Transporting
!
CAUTION
When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the
day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and
local laws.
1. This seeder can be transported with a full box of
seed, however; it is best not to do this unless
necessary because the increased weight does
increase the chances for problems on the road.
2. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another. Do not exceed 20 miles per
hour travel speed. When traveling on roadways,
transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles
may pass you safely.
3. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave
enough clearance so the seeder does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.
4. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over
rough or hilly terrain.
Filling the Seed Box
!
CAUTION
Always lower the Overseeder to the ground to check seed level
in the seed box and before filling the seed box. This will keep
the rollers from turning while working around them.
1. Always lower the Overseeder to the ground, engage
tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off and remove
key before filling the seed box.
2. Release lid latch handle and open seed box lid until
over center latch arms have locked in place. Doing
this will keep the lid from falling while filling the box.
3. Fill seed box from the rear while standing on the
ground. Do not step or climb on the rear roller to fill
the seed box. Make sure the rear roller is on the
ground so it cannot turn while filling the box.
4. The bag opener (sharp point on top of the baffle
plate) can be used to tear open the seed bags.
5. Maker certain the seed box is filled uniformly to
insure one side dose not run out of product ahead of
the other side.
6. Close lid by pulling on the handle of the over center
latch arms with one hand while holding the lid up with
the other hand. Lower lid gently while keeping hands
and fingers clear.
7. Lock lid down with lid latch handle to keep moisture
out.
