SOWING DEPTH CONTROL Move up to raise sowing depth Move up to reduce sowing depth • The Sowing Depth Control Device makes the seeder keep the same seeding depth during use. • The Rear Roller will power the chain and the gear. The coulter will open the soil, the seed box will drop the seed and the cover plate will close the soil.
Note the following in order to avoid fertilizer burn: The fertilizing rate should be controlled according to your field condition. Choose the proper fertilizer for the seed. Always inspect, maintain or adjust the seeder after each use. While operating the seeder, keep area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Keep children and bystanders away. Distractions can cause you to lose control, so bystanders should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

Weight, size, relative humidity, and moisture content can affect seeding rates. Users can adjust the position of the seed/fertilizer tongue and lock in different positions by moving the cotter pin to meet the different seeding/ fertilizing size. SEEDING/FERTILIZING RATE ADJUSTMENT HANDLE To adjust the fertilizer rate, you will need to adjust hand wheels (on each side of hopper).
