signal words are:
!
DANGER!
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. This
signal word is limited to the most
extreme situations, typically for
machine components that, for
functional purposes, cannot be
guarded.
This is the safety alert symbol.
It means:
ATTENTION!
!
BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
!
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury, and
includes hazards that are exposed
when guards are removed. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
!
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury. It
may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.

Important Safety Information
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the productsdescribed in
this manual.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲ Slow moving tractors, self-
propelled equipment, and towed
implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They
are difficult to see, especially at
night.
▲ Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended
whenever driving on public roads.
Use lights and devices provided
with implement.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Maximum transport speed for
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT
EXCEED.Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrains require a
slower speed.
▲ Sudden breaking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with breaks.
▲ Use the following maximum
speed - tow load weight ratios as
a guideline:
▲ 20 mph when weight is less than
or equal to the weight of tractor.
▲ 10 mph when weight is double
the weight of tractor.
▲ IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the
weight of tractor.
Use A Safety Chain
▲ A safety chain will help control
drawn machinery should it
separate from the tractor
drawbar.
▲ Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of the towed
machinery.
▲ Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other
specified anchor location. Allow
only enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
▲ Do not use safety chain for
towing.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲ Understand procedure before
doing work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
▲ Work in a clean dry area.
▲ Lower the implement to the
ground, put tractor in park, turn off
engine, and remove key before
performing maintenance.
▲ Allow implement to cool
completely.
▲ Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
▲ Inspect all parts. Make sure parts
are in good condition & installed
properly.
▲ Remove buildup of grease, oil or
debris.
▲ Remove all tools and unused
parts from implement before
operation.

Introduction
Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This implement has been designed with care and builtby
skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly,
maintenance, and safeoperating practices will help you
get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
Application
The PS1548 and PS1572 Primary Seeders are excellent
planting tools for professional contract landscapers,
professional turf managers, and municipal grounds
keepers. Their narrower widths make them very effective
in seeding applications on residential lots, grassy
medians, grassy parkings or right-of- ways adjacent to
sidewalks, community parks, sporting facilities, and golf
courses. Unlike wider models of seeders these units will
do a more effective job of planting in areas where
undulations, moguls, and depressions are prevalent.The
main seed box is equipped with our standard fluted seed
cupsand an agitator enabling highlyaccurate anduniform
delivery of most turf grassseeds as well as awide variety
of other seeds ranging from alfalfato peas.
Owner Assistance
The Warranty Registration card should be filled out by the
dealer at the time of purchase. This information is
necessary to provide you with quality customer service.
If customer service or repair parts are required, contact a
Land Pride dealer. A dealer has trained personnel, repair
parts and equipment needed to service the implement.
The parts on your PS1548 & PS1572 Primary Seeder
havebeen speciallydesignedand shouldonlybe replaced
with genuine Land Pride parts. Therefore, should your
Primary Seeder require replacement parts go to your
Land Pride Dealer.

Section 2: Operating Instructions
Table of Contents
General Description
The following information isa brief description of how this
primary seeder works. It is included to help you
understand the operation of this seeder.
The power to drive the seeding function of this seeder
comes from the ground speed of the tractor. The seed
metering is powered by the front roller at a rate
proportional to the distance driven. This ensures that the
rate applied in pounds per acre or pounds per 1000
square feet remains constant as ground speed is varied.
Thepoweris transmittedviadrivechainsto the seedcups.
This drive can be adjusted to a high or low range to
broadcast more or less seed. The seed rate is adjustable
using the seed rate leverlocated at the rear of the seeder.
The seed is dropped between cast iron rollers. The front
roller crushes clods, presses down small stones and
forms a firm seedbed. The rear roller firms the soil around
the seeds.
Operating Check List
In addition to design and configuration of equipment,
hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper
training involved in its operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment. Before beginning to operate
your Primary Seeder, the following inspection should be
performed.
Check Reference
Read and follow the “Safety Rules”
carefully.
Read all of the "Tractor Hook Up" and
preparation instructions.
“Basic Operations” in this Manual Operator’s
Lubricate the seeder as needed. Refer to
"Lubrication"
Checkthe seeder initially and periodically for
loose bolts & pins, "T orque Values Chart".
Make sure all guards and shields are in
place.

Seeder Preparation
Before proceeding with the first time set-up, or before
making any adjustments mentioned in this section, make
every effort to attach the seeder to a tractor.
1. This seeder can be transported with a full box of
seeds. It is best not to do this unless necessary
because the increased weight does increase the
chances for problems on the road. Do not exceed 20
miles per hour.
2. Calibrate your seeder for a proper rate based on the
seed you are using. Calibration information is located
on the inside of yourbox lid or on page 11.
3. Make sure the seed cup door adjustment handle on
each cup is set the same across the seeder.
4. Neverallow anyoneto ride on the seeder.
5. Maximum seeding speed will vary according to soil
conditions.
6. Check that all plugs and caps have been replaced
properly.
7. Be sure all bolts and nuts are tight.
8. Be certain all guards are in place and secure.
9. Clear the area to be seeded of rocks, branches and
other foreign objects.
10. Atfirstbegin seedingat aslowforwardspeedand shift
up until the desired speed is achieved.
Tractor Requirements
This Primary Seeder is designed fortractors in the
Category 1 class.
Check the tractor’s 3-point lifting capacity. Refer to
“Section 5: Specifications & Capacities” on Page 22
for seeder weight.
NOTE: In order to maintain steering control, ballast
may have to be added to your tractor. To determine
whether or not to add ballast, refer to your tractor
operator’s manual.
Checkinitially andperiodically forloosebolts,
pins, and chains.
Inspect the seed cups and seed tubes for
foreign matter.
Set speed change sprocket for drive type
desired.
