GARDEN SEEDER MAINTENANCE

1. Hopper should be wiped out with a clean cloth after each use. Accumulation of dust, dirt, or residue from seeds may cause the seed plates to stick and alter the accuracy of the planting of seeds.
2. Static electricity may build up in the seed hopper and interfere with the planting of fine seeds. Under these circumstances please wash the hopper and seed plates with a mild dishwashing detergent and allow them to dry thoroughly.
3. We recommend removing the seed plate and cleaning the hopper and seed plates thoroughly before storing the garden seeder.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. One seed plate is in the hopper and the remaining 5 are in the storage bag. To replace the plate with the desired plate:

a. Remove the plate by holding the pulley and belt stationary with one hand while rotating the seed plate in the "OFF" direction, indicated by the arrow on the plate.
b. Push the seed plate off the hub through the hole.

1. Select the desired seed plate. Use the Seed Plate Guide to determine the best seed plate based on the type and size of seed you're planting.

a. We suggest testing the seed plate with your seed before planting.
b. If more distance between seeds is required, place a piece of masking tape over every other hole or as required on the seed plate to achieve your desired distance.

1. Install the selected seed plate (make sure the hopper is completely empty before installing new plate)

a. Hold seed plate at an angle with the bottom against the straight wall inside the hopper
b. Line up the slots against the inside of the hopper and rotate approximately 12 " in the "ON" direction until the cam action locks the seed plate into place on the hub. Do not force the seed plate on.

1. Set the planting depth with the wedge shaped ground opener located directly under the hopper.

a. Move the ground opener until the top edge is in line with the appropriate planting depth (refer to the planting instructions on the packaging of the seed you're plating for proper planting depth)
b. Tighten wing nut after adjustment is made and check the depth by moving the garden seeder forward a few inches.

1. Pour seeds into the hopper. DO NOT fill the hopper above the FILL LINE indicated inside the hopper.
2. Using the Row Marker

a. Mark the first row with strings and stakes.

b. Lower the row marker pole and adjust the row marker blades to the desired width for the next row.

c. Lift the kickstand over the front wheel and begin walking at a steady pace.

1. Emptying the Hopper

a. Remove the drain plug from side of hopper.
b. If there are any remaining seeds in the hopper, lower the kickstand and tip the garden seeder forward until all seeds are removed.
