COVERAGE VALUE
To obtain the proper spreader setting for the
material being spread, follow these steps:
1) Find the total weight in lbs. of the product
from the product label on the bag of material.
2) Find the coverage amount in square feet that
the product is rated for from the product label
on the bag of material.
3) Divide the bag weight rated in lbs. by the
square feet coverage rated on the bag.
4) Take this result and multiply it by 1000.
5) This final number is the lbs. of material to be
spread per 1000 square feet.
6) Use this number in Chart B to obtain the
proper spreader setting.
As an example:
1) The fertilizer bag weighs 10 lbs.
2) The coverage value is rated at 2000 square
feet.
3) 10 lbs. / 2000 square ft. = 0.005
4) 0.005 × 1000 = 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
5) Using this number in Chart B, you would
obtain a spreader setting of 17.
