Start by ensuring that you spreader calibration is correct.

Make sure the holes in the bottom of the hopper are fully open when the Rate Control

handle is on #30. If not, please adjust control cable either at the back of the hopper

or at the control handle to allow for a full open hopper position at #30.

models on the fertilizer for settings. If there

are none listed, please use the comparison chart below as a guide to estimate your

spreader setting.

These settings are approximate and intended as a guide only. Variations in physical

characteristics of material applied, walking speed and surface roughness may require

slightly different spreader settings.

Due to the above conditions, the manufacturer makes no warranty as to the

uniformity of coverage actually obtained from settings listed.

Step 1: Use Chart 1 to estimate the number of LBS/1,000 square feet of coverage
(Example: 20LB bag with 10,000 square foot coverage = 2.0LBS/1,000 square feet)

Step 2: Find the closest LBS/1,000 square feet in Chart 2 that you estimated using
Chart 1 (Example: 2.0LBS/1,000 square feet = Spreader Setting of 13)
