Agitator Attachment (Optional)
General Operating Instructions
1. The Agitator Attachment can be effective:
a. for large, fluffy, hard-to-plant seeds.
b. if uneven seeding occurs because of bridging in
the seed box.
2. When using the agitator, move the seed
broadcasting handle to the left, see “Seed
Broadcasting System” on page 18. In doing so, the
seed will have a larger area to fall through to avoid
plugging.
3. A large amount of stems or leaves mixed in with the
seeds can cause bridging in the feed cups. Always
use clean seeds if possible.
4. It will be necessary to calibrate your seed rate after
connecting the agitator. See “Calibrating &
Adjusting Seeding Rate” on page 20 for detailed
instructions. While running the calibration, check to
make sure the seed is not bridging in the feed cups.

NOTE: If you are not seeding large, fluffy seeds, or
the agitator is not needed to eliminate bridging, the
agitator sprocket should be disconnected. Failure to
do so will shorten the chain life.
