6.
Empty the remaining material of the hopper into
a clean bucket.
7.
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, 20 pounds (9 kg) remains.)
8.
Subtract the amount remaining in the hopper
(step 7) from the amount originally added (step
4); the result is the amount applied to the course.
Amount Applied
25 lb (11.3 kg) – 20 lb (9 kg)
For this example, 5 lb (2.3 kg) was applied to
1,000 ft

(93 m

).
9.
If necessary, adjust the rate dial to achieve the
recommended amount to be applied and repeat
the procedure. Once the correct application rate
is achieved, repeat this procedure an additional
time to verify the results.
Note:
Designate a new calibration course each
time, so the turf is not damaged.
Spreader Pattern Adjustment
If the spread pattern is skewed or dispensing too
light/heavy to one side (see
adjust the gate as follows:
1. Heavy to left side
2. Move ramp pattern to
shaded position
Note:
Do Not adjust the ramps to split product flow.
Use only the front or rear ramp positions as shown.
To adjust when the material pattern rotate the spread
pattern control knob:
•
clockwise if heavy on left side.
•
counterclockwise if heavy on right side.
