GENERAL OPERATIONS
SPREADING IN FIELD
•
There are many effective ways to use the spreader. The following guideline is a suggested way to
ensure even coverage.
•
For best results, it is recommended to set the flow rate at half of the desired coverage and cover
the area twice. The second coverage route should be perpendicular to the first coverage route.
This is the best method to achieve even coverage with lower chances of thin or missed spots.
GENERAL OPERATIONS
SPREAD ZONE COVERAGE
See FIGURE 19.1
1.
Position the Spreader in the corner
of the area to be covered as
indicated by the “START POINT” at
half the spread width from both
edges of the spread area.
2.
Open gates to the desired flow rate
setting and begin moving forward at
the required speed along route “A”.
Route “A” will continue around the
perimeter at a Half Spread Width
distance from the edge of area.
3.
Once you are a distance of SW/2
from the “Start Point”, turn to
continue along route “B”. Route “B”
and route “A” should be a Spread
Width apart. Make sure to not leave
a gap between route “A” and “B”.
4.
When you reach route “A” close the
gate and turn the unit to go in the
opposite direction alone route “C”.
5.
Once you are aligned with route “C”
and are a distant of one spread
width from the edge, reopen the
gate and travel straight along Route
“C”. Again, ensure there is no gap
between route “B” & “C”
6.
Repeat Steps 4 & 5 until you have
covered the entire area.
“SW” = Spread Width
“SW/2” = Half Spread Width

BEFORE YOU START
•
It is strongly recommended to calculate the spread pattern and flow rates of the
material you will be spreading. If you do not do this, the spreader may not
produce desired results. See page 30-32 for flow rate calculation procedures.
