DETERMINING SEED FLOW SETTINGS A\ DANGER ROTATING AUGER WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY = Never put hands or feet inside the seed box while. engine is running. The Aerospace 93 is designed to plant 16 rows of seed, spaced 3"apart, 1/2" surface. Each swath of the seeder can be calculated at 48" For any calculation involving seed, the weight and size of individual seed must be taken into account. For instance, the approximate number of seed per pound for these varieties of seed are as follows: RYE 235,0001.
DETERMINING SEED FLOW SETTINGS (Continued) SETTING SEED FLOW (Fig. 4 1. Move the seed flow handle {A) to desired settling. 2. Loosen the black knob {B) and slide against handle. 3. Tighten knob. 4, When the remote handle is in the "OFF " position the handle (A} should stop against the bolt (C). in the "ON* position the handle will move against the black knob to allow the desired setting.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: The maximum PTO speed is 540 RPM. Do not operate ata faster speed because the blades, sprockets, gearbox and PTO wiki be damaged. 1. Start tractor engine and run at a low RPM. Using the tractor’s hydraulics raise the Thatcher high enough to clear the ground. 2. With the tractor engine at idle, engage PTO and gradually increase PTO speed to 540 RPM. 3. Select tractor forward speed. 4. With tractor moving forward MPH, gradually lower the unit to cutting position. 5.
LUBRICATION BEARINGS (Fig.5) The Thatcher 83 has two self sealing bearings that must be lubricated with a No. 2 Lithium based grease. The Seeder 93 has four self sealing bearings that must be lubricated with a No. 2 Lithium based grease. IMPORTANT: Lubricate the bearings as often as necessary to maintain a slight leakage on the seals. Too much grease can cause overheating. DRIVE CHAIN (Fig. 5) 1.
MAINTENANCE DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT Both drive chains are adjusted to allow a 1/8" deflection with 5 Ibs of force. Do not over tights the chain because it will wear rapidly. If chain is to footie, the sprocket will wear. THATCHER 83 Chain Adjustment (Fig. 6) A. Remove the chain guard. B. Loosen the nuts on the bolts connecting the gearbox to the frame. C.

TROUBLE SHOOTING THATCHER 83 CONDITION CAUSE CORRECTION EXCESSIVE VIBRATION Blades too deep (extremely dry soil). PTO speed toc low. Check for missing blades. Blade shaft bent. Jam newton end of the blade is loose. Ground speed of tractor is too fast. Change blade depth. Bring PTO speed up © 540rpm. Replace blades.
TROUBLE SHOOTING SEEDER 93 CONDITION CAUSE CORRECTION SEEDER SHAFT NOT * Broken chain, * Replace chain. TURNING * Loose chain. % Side bearing on dead shaft Check if sprocket turns with shaft, a key may be sheared on sprocket. upward to tighten, downward if tension is too Tight. Replace key. DISC SHAFT NOT TURNING Hand tum disc shaft if possible. Check agitator shaft, may be clogged causing disc to lockup. Check the seeder the, they may be rubbing and binding on the disc.
