Setting the work depth
To maximize the growing chances of the newly-sown grass seeds, they should be covered by a
thin layer of soil. In principle, this equals a sowing depth of +- 3 mm to 5 mm. To realise this, the
machine should be set to a slightly deeper level. The recommended work depth is 8 to 10 mm.
This means that the blades will enter the soil up to this depth, which will correspond with the
average groove depth.
The depth control is installed on the front of the machine. It includes an adjustment button and a
size designator. Please bear in mind that the blades will shorten due to normal wear, and that this
will interfere with the depth setting. Therefore, the size designator on the machine does not re-
flect the exact depth, and only serves as a framework of reference regarding the adjustment. The
distance between two lines on this size designator corresponds with a depth adjustment of 1 mm.
.
Caution:
For this setting, one should always wear gloves..
How to set the depth:
• Place the machine on flat, stabilized ground (e.g. concrete or asphalt, etc.).
• Switch off the engine.
• Let the machine lower down into operation setting by pushing down the “Transport mode”
lever until the blades touch the ground.
• Rotate the blades manually so that the tips of the blades rest
on the ground.
(= zero point)
• Check the depth setting shown on the size designator on the
front plate.
• Now set the stopper at the 8th line above this designation, so
that the work depth is set to 8 mm.
• Firmly tighten the stopper to prevent it from moving while
operating.
• Reset the machine to transport mode.
To check the actual depth, it is recommended to run a test prior to the overseeding work
• This is done by placing the machine on an even lawn area.
• Switch on the engine of the machine (see § “9.5
Starting the petrol motor” on page
29)
• Operate the lever and lower the machine to its operating mode
• Push the machine forward by 1 m (see § “9.6.1
Driving the machine” on page 31)
