Description of Unit
The Brillion standard Landscape Seeder has been
designed for seeding grasses and lawn mixtures. It is
ideal for sod and turf producers, or anyone who wishes to
seed large areas at precise rates. Micro-meter
adjustment permits precise metering with an infinite
range of settings. All pick-up models are designed for a
Cat.II hitch. Drawbar models include hydraulic transport
with 15” x 5” rims, (2) 7.60 x 15” 6 ply tires, cylinders and
hoses to the hitch point.
• Location reference: Right and Left designations in this
manual are determined by facing the direction the
machine will travel during field operation, unless
otherwise stated.
Owner Assistance

NOTE
DANGER
IMPORTANT
Federal law requires that you explain the safety and
operating instructions furnished with this machine to all
operators before they are allowed to operate the
machine. These instructions must be repeated to the
operators at the beginning of each season. Be sure to
observe and follow the instructions for the safety of
anyone operating or near the machine.
Investigation has shown that nearly 1/3 of all farm
accidents are caused by careless use of machinery.
Insist that all people working with you or for you abide by
all safety instructions.
Understanding Safety
Statements
You will find various types of safety information on the
following pages and on the machine decals (signs)
attached to the implement. This section explains their
meaning.
Special notice - read and thoroughly understand.
Order replacement decals through your Brillion dealer.
Keep these signs clean so they can be observed readily.
It is important to keep these decals cleaned more
frequently than the machine. Wash with soap and water
or a cleaning solution as required.
Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also, be
sure that any new machine components installed during
repair include decals which are assigned to them by the
manufacturer.
When applying decals to the machine, be sure to clean
the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where
possible, sign placement should protect the sign from
abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud, dirt, oil etc.
Keep Riders Off of Machinery
• Do not allow anyone to ride on tractor or
machine. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the machine.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
• Keep bystanders away from machine during
operation.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed caution
cause injury to person or damage product.
may
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed warning will
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with extreme caution. Failure to heed
notice will cause injury or death to person and/or
damage product.
You should read and understand the information
contained in this manual and on the machine decals
before you attempt to operate or maintain this equipment.
Examine safety decals and be sure you have the correct
safety decals for the machine. See Safety Sign and
Locations in Safety Section for decal locations, pages 1-5
and 1-6.
Transporting Safety
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
When transporting the machine on a road or highway,
use adequate warning symbols, reflectors, lights and
slow moving vehicle sign as required. Slow moving
tractors and towed implements can create a hazard when
driven on public roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark tractor and implement in
case of breakdown on the road.
Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and stopping. Reduce
speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes
Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
machine may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the machine.
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the machine to
shift sideways.

Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
NOTE
NOTE
obstructions when transporting. Know transport height
and width of your machine. Refer to transport dimensions
page 5-1.
Attaching, Detaching and Storage
• Do not stand between the tractor and implement when
attaching or detaching implement unless both are not
moving.
• Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be
sure all connections are tight and that hydraulic lines
and hoses are not damaged.
• Lower machine to ground when not in use so that the
shanks are taking the load.
• Block machine so it will not roll when unhitched from
the tractor.
• Relieve pressure in hydraulic lines before uncoupling
hydraulic hoses from tractor.
SAFETY INFORMATION
On most tractors relieving hydraulic pressure can be
accomplished by operating valves after the engine is
stopped. Also, the machine should be lowered to ground
so that the shanks are taking the load.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
Protective Equipment
• Wear protective clothing & equipment.
• Wear clothing & equipment appropriate for the job.
Avoid loose fitting clothing.
• Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Chemical Safety
On most tractors relieving hydraulic pressure can be
accomplished by operating valves after the engine is
stopped.
Maintenance Safety
Block the machine so it will not roll when working on or
under it to prevent injury in case of hydraulic failure or
inadvertent lowering by another person.
Do not make adjustments or lubricate machine while it is
in motion.
Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system
pressure is relieved.
Understand the procedure before doing the work. Use
proper tools and equipment. Refer to “TORQUE
SPECIFIED IN FOOT POUNDS” on page 4-1 for
additional information.
High Pressure Fluid Safety
Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly invisible and
have enough force to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Use a piece of cardboard, rather than hands, to
search for suspected leaks.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil &
property.
Read chemical manufacture’s instructions and store or
dispose of unused chemicals as specified. Handle
chemicals with care & avoid inhaling smoke from any
type of chemical fire.
Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by the
chemical manufacturer.
Prepare for Emergencies
• Keep a First Aid Kit and Fire Extinguisher handy
• Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance,
hospital and fire department near phone.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side, not in
front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if
available.
When removing and installing wheels, use
wheel-handling equipment adequate for weight involved.
Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from the tractor drawbar.

Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of towed machinery, which is 10,100
pounds minimum in accordance with ASAE S338.2
specifications. If two or more machines are pulled in
tandem, a larger chain may be required. Chain capacity
must be greater that the TOTAL weight of all towed
implements.
A second chain should be used between each
implement.
Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or
specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the
chain to permit turning. The distance from hitch pin to
attachment point or intermediate support point should not
exceed 9 inches. See Figure 1-2.
Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
Do not use a safety chain for towing.

When plugging in the LED 7-pin connector:
1) Make sure the tractor has a good clean receptacle, free of dirt and corrosion.
2) Make sure the 7-pin connector is inserted ALL the way in. With tighter fitting pins, operator
may think the connector is all the way in, but really isn’t.
3) Make sure the tractor receptacle cover latches over the keyway on the 7-pin connector to hold
the connector in place.
If an operator plugs in the 7-pin connector, but the lights do not seem to work right, check the above
items to make sure there is a good connection with the 7-pin connector.
