settings for those units
listed.
EXAMPLE:
Product weight: 25 lbs.
Sq. ft. coverage: 5,000 sq. ft.
2500 lbs. ÷5,000 sq. ft.
= .5 lbs. / 100 sq. ft.
Weigh 15 to 20lbs. of material and spread over the 100
sq. ft. area. Weigh remaining material left in hopper
and adjust rate setting as required. Repeat test until
application rate is correct.
Knowing the effective pattern width (for example,
10 feet), measure a distance equal to 100 square
feet (10’ x 10’ swath width). Determine the
product coverage in pounds / 100 sq. ft. by taking
the weight of the product and dividing it by the
recommended square foot coverage (add two
zeroes to the weight of the bag).
