CONSISTENT COVERAGE
To insure consistent coverage, make sure each broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the previous broadcast
pattern as shown in figure below. The approximate broadcast widths for different materials are shown
in the application chart.
WARNING
Do not over apply spreading material. Follow the recommended coverage rate for each product.
Over application will lead to damage and contamination. If spreading material accidentally
hits or deposits to heavily, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to
prevent burning.
CAUTION
The spreader settings are guidelines only. The spreader should be calibrated prior to application
to ensure accuracy.
The spreader settings are based on a walking speed of 3 MPH. Walking faster or slower will
alter the spread application rate. Exact rates depend upon the spreader itself and the accuracy
of the person operating it.
