Spreading Speed and Interval
Speed
When spreading for a test pattern and for the final field
application, maintain a speed of 3-8 mph.
Driving Interval
Test Pattern Interval:
Driving interval is 50 ft. (15.24 m)
to maintain accurate application rate and spread pattern.
Field Application Interval:
Determine optimum driving
interval by following the steps below.
NOTE:
The spreader is designed to spread the material
50 ft. (15.24 m) to each side of center, giving a
double coverage for a uniform application. The
application chart is based on 50 ft. (15.24 m)
driving intervals, not the actual spread width.
However, a slight change in driving distance may
be beneficial for optimum coverage.
1. Make sure all adjustments and a spread pattern has
been produced following the “Spread Pattern Test”
and “Spread Pattern Adjustments” section in this
manual.
2. From the Spread Pattern Test Results Sheet found
on page 16, determine the maximum (cc) volume
value of material in center of pattern.
3. Divide this value by two.
4. Locate the distance from the zero foot mark
(centerline of driving path) where the graph intersects
this (cc) value.
5. Multiply this distance by two to determine the
optimum driving interval.
Even if the pattern has an acceptable shape, optimum
driving interval may be too small for practical field
use. If this is the case, the spreader must be adjusted
to produce the best possible pattern shape with an
acceptable driving interval.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the rated gross
weight of the spreader.
