The most important action here is to ensure that the seeds are covered with a thin layer of soil
so that they are protected from the wind and are less visible to birds. The ideal sowing depth is
between 5 and 10 mm for rapid grass seed emergence. The slow vibration mode is best for this
operation.
Finishing:
The rear crumble roller presses the ground just enough so that the sown grass seed is safely
buried. Nevertheless, the soil still remains sufficiently loose to quickly absorb moisture after rain.
The moisture level in this secure habitat below the top layer is ideal for the seed, which will now
germinate faster.
Caution:
The operator must comply with clothing prescriptions and wear the required
personal protection (see § 7.3.1 General safety instructions).
• Proper gardening starts with studying the work area, removing any obstacles and determining
a work pattern and a route (read § 9.6.2.). It also involves proper preliminary machine
inspection and settings (read § 9.1 and 9.4).
• Sowing can start as soon as the machine is on the work area, at the beginning of the defined
route.
• Always situate the machine to move in a straight line relative to the intended lane; it avoids
having to turn and adjust course whilst the vibrating harrows are at work depth.
• Before starting the work, ensure that:
o all handles on the handlebar are in the OFF position;
o the gear shift is in neutral;
o the vibrating harrows are in their highest position.
• Place the seed reservoir (read § 9.7) and fill it with suitable grass seed.
• Set the flow rate (read § 9.4.1.2). The flow rate depends on the driving speed, the width of the
scatter apertures and the seed grain size. Please refer to the seed curve (read § 15.3).
• Choose the desired depth setting and speed of the vibrating harrows. The ideal settings are a
sowing depth of 5 to 10 mm and slow vibrating mode.
• Start the engine and run it full throttle (3200 RPM) (read § 9.5).
Caution:
If the handle of the vibrating harrows is not in ‘neutral’, starting the engine will
activate them.
• The machine now becomes a dangerous object, and the operator must concentrate on his
movements. As long as he is operating the machine, his full attention must be on the job.
