• The renovated lawn must be mowed for the first time when the new grass has reached a height
of 5 cm (2”).
• As described in '§ d. Treatment after overseeding to enhance germination and growth on
page 37' you can still top-dress and fertilize to further boost the results of the overseeding
treatment.
9.6.5. Emptying the seed distribution system
Please note: It is mandatory to remove the seed from the seed reservoir and the seed distribu-
tion system after each overseeding session.
If the machine is stored in humid conditions, any seed still in the machine may germinate. If this
germination process occurs with seed in auger channels and the seed distribution system, the
machine cannot be used until it is disassembled and the entire system is cleaned. By systemati-
cally keeping the machine free of seeds, this can be avoided.
Procedure:
• Place the machine on a hard surface (e.g. concrete). Wipe the surface beforehand so that it is
dust-free.
• Use a cup to scoop the seed out of the seed reservoir and seed guide.
• Pull open the seed outlet slider.
• Open the lid of the seed reservoir so that you have a good view of the contents of the tray.
• Start the engine (read § 9.5; page 47)
• Squeeze the yellow seed lever.
• Now lift the handlebar so that the roller no longer makes contact with the ground.
• Now squeeze the traction lever so that the roller starts to rotate.
• The seed distribution mechanism that is driven indirectly via the roller will now be activated
and will strew all remaining seed from the seed reservoir and distribution system onto the
ground.
• When you see that all the seed at the bottom of the seed guide has gone, release the levers
again.
• Drive the machine forward on the front wheels so that you can put the machine back on the
ground past the discharged seed.
• Now the seed can be swept together and poured back into the seed bag. Please note: make
sure impurities do not end up in the bag.
• Do not forget to close the seed slider again.
