OPERATION

If rate settings are not available, use the following

procedure to calculate the setting

1- Determine how much material is to be applied per 1,000 sq/ft.

2- Measure off a distance of 50 feet, preferably on a paved surface such as a parking lot.

3- Weight out enough of the material to be applied to fill the hopper at least half full. Record the weight

for future use.

4- With the unit mounted on the vehicle and the hopper at least half full of the material to be spread,

position the vehicle far enough before the beginning of the 50 foot test area so that the vehicle will

achieve the desired speed before you reach the starting line.

5- Set the rate setting stop at a position that you feel would be an appropriate setting.

6- Start the vehicle in motion and as you cross the starting line (of the 50 feet) move the rate lever to the

open position against the stop. Take care to be aware of what is going on around you when

maintaining control of the vehicle.

7- Continue from the starting line with the unit spreading the material. As you cross the finish line, move

the rate lever to the closed position.

8- Stop the vehicle and note the width of the spread path that as just completed.

9- Return to the start point and empty the remaining material from the hopper into your weighing

container and re-weight.
