SECTION 5 - DESCRIPTION BLEC CULTIPACK SEEDER
MODELS CP36- CP42
Both models are designed to sow grass seed and incorporate into top soiled areas
Based on the following proven working principle. The twin front cast iron rollers
Have serrated rings which penetrate the soil, leaving a pattern of ridges and small
Indentations in the top 20mm (3/4”). A rear seeder unit equipped with a
Seed/fertiliser hopper, evenly spreads grass seed or fertiliser at ta required amount
Determined by the adjustable cam guage and lever fitted to the rear of the hopper,
The seed falls into and in between the small pockets in the soil. To complete the
process a rear ring roller splits the ridges and presses down the seedlings into the
Soil, leaving the seedlings incorporated in the top 20mm (3/4”) for ideal germination.
It is important slewing clutches are fitted on the tiller for ease of turning. A footplate
Mounted on the rear allows the operator to ride on for easier operation and less fatigue.
IIMPORTANT
DESCRIPTION
The BLEC range of CULTIPACK SEEDERS have been designed to mount onto
Standard type power tillers or two wheel tractors, as they are sometimes known.
Before fitting it is important you have the correct model seeder to suit your power
Tiller.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Make sure only experienced workers over 16 use this seeder for safety reasons.

MODELS - CP36/CP42
ASSEMBLY
The BLEC CULTI-PACK SEEDER unit will be assembled, lubricated and ready for work if supplied
with a recommended power tiller equipped with safety devices.
However, if the seeder requires fitting to a power tiller, please follow the directions below:-
Step 1.
Fitment of cast ring roller drums to tiller axle. (See Photos 2A & 2B)
·This operation will require 2 people for safety.
·Please find level, hard surface. Stand the tiller on the wheels.
Remove the pin and clip on one side axle.
·Raise one side of the tiller to allow the wheel to be removed.
·(See Photo 2A).
·position the cast ring drums with welded lip side towards shaft.
·Rotate drum until the hole in the axle lines up with the hole in the drum.
·Then line up the axle with the tube and slide on until the edge of the drum is
close to the chain case and also to the nearest hole in the axle.
·Secure with the pin and clip.
·Repeat same process with opposite side drum.

Step 2.
Fitment of seeder unit to tiller.
The seeder unit is attached to the jaw bracket on the tiller via a mounting bracket (black) which has a
scraper bar attached to it. (See Photo 3).
* disconnect the mounting bracket (1) from the drawbar of the seeder by
removing the middle pin and clip.
* slide the bracket into the jaw bracket of the tiller and secure with 2
pins and clips supplied.
* tighten locking bolt (See Photo 4), No. 3. This will keep the rackets
tight on the pins.
* the scraper bar is secured to the mounting bracket by 2 bolts and nuts
(See Photo 4).
* position and tighten.
* fitted to the scraper bar are 2 serrated scrapers which are adjustable for
width and length, via the nuts and bolts. It may be necessary to adjust the scrapers.
* when adjusting, make sure a gap of 6 - 10 mm is between the cast ring roll
and scraper to allow for movement. (See Photo 5).
* position the seeder drawbar (See Photo 3) into the mounting bracket and
secure with pin and clip. Lift up the support leg and secure with pin and clip.
The seeder and tiller are now assembled.

SECTION 7 - PREPARING FOR USE
BLEC CULTI-PACK SEEDER
MODELS - CP36/CP42
TYPE OF SEEDING SYSTEM
The Cultipack seed hopper is equipped with an accurate seeding mechanism, which
Consists of a stainless steel bottom with two sliding sections which have specially
Shaped apertures (holes) inserted in each part. To vary the amount of seed to be
Spread, you must slide the bottom section to either increase or decrease the hole
Size. This is achieved by twisting lever A (see Photo 5a) until the tab touches the
Side of the numbered cam gauge (see photo 7)
New 2006 onwards models are fitted with a shut off plate, which is operated by twisting
Lever B (see photo 5a) until the plate drops down, therefore allowing the grass seed to fall
Out. By lift lever B up, and then twisting to lock up plate, this stops the seed from falling out.
The numbers on the cam gauge DO NOT represent a specific amount of seed, it is only a
Scale to work from.
A blanking tray is provided which slides under the hopper chute, allowing seed to be collected
Ready for calibration (see photo 8)
For calibration procedures please see page 7.

MODELS - CP36/CP42
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR CP36 & CP42
For accurate calibration you will require a set of scales and a small sheet. Proceed as follows:-
1. Find out your required seed rate. (Example - 35gms sq metre, 1 1/40ozs sq. yd.
2. Make sure the lever is in the OFF position.
3. Fill the hopper with a quantity of clean seed, approximately 1/3rd - 30% full.
4. Make sure the blanking strip is fitted to the bottom of the chute.
5. Measure out a distance of 20 metres - (22yds) in a straight line and mark ‘start’ &
‘finish’ with cane sticks.
6. Position the seeder at the ‘start’ point.
7. Select a number on the scale (i.e. 65) and rotate the cam gauge until this number lines
up with the tab - (See Photo 7), and turn the lever to ON position, until it stops
against the cam gauge.
8. Drive along for 20 metres - (22yds), then switch off.
9. Place a sheet under the chute and slide out the blanking strip, allow the seed to fall
on to the sheet.
10. Weigh the seed. This will be the amount spread for the following:-
CP36 - 18.5 metres square - (20 yards square)
CP42 - 21.5 metres square - (23 yards square)
11. If the amount of seed is too little or too much, select another number on the scale near
to which you think is appropriate and repeat the procedure until the correct rate has
been achieved.
IMPORTANT
The speed you calibrate your seed rates must be the same speed you will use to work
at. Otherwise differences will occur. The faster you travel, the less seed is spread.
