PATTERN ADJUSTMENT Normal spreading of materials requires no adjustment (factory setting “A”) unless stated on the package. In those cases where the spread pattern has shifted, the pattern can be adjusted left and right by loosening the two knobs on the discharge chute and moving the chute closer or farther away from the impeller. Settings of “A, B, and C” are provided as reference.
APPLICATION RATE EXAMPLE: Product weight: 25 lbs. sq. ft. coverage: 5,000 sq. ft. 2500 lbs. ÷ 5,000 sq. ft. = .5 lbs. / 100 sq. ft. Knowing the effective pattern width (for example, 10 feet), measure a distance equal to 100 square feet (10’ x 10’ swath width). Determine the product coverage in pounds / 100 sq. ft. by taking the weight of the product and dividing it by the recommended square foot coverage (add two zeroes to the weight of the bag). Weigh out 15 to 20 lbs.
The following provides approximate 70 PP settings when only the product weight, square foot coverage, and visual inspection of the material is available. FERTILIZER PARTICLE SIZE BAG RATE Lbs. of fertilizer used per 1,000 sq. ft. of coverage 5 10 15 5 10 15 1 2 3 5 10 15 5 10 15 Large, heavy particles Medium- mixed particles Small particles (nitrogen) Mixed size particles -some fines Light weight particles APPROX.
CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS The spreader was factory calibrated, however, calibration should be checked occasionally to assure optimum performance. 1. Pull the on/off lever to the “OFF” position. Set the rate control plate to setting “B”. Pointer 3. Loosen the rate control knob and slide the rate plate until the port is just opening. Loosen pointer screw and move pointer until it aligns with “B” on the rate plate. Retighten pointer screw.
