5. Drive the spreader over the calibration course
while applying the material.
6. Empty the remaining material of the hopper into
a clean bucket; refer to
(page 30).
7. Weigh the bucket containing the material and
record the weight. Pour the contents back
into the hopper and then weigh the empty
bucket. Calculate the remaining material weight
using the remaining material weight formula.
Record the remaining material weight here:
Remaining Material Weight Formula
(Remaining
material and
bucket weight) -
Formula (Bucket weight)
Example 10 kg (22 lb) -
1 kg (2 lb)
Note:
In this example, 9 kg (20 lb) of material
remain in the hopper after applying the material
to the test course.
8. Calculate applies material weigh using
the applied material formula that follows.
Record the applied material weight here:
Applied Material Weight Formula
(Original
material weight)
- (Remaining
Formula material weight)
Example 11.3 kg (25 lb)
- 9 kg (20 lb)
Note:
This calculation means that at the
selected motor-rotation speed, 2.3 kg (5 lb) of
material was applied to the 93 m
course.
9. If necessary, adjust the drop-rate cam to achieve
the recommended application rate. Once you
achieve the correct application rate, repeat
this procedure an additional time to verify your
results.
Important:
Designate a new calibration
course each time, so that the turf is not
damaged by excessive application of
material.
