OPERATION
CROSSHATCH OVERSEEDING
Making two passes over the same area with the
feed cam set at half the desired seed flow rate will
provide faster fill in.
Make the first set of passes (parallel to each other)
over the area in the normal manner but at half the
seed feed rate.
Cover the same area again, but make the second
set of passes at a 45
passes, again at half the seed rate.
This will lay down the seed in a diamond pattern,
resulting in better distribution and faster cover after
germination.

DETHATCHING
For the de-thatching operation, make sure there is
no seed in the hopper, seed gate will still open
during use.
1. Adjust reel to desired cutting depth. See
adjustment section.
2. On fine turf such as a golf greens make a
few test runs on similar turf. This will allow
preliminary adjustments to be made before
entering greens (etc.) and help eliminate the
possibility of turf damage due to incorrect
adjustments. NOTE: Low tire pressure may
cause uneven reel penetration. Maintain correct
tire pressure to eliminate this possibility (refer
to the Tire Pressure section in the maintenance
section,
for recommended tire pressure).
3. Start the engine. Compress and hold the
operator presence lever.
4. Pull back on the reel control lever and push the
clutch control forward to engage both the reel
and drive clutches. Adjust the throttle to the
desired walking speed.
5. Lower the reel after the unit is in motion, the
seed gate opens automatically as the reel is
lowered.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the turf, the unit should
be in motion and the clutch control engaged before
lowering reel onto the turf.
Never cross hard surfaces or objects (sidewalks,
driveways, stepping stones, etc.) while the reel is
down and/or engaged.
6. After each pass across the turf, raise the reel,
disengage the clutch control and position the unit
manually for the next pass (this will help prevent
damage to the turf). Make all passes across the
turf at uniform speed.
