  • Page 27 Determining the Distribution Pattern Operator supplied equipment: 15 shallow collection pans and 15 graduated measuring cylinders The most accurate method to measure the distribution is to use shallow collection pans and graduated measuring cylinders. In the example below, 15 shallow collection pans approximately 30 cm (12 inches) wide, 91 cm (36 inches) long, and 5 cm (2 inches) tall are used.
  • Page 28 Determining the Effective Spreading Width The effective width is used to determine the uniform distribution of the material. Note: The spreading width range is 0.9 m (3 ft) up to 7.6 m (25 ft). After the spreader pattern is correctly adjusted, evaluate the amount of material in the center graduated measuring cylinder.

    Empty the remaining material of the hopper into a clean bucket. Weigh the bucket containing the material and record the weight. Pour the contents back into the hopper and then weigh the empty bucket. Subtract these two amounts to determine the amount of material remaining in the hopper (for example, 9 kg (20 lb) remains.) Subtract the amount remaining in the hopper...

    The chart below is for reference only. When spraying and spreading at the same time, set the spread pattern to twice the width of the spray; this will help avoid striping and streaking. For example, standard spray width = 2.7 m (9 ft) and spread width = 5.4 m (18 ft).

    Troubleshooting Important: It is essential that all operator safety mechanisms be connected and in proper operating condition prior to use. Important: When troubleshooting or replacing electrical components, disconnect the capacitor harness from the main harness before performing any maintenance. When a problem occurs, do not overlook the simple causes. For example: starting problems could be caused by an empty fuel tank.
