HOPPER CALIBRATION Two things must be considered when calibrating a spreader. The first is the distribution pattern of the spreader. That is, the pattern the product makes as it strikes the ground after being thrown out by the spreader’s inpeller. There are many factors which affect the distribution pattern of a rotary spreader and some of them relate directly to the product.

CALIBRATING THE SPREADER PRODUCT APPLICATION RATE The Ride-On uses a double overlap spread. For most products, turn every 7 feet so that on the next pass the fertilizer reaches approximately back to the center of your last wheel marks. This method prevents striping the lawn, and allows the 11’- wide spray pattern to overlap at the edges for complete coverage.
SPRAYER OVERVIEW 11 Ft. The 8 gallon tank supplies product to the 12 volt pump, which is located under and to the right of the engine. A generator and battery supplies the electricity to the pump. The pump is momentarioly turned on with a toggle switch on the left handle to spray and off to stop spraying.
SPRAYER CALIBRATION LIQUID CALIBRATION Rev the engine and measure the amount of liquid sprayed through one of the Gray nozzles, for 1 minute. It should be approximately 45 ounces. (Contact the factory if there is a significant variance.) Refer to the mix chart below. Locate your “6th (High) gear elapsed time” in the left hand column. Read across the row till it intersects the column that lists the desired chemical rate from your product label.
