OVERSEEDING OPERATION
NOTE: Must have the slicing reel assembly (350113) for this operation.
MOW: Mow the lawn to shorter than the normal cut height (approximately 2" tall)
DRY: Be sure grass is dry. Wet conditions can cause increased damage to healthy grass.
SEED: Spread grass seed according to the seed suppliers directions (e.g. 10 lbs. per 1000 ft
2
[4.5
kg. per 93 m
2
])
SET DEPTH: With engine off, set the raking depth so that the blades reach 1/4"-1/2"(6-12 mm)
below a flat surface (i.e. driveway, or sidewalk).
START ENGINE: See Page 9.
ENGAGE CLUTCH: Pull back on the bail on the operators handle. NOTE: When engaging the
clutch in heavy load conditions (i.e. heavy thatch, or very uneven turf), push down on the operators
handle lifting the front wheels slightly. Engage the clutch. Slowly lower the unit into the turf.
SLICE: Run machine over the area that has been seeded to incorporate the seed into the soil. If
excessive damage occurs to healthy grass, adjust the blade depth to decrease damage. Continue
raking the yard, working in one direction (i.e. north-south, or east-west). NOTE: If a large drop in
engine RPM occurs, or the unit pulls you forward and bounces during operation the blade depth is
set too low.
WATER/FERTILIZE: After the seed has been worked into the soil, water and fertilize according to
the seed suppliers directions.
