operation 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.
