When properly calibrated and adjusted, Endurance applicators are capable of broadcasting a
consistent, flat pattern. The flat, even pattern creates efficiencies during the application by allowing
wider driving intervals. The following information relates to spread patterns, what affects them and
how to dial in the best pattern possible with the given material being applied.
Many of the following conditions may affect your equipment’s spread pattern performance:
1.
Flow divider position
2.
Spinner blade position
3.
Spinner speed
4.
The condition of the spinner blades on the spinner discs
5.
Physical properties of material:
a.
Density
b.
Size / Consistency
c.
Moisture Content
6.
Rate of delivery of material
7.
A balanced delivery of material to each spinner
8. Wind
Because product characteristics will change with each material spread, a certain amount of your
own experience with both equipment and material, along with some testing on your part, will
determine the adjustments needed to obtain the desired swath width and spread rate.
