Small Seeds Attachment
To set and calibrate the seeding rate on the optional small
seeds attachment, follow these steps.
Refer to Figure 21
1.
Set the seed rate indicator (a) on the small seeds at-
tachment as indicated by the Small Seeds Rate Chart,
this page. The seed rate indicator (a) for the small
seeds attachment can be adjusted by rotating the
metal crank handle (b).
2.
Loosen the wing nuts and rotate the handle until the
indicator is at desired setting. Retighten wing nuts.
Note: Use the right side of the indicator to align with the
desired number from the seed rate chart.
3.
Calibrate the small seeds attachment to your material
by following the steps under Checking the Seeding
Rate on page 8.
