Ensure that the Stinger Smart Seeder is in good working condition and all components are properly attached. Check the seed hopper, row units, and seed metering mechanisms.
Fill the seed hopper with the type of seeds you intend to plant. Make sure the hopper is clean and free of any debris that might affect seed flow.
Set the desired seed rate on the seeder according to your planting plan or crew leader. The seed rate is typically specified in pounds per acre or seeds per foot, depending on your application.
Adjust the row spacing on the seeder as directed by your crew leader or manager. This ensures that seeds are planted at the desired distance apart.
Set the planting depth to the desired level as advised by your crew leader or manager. The depth control varies depending on the specific model of the Stinger Smart Seeder.
Start the seeder and engage the seed metering mechanism. Check that seeds are flowing smoothly from the hopper to the row units.
Drive the seeder across the field while engaging the row units. The seeder will operate at the set depth and spacing.
Continuously monitor the seeder to ensure a consistent seed flow. Be prepared to make adjustments if any issues arise.
Continue seeding until you have covered the entire lawn according to your plan.
After seeding, thoroughly clean the seeder to remove any remaining seeds and debris. Proper maintenance and cleaning are crucial for the seeder's longevity.
Review operation with your manager, crew leader, or team development coordinator before using this machine. Operate under crew leader or manager supervision when using for the first time. The exact operation may vary depending on the seeder's features and capabilities.
