OVERSEEDER
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the locking nut. Turn the adjusting screw
G clockwise (down) to raise reel from the turf, and
turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise (up) to
lower reel into the turf. Tighten locking nut H after
each reel adjustment.
Low tire pressure may cause uneven reel
penetration. Correct tire pressure should be
maintained to eliminate this possibility (refer to the
Tire Pressure section of this manual, for
recommended tire pressure).
NOTE: The factory reel depth setting gives a
maximum of 1/4" (6 mm) turf penetration on
level terrain, and a reel to ground clearance
of 1-1/2" (38 mm) when reel lift lever is in the
transport (raised) position. Do not operate at
turf depths exceeding 1/4" (6 mm).
Never cross hard surfaces or objects
(sidewalks, driveways, stepping stones etc.)
with reel blades down and/or engaged.
Increasing the depth of the reel blades will
decrease ground clearance when the reel is
in the raised position.
After adjusting to desired cutting depth, test run
the unit to check for desired blade penetration.
