Assembly and Operation Instructions

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. You will find one seed plate in place in the hopper, the
rest in the box.
A. To remove the plate, hold pulley (12) and belt (11)
stationary with one hand and rotate the seed
plate approximately 1/2” in the “OFF” direction as
indicated by an arrow on the seed plate.
B. Push the seed plate off the hub through the hole
just above the pulley. It will slip off easily.
2. To select the desired seed plate, see the SEED PLATE
GUIDE if the seed is of similar size and shape as those
listed. It is best to experiment before planting. If more
distance is desired between seeds, place a piece of
masking tape over, or fill with bees wax every other
hole or as required in the seed plate.
3. To install the desired seed plate, hold the seed plate
at an angle with the bottom against the straight wall
in the seed hopper. Line up the slots against the inside
of the seed hopper and rotate it approximately 1/2” in
the “ON” direction as indicated by the arrow on top of
the hopper until the cam action locks the seed plate in
place on the hub. Do not force. OFF or ON directions
are also indicated on the seed plates.
4. Pour seeds in the seed hopper. CAUTION: Do not fill
the hopper above the center of the seed plate. NOTE: All the seed, especially small seed, will not be picked up by the
plates leaving a small amount in the bottom of the hopper. Tilt the seeder to the right as you move down the row to
help remove most of the seed if required.
5. Next set the adjustable planting depth with the wedge-shaped ground opener (27) located directly under the
hopper. NOTE: There are graduations in both inches and millimeters on the front angles of the seed chute. Move
ground opener until top edge is in line with desired planting depth. Retighten wing nut after adjustment is made.
Check the depth by moving the seeder forward a few inches in soft soil, readjust if necessary.
6. Mark out the first row with string and stakes. Lower the row marker shaft and adjust the row marker to the proper
width for the next row. Lift the kick stand over the Front wheel. Be sure the cover chain (16) follows behind the
ground opener. You are now ready to plant.
7. To empty any remaining seeds, lower the kick stand and tip the seeder forward until all seeds are removed. NOTE:
When changing seed plates, be sure the seed hopper is completely empty.
NOTICE: Keep your seed hopper clean and free from dust, sand, dirt and seed treating materials.
MAINTENANCE
You will find one seed plate in place in the hopper, the rest in the box.
1. Any accumulation of dust, dirt, or residue from chemically treated seeds in the seed hopper should be wiped out
with a cloth after each use. A buildup of dirt may cause the seed plate to stick and seeds to pop out.
2. Under certain conditions static electricity may build up on the seed hopper and interfere with planting fine seeds. If
this situation should occur, wash the seed hopper and the seed plate with a mild dish washing detergent, and allow
to dry.
