Slit Seeder Attachment
Refer to Figure 3-17:
The initial mid-range location of the slit seeder should be
adequate for most overseeding operations. Most

the Overseeder.
1. Loosen four 3/8" hex head cap screws (#1)
(2 per side) and adjust slit seeder up or down to
achieve 1/2" clearance between seed funnel and
ground as shown.
2. Tighten 3/8"-16 x 2 1/2 GR5 hex head cap screws to
the proper torque.
3. Operator can adjust slit seeder attachment up and
down to suit.
