ESTABLISHING A SETTING RATE
STEP 1
: Determine the rate by dividing the bag weight by the coverage of the bag listed (Example:(37lbs/10,000square feet =
.0037), then multiply by 1,000 (.0037x1000 = 3.7lbs/1,000 square feet). That will give the suggested LBS/1,000 square feet rate.
STEP 2:
Find the closest LBS/1,000 square feet in Broadcast Setting Matrix below, based on the material particle size. (Example:
2.0 LBS/1,000 square feet = Spreader Setting of 9,11, or 13 based on particle size)
The settings furnished on the Rate Setting Matrix are intended as a guide only. Variations in physical characteristics of ma-
terial applied, walking speed, and roughness of ground surface may require slightly different spreader settings. Due to the
above conditions, EPI makes no warranty as to the uniformity of coverage actually obtained from the settings listed.
