Assembly Checklist
The information in the Assembly Checklist is general in
nature and was written to aid the operator in preparing of
the tractor and Overseeder for use, and to provide
general operating procedures. The operator's
experience, familiarity with the machine, and the
following information combined should provide efficient
Overseeder operation and good working habits.
Having all the parts and equipment readily at hand will
speed your assembly task and make the job as safe as
possible. Please review Assembly Checklist now.
Sling Brackets
Refer to Figure 1-1:
After the unit is uncrated, check to see if the sling
brackets (#1) are installed, if not, install one on each end
of unit now with 5/8"-11 x 1 1/4" GR5 bolts (#2), 1/2", and
hex flange locknuts (#3). The sling brackets allow points
at each end to hook the chain for lifting of the unit.
NOTE: When hooking hoist chain to sling brackets,
be certain to either use a spreader bar on the chain or
use a long chain to prevent bending sling brackets.
