traveling at the desired spreading speed before
reaching the pans.
2.
Place one pan in the center of the drive path.
Arrange the next two pans, one on each side,
far enough apart to allow ample room for the
spreader drive tires to pass over the center pan.
3.
Place the remaining pans in a straight line as
shown in
Figure 23
•
For larger granule materials:
Space six additional pans, on each side, 30
cm (12 inches) apart as shown in
Figure 23

6.
Set the impeller speed to the appropriate
broadcasting rate.
7.
Pull the Spread Open/Close handle to the
open position and drive the spreader, at the
appropriate speed, over the center pan. Repeat
this several times, moving in the same direction
each time, until enough material is dispensed
to fill the center graduated measuring cylinder
half full.
8.
Label each graduated measuring cylinder to
correspond with the distribution pans (i.e. ...L2,
L1, Center, R1, R2....) (refer to
Figure
24).
9.
One at a time, take a collection pan and dump
the contents into the corresponding graduated
measuring cylinder. Record the amount of
material collected and return the pan to its
location. Repeat this until all pan contents have
been emptied.
10.
With the graduated measuring cylinder in the
same straight line as the pans, evaluate the
volume of material in each cylinder to determine
the quality of the distribution from the spreader.
