To Calculate RATE SETTINGS:
Step 1:
Determine how much material is to be
applied per 1,000 sq./ft.
Step 2:
Measure off 50 feet, preferably on a
paved surface such as a parking lot.
Step 3:
Weigh out enough of the material to
be applied to fill the hopper at least half full.
Record the weight for future use
Step 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.
Step 5:
Select the Setting Rate position that you feel would
be an appropriate setting on the ECM Module from 1 to 11.
IMPORTANT - only make Rate Adjustments with the shut-off in
the CLOSED POSITION
ECM Rate Adjustment
1. 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 maintaining control of the vehicle.
2. 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.
3. Stop the vehicle and note the width of the
spread path that was just completed.
4. Return to the start point and empty the
remaining material from the hopper into your
weighing container and re-weigh.
