[. . . ] A higher setting can be used when a proven dial setting is established. REMEMBER - Published dial settings can be approximate only. The operation of the spreader, the condition of the material (damp or dry or over-pulverized) and weather conditions, are all contributing factors. For these reasons, it's often a good idea to spread the area 2 times at one-half rate - in cross directions (SEE INFORMATION ON ONE-HALF RATE DIAL SETTINGS ON REFERENCE CHART ON THE BACK PAGE. SPREADING AT ONE-HALF RATE DIAL SETTINGS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED UNDER DAMP & HUMID CONDITIONS. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF THE SPREADER BEFORE YOU PUT MATERIAL IN THE HOPPER. Practice walking with the spreader, opening and closing the rate gate at the appropriate times. Travel at a constant speed and operate the spreader lever position. Remember: Open the rate gate after the spreader is in motion at operating speed (about 3 mph. , or at a brisk walking pace). Close the rate gate while spreader is still at operational speed. Now You are Ready to Spread · Spread header strips at the ends of the area OPPOSITE the direction of spreading. This will provide a "turn-around" area, an area to realign the spreader for the return spread. wide spread: Make the first spreading pass at one-half the spread width from the edge of the spreading area or in this case approximately 3 feet or one big step. · Additional spreading passes will be at the full spread width or approximately 6 feet apart. · TAKE A SIGHTING AT THE FAR END. Keep your eye on the sighting as you spread. You will not need to wonder where you are or where you have been. Continue until spreading is completed. Header Header 3' 6' 6' · Left over fertilizer can be spread under trees and other high feeding areas without showing "edge of spread" lines. 15 16 Read Before Using NOTE: With the rotary agitator installed, the rate gate closed (not spreading) and with material in the hopper, the spreader will push harder than normal. Shifts the product placement on the spreading spinner. This in turn balances the spread pattern heavier to right or heavier to left as required. (Note the very fine threads on the Equalizer adjustment stem. ) Viewed from the operators position To spread heavier left - move the ramp out. To spread heavier right - move the ramp in. It's the VARIABLES. Each variable has it's own spread pattern characteristics. [. . . ] All products - All spreading conditions. Durability - 70 & 90 Series spreaders will survive use and abuse.
