The above chart is a reference only. The width of the spread varies according of the
quality and weight of the seed/material, fan speed, and wind conditions. All widths
given above are conservative. After making one run through your field, check spread
and check battery/grounding connections.
When measuring opening width, measure from the inset of tooth on the seed gate,
not from the tip of the teeth.
CAUTION:
When spreading bahia grass, teeth must be removed from seed gate for even feeding.
For every
1/16”
increase in opening, the amount going through the opening will
increase approximately 100% over the last setting.
