1.Determine how much material to apply per 1,000 sq. ft.
2. Measure off a distance of 50ft, preferably on a paved area (ie: parking lot)
3. Weigh out enough material from bag to fill hopper ½ full (recommend at least ½ full
hopper)
Record weight for later.
4. Set the stop at position with opening of hopper at position you feel appropriate.
5. Now with hopper ½ full, bring vehicle to desired speed before start line of your 50 ft test
area.
When you arrive at start line, turn on spreader, then off at finish line
6. Stop the vehicle and note the width of spread path from your test run.
7. Repeat if necessary; Then empty remaining material from hopper back to your weighing
device and record new weight.
8. Be sure to record your results, see below guide on page 3.
