Note: Settings for this product need to be determined by 
user since factors such as coarseness and density of 
“material used” affect the spread rates.  See page 3 “rate 
wor

ksheet” to calculate approximate spread rates.

 

 

 

When Rate settings are not available, follow these guidelines to 
calculate spread rates:

 

 

On the bag of material to spread, you will find recommended spread rates, usually in 
terms to the effect of: so many pounds will cover so many sq. ft. 

 
 

Read these steps, then refer to the guide (worksheet page  3)

 

 

 

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 page3.
