Seed Application

Preparing the Lawn

Cut the grass to approximately ½" (1-1.5 cm) lower
than you normally would.
Do not water before sowing.
Remove the layer of old grass cuttings (thatch).
Aerate the lawn with a core-type ground aerator.
Fertilize the lawn.

Seed Application Chart

Located on the seeder, the chart values are
approximate; quantities of seed depend on the speed
at which the machine is run. Faster running speeds
results in sparser sowing.
To set the seed application, loosen the wingnut and
turn the seeder dial to the desired sowing setting.
Retighten wingnut.
Pull back on the oPEN/CLoSE lever to apply seed.

Seed Application Recommendations

For best results, sow in two directions with a 45°
angle between.
Water generously immediately afterward and
continue watering moderately for 10–14 days to
keep the soil moist.
After germination, water sporadically to
encourage root growth.

Bagger Attachment and Removal

To attach bagger, place foot on safety door rear bolt
and push down until door is flat. Set the bagger onto
the door and up against the chute.
Secure bag clamp.
To remove door, unlatch bag clamp. Push down on
rear bolt and slide bagger away from the chute. The
safety door is spring loaded and will flip up to cover
the rear opening until the bag is reinstalled.
