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.
