Installation Instructions
Before You Start
Most accidents are the result of negligence and care-
lessness, usually caused by failure of the operator to fol-
low simple but necessary safety precautions. Allow no
one to install the small seeds attachment before carefully
reading this manual.
Due to evolving manufacturing practices, some sub-
assemblies may already be completely pre-assembled. If
so, check that fasteners are tight, and skip the unneeded
assembly steps.
Tools Required
• Basic hand tools, including hose clamp pliers
• Updated Parts Manual for the drill
• Drill and common fractional bit sizes, including 3 ⁄

• Scaffold or ladder
• Two people for attaching seed box (3 preferred)
Torque values for fasteners are shown on page 36.

out the box per the instructions in the current drill
Operator Manual.

CAUTION
Falling Hazard - Installation of the Small Seeds option reduces
clearance above the walkboard. Drills with Small Seeds
installed require more caution when working on their walk-
