Spread Pattern Header
WARNING
Spinner assembly and material divider have NOT been adjusted at the factory. Before spreading
material, spread pattern tests must be conducted to properly adjust the spread pattern. A spread
NOTICE! pattern test kit is available for this purpose.
THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS SPREADER WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR MISAPPLIED
MATERIAL DUE TO AN IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED SPREADER.
It is recommended that spread pattern tests be conducted prior to each spreading season, after any
spreader maintenance, before applying a new product, and periodically during the spreading season.
Spread pattern tests must be performed for each product, blend and application rate.
Spread pattern is affected by many factors. Among the more signifi cant of these are:
• Spinner speed
• Point of material delivery on spinner discs
• Angle of the distributor fi ns on the spinner
discs
• Condition of spinner fi ns
• Material granule size
Since many of these factors will vary for each job, trial and experience must be used to determine the
adjustments required to obtain the swath width and spread pattern desired. The following instructions
outline the adjustments available and the effect that each will have on the spread pattern.
