The actual rate was determined to be 3 lbs / 1000 ft
2
.
Since is rate is lower than the rate recommended by the
manufacturer (7 lbs / 1000 ft
2
), the trial should be rerun
at a higher calibration setting.
Use and Care
Compare this application rate to the rate specified by
the manufacturer. If the actual rate is lower than the rate
specified by the supplier, rerun the trial at a higher calibration
setting. If the actual rate is higher than the rate specified by
the supplier, rerun the trial at a lower calibration setting.
Continue to run the trial(s) until the actual application rate
matches the rate specified by the manufacturer. Record the
calibration setting that corresponds to this rate and use this
setting when spreading the trial material.
NOTe:
These settings are intended as a guide only.
Factors such as variation in material density, moisture in the material, walking speed,
cranking speed, and ground conditions will affect the application rate of the spreader.
Because of this variation, Spyker makes no warranty as to the uniformity of coverage
actually obtained from the settings listed or determined using the calibration trial.
