A simple visual pattern test can be made 
by operating the spreader over a non-turf 
area and evaluating the pattern. A more 
accurate method is to place a row of 
common, disposable, aluminum cake 
pans approximately 1 foot on centers. 
Set the rate cam at a middle setting and 
make 3 or 4 passes in the same direction 
as shown. Pour the material collected 
from each pan into individual bottles of 
the same size. Set them side by side in 
order, and visually inspect their volume. 
The effective pattern width is the 
distance out from the spreader to a point 
where the amount of material is 1/2 the 
average amount in the center pans. This 
distance is multiplied by 2 to achieve the 
total effective pattern width.

 

Knowing the effective pattern width (for example, 
10 feet), measure a distance equal to 100 square 
feet (10’ x 10’ area covered). Determine the 
product coverage is pounds/ 100 sq. ft. by taking 
the weight of the product and dividing it by the 
recommended square foot coverage (add two 
zeroes to the weight of the bag).

 

 

EXAMPLE: Product weight: 25 lbs. 
sq. ft. coverage: 5,000 sq. ft. 
2500 lbs. - 5,000 sq. ft.  
= .5 lbs. / 100 sq. ft. 

 

Weigh out between 15 to 20 lbs. of 
material and spread over the 100 sq. ft. 
area. Weigh remaining material left in 
hopper and adjust rate setting as 
required. Repeat test until application 
rate is correct. 

HOW TO DETERMINE SPREADER 

SETTINGS AND SPREAD WIDTH 

 

Two major factors should be considered when determining correct spreader settings of any 
product: 
1. The product application rate, or the amount of material applied per 1,000 square feet. 
2. The effective pattern width, or the actual width in which material is applied. Label settings 
are a guide and can be affected by numerous factors.
