Shipping information
Your Overseeder is shipped partly assembled via flat
bed truck. It is the responsibility of the dealer to unload
and assemble the Overseeder.
Unload all equipment before beginning assembly. Do not
attempt any assembly work while Overseeder is on the
truck.
Read and understand the previous section, “Important
Safety Information” page 1, before starting assembly.
Pre-Assembly Checklist
The information in the Pre-Assembly Checklist is general
in nature and was written to aid the operator in preparing
of the tractor and Overseeder for use, and to provide
general operating procedures. The operator’s
experience, familiarity with the machine, and the
following information combined should provide efficient
Overseeder operation and good working habits.
Having all the parts and equipment readily at hand will
speed your assembly task and make the job as safe as
possible. Please review Pre-Assembly Checklist now.
Sling Brackets
Refer to Figure 1-1:
After the unit is uncrated, check to see if the sling
brackets (#1) are installed, if not, install one on each end
of unit now with 1/2” x 1” long bolts (#2), 1/2” lock washer
(#3) and 1/2” hex nut (#4). The sling brackets allow
points at each end to hook the chain for lifting of the unit.
IMPORTANT: Ballast may need to be added to your
tractor to maintain steering control. Refer to your
tractor’s operator manual to determine if additional
ballast is needed.
NOTE: When hooking hoist chain to sling brackets,
be certain to either use a spreader bar on the chain
or use a long chain to prevent bending sling brackets.
