BEFORE OPERATING FILL FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE GROUNDS MASTER THE TOR COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE OF CLEAN, FRESH UNLEADED REGULAR GASOLINE POWERED PRODUCTS. UNLEADED GASOLINE BURNS CLEANER, EXTENDS ENGINE LIFE, AND PROMOTES GOOD STARTING BY REDUCING THE BUILD-UP OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS. LEADED GASOLINE CAN BE USED IF UNLEADED IS NOT AVAILABLE. Note: Do not mix oil with gasoline.
CONTROLS SEED FLOW HANDLE (Fig. 2) The seed flow handle controls the amount of seed being applied. The seed flow is adjusted by moving the seeder handle (A) to the left or right. Moving the hands to the left increases the flow of seed. After the adjustment has been made, move the adjustment bolt and knob(B) against the handle and tighten. The seed flow rate will be set for future applications. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE (Fig.
LUBRICATION GREASE FITTINGS (Fig. 3) Grease the fitting in the Wheel Pivot tube weekly or every 40 operating hours. Use a No. 2 Lithium based grease. DRIVE CHAIN (Fig. 3) Always maintain a light coat of grease on the drive chain. BEARINGS (Fig. 3) The Aerospace 82 has five self sealing bearings that must be lubricated with a No. 2 Lithium based grease. IMPORTANT: Lubricate the bearings to maintain a slight leakage on the seals. Too much grease can cause overheating. PTO 1.
MAINTENANCE A4\ DANGER If machine becomes clogged, shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove spark plug wire before servicing. DISC & SEED CHAIN ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 4) 1. The seed chain is adjusted by moving the chain adjustment bolt on the adjustment tab. Adjust downward to increase tension. A 1/8" deflections recommended. NOTE: DO NOT over tighten as damage can occur o the seed saith, Chain Adjustment Oft Figure 4 12 BLADE & DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 5) 1.
DETERMINING SEED FLOW SETTINGS The Aerospace 82 is designed to plant 10 rows of seed,spaced 3"apart, 1/2" to 2" below the surface. Each swath of the seeder can be calculated at 18", 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: 235,000LB. 1,800,0001LB. . Also the sizes of the seed vary greatly.
DETERMINING SEED FLOW SETTINGS (Continued) CALCULATING LBS. OF SEED NEEDED FOR 1000 SQ. FT. Area In Terms Of Square Ft. Method: To calculate seed quantities needed for a given area, a proportion is set up using the information from the charts: EXAMPLE: Anacreon land 200’ x 75’ into be seeded in Rescue at a setting of 5. 1. Determine the area in square feet: 200 x 75' = 2. Refer to chars (column titled Sq. F.) Rescue: 2.4 Ibs. for 1,000 setting of 5. 3. Setup a proportion: 2.4 sq. ft. 4, Cross multiply: sq.
