control forward to engage both the reel and
drive clutches. Adjust the throttle to the
operator's desired walking speed.
6. Lower the reel after the unit is in motion, the
seed gate opens automatically as the reel is
lowered.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the turf, the unit
should be in motion and the clutch control
engaged before lowering reel onto the turf.
Never cross hard surfaces or objects (sidewalks,
driveways, stepping stones, etc.) while the reel is
down and/or engaged.
7. After each pass across the turf, raise the reel,
disengage the clutch control and position the unit
manually for the next pass (this will help prevent
damage to the turf). Make all passes across the
turf at uniform speed. Slightly overlap the area
previously seeded to ensure complete coverage.
