Operation
B. Determine a course length by dividing 1,000
ft
2 (93 m 2 ) by the effective spread width.
For example, if the effective width is 6 feet
(1.8 meters), then the calibration course length
equals 167 ft (51 m).
Course Length
1,000 ft 2 (93 m 2 )
6 ft (1.8 m)
= 167 ft (51 m)
C. The calibration course is 6 ft (1.8 m) by 167
ft (51 m).
D. Measure and visibly mark the course length.
Make sure to allow ample distance before the
starting marker to ensure the spreader is at
full speed when crossing the first mark of the
course.
3. Set the appropriate gate setting (reference the
Spreading Chart section as a starting point).
4. Add grass seed to the hopper (for example, 25
lb (11.3 kg) was added).
5. Drive the spreader over the calibration course
while applying the grass seed.
6. Empty the remaining grass seed of the hopper
into a clean bucket.
7. Weigh the bucket containing the grass seed and
record the weight. Pour the contents back into
the hopper and then weigh the empty bucket.
Subtract these two amounts to determine the
amount of grass seed remaining in the hopper
(for example, 20 pounds (9 kg) remains.)
8. Subtract the amount remaining in the hopper
(step 7) from the amount originally added (step
4); the result is the amount applied to the course.
Amount Applied
25 lb (11.3 kg) – 20 lb (9 kg) = 5 lb (2.3 kg)
For this example, 5 lb (2.3 kg) was applied to
1,000 ft
2 (93 m 2 ).
9. If necessary, adjust the rate lever to achieve the
recommended amount to be applied and repeat
the procedure. Once the correct application rate
is achieved, repeat this procedure an additional
time to verify the results.
