OPERATION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
this seeder. The operator must be properly trained.
Operators should be familiar with the equipment, the
tractor, and all safety practices before starting opera-
tion. Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 5
through page 8.
Recommended tractor ground speed is from 2 to 5
mph.
Power unit must be equipped with Roll Over
Protection System (ROPS) or ROPS cab and seat
belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off
power unit can result in death from being run over
or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in “locked
up” position at all times.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, set
parking brake, remove key, inspect, and repair any
damage before resuming operation.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Precision Super Seeder
Ground Tool Operation
The Precision Super Seeder is an excellent turf recon-
ditioning tool, primary seeder, food plot and conserva-
tion seeder. Its ground penetration promotes a healthy
root system by allowing water, air, and sunlight to enter
the roots.
Front Rollers
When the front rollers are straight (Figure 1) and the
seeder is pulled forward, the large front pins will pene-
trate the soil in a straight pushing action, and little dis-
turbance is caused to the turf.

The front rollers can be angled to promote a more
aggressive tearing action of the turf. The more the
angle, the more tearing action is applied by the front
roller pins. For severe turf conditions, the maximum
angle position may be desired (Figure 2).
