IMPORTANT NOTES:
DO NOT put more than 50 lbs. of seed in the seeder at one time.
The seeder is designed to hold a maximum of 50 pounds of seed.
DO NOT put lime or fertilizer in the electric seeder. The electric
seeder was not designed to distribute lime or fertilizer. It will rust
the seeder components and/or cause the seeder to work
improperly.
You can adjust the seed gate to open wider for larger seeds or close
it for smaller seeds by loosening the bolt that attaches the seed
flow control handle to the seed gate. Make certain the seed gate is
fully closed with the seed flow control in the “0” position and
retighten the set bolt.
HELPFUL HINT: When planting, open seed flow control one detent
at a time until first seed falls out. This is your indication that this is
smallest opening for that size seed. The bigger the seed, the bigger the
opening.
J. The DRAG is used to level soil and to cover larger seeds such
as wheat, rye, beans, peas, Lab Lab and oats. When you get
ready to plant your larger seeds, simply swing the drag over
behind the unit and attach the chain/springs on the bottom of
the wheel assembly to the J-hooks on the drag. In this position,
the drag is used to level the soil and to cover the larger seed
with 1-2 inches of soil. Additional downward pressure and
coverage can be obtained by connecting the hooks on the drag
to the chain links closer to the wheel assembly
Each Complete Unit comes with a DRAG with METAL
GRATING and a CULTIPACKER. Both the drag and the
cultipacker are interchangeable. Each Basic Unit comes with a
Drag only.
K. The CULTIPACKER in its forward position over the disc is
used for added weight for improved discing and plowing. For
optimal use, you should fill the cultipacker with sand. The
cultipacker has a bung cap located on the end of the
cultipacker which can be opened to add sand. The cultipacker
should be removed from the unit and stood on end with bung
hole on top. Fill cultipacker with maximum volume and
replace bung.
