Slit Seeder Attachment (Optional)
Refer to Figure 3-12:
The initial mid-range location of the slit seeder should be
adequate for most overseeding operations. Most
important is to ensure proper adjustment and leveling of
the Overseeder.
1. Loosen four 3/8" hex head cap screws (#1)
(2 per side) and adjust slit seeder up or down to
achieve 1/2" clearance between seed funnel and
ground as shown.
2. Retighten 3/8"-16 x 2 1/2 GR5 hex head cap screws
to the proper torque.
3. Operator can adjust slit seeder attachment up and
down to suit.

Feed Cup Drive System Adjustment
Your Overseeder uses standard no. 40 roller chain
throughout its feed cup drive system. The drive system is
simple and designed for low maintenance.
1. Check drive idler to insure that it is taking up any
excess chain slack.
2. Check each chain to insure that it is not over-tight.
3. Annually clean and lubricate chain with chain oil.
Rotor Drive Chain Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-13:
Drive chain tension can be easily adjusted by using the
special chain tightener shown in Figure 3-13.
Should backlash occur:
1. Loosen lock nut and turn bolt clockwise as indicated
by the arrow until idler arm is firm against chain.
2. Then back bolt off counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
3. Re-lock lock nut while holding head of bolt in place.
