9.6.3. Overseeding

Please note:

The operator must comply with clothing instructions and wear the

required personal protection.
(read § 7.3.4; page 21)

Please note:

If you plan to overseed, keep bystanders at a safe distance (10 m -

30ft).

• Proper gardening starts with studying the work area, removing any obstacles and determining

a work pattern and a route. (read § 9.6.2; page 51)

• It also involves proper preliminary machine inspection and correct settings

(read § 9.4.1; page 38) .

• The overseeding procedure can start as soon as the machine is on the work area, at the begin-

ning of the defined route.

• Make a calculation in advance for the amount of seed that will be needed.

(surface (m

) / flow (gr/m

) x 1000 = required kilos)

• Determine how far you will get with a bag of seed and place the bags where you think the seed

reservoir will be empty. While working, this gives an indication whether the seed consumption is
correct so that adjustments can be made in good time.
