FLOW CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
OPEN & CLOSE: The material flow is shut off by moving Control
Lever to the left and locking into "V" notch on calibration plate.
FLOW SETTING: To set the flow rate, put the Control Lever in the
shut-off position (in "V" notch). Determine your required number
setting as described below. Loosen the nylon wing nut and slide
to the desired number setting and retighten the wing nut. Release
the control strap and it will open to the pre-set position.
DETERMINING FLOW CONTROL SETTING NUMBER:
NOTE: Fertilizer application rates as described are affected by
humidity and the moisture content of the material; therefore, minor
setting adjustments may be necessary to compensate for these
conditions.

ALTERNATIVE FLOW CONTROL SETTINGS:
To determine the required setting for materials not listed on
the Application Rate Chart, proceed as follows:
Determine the amount
of material to be spread over
a designated area. (Noted on
the material bag).
Determine the amount of material required
to cover 100 square feet as follows:
Add two zeros to bag weight.
Divide this number by
the number of square
feet on the bag.
NOTE: To convert this weight to ounces, simply multiply by 16
(16 oz. / lb). Example: 0.5 lb. x 16 = 8 oz.

Example: "The contents
of this bag (25 lbs.) will
cover 5000 square feet."
Example:
2500
Example: 2500 divided by
5000 = 0.5 pounds of material
for 100 square feet.
FLOW CONTROL SETTING
Determine approximate flow control setting by using the chart
below showing type of material to spread.
Measure off a distance of 40 feet in your yard. This is the
distance your 30" spreader must travel in order to cover 100
square feet. (2.5 ft. (30") x 40 ft. = 100 sq ft.) For 40" spreader
measure off a distnce of 30 feet in your yard, the distance to
cover 100 square feet. (3.33 ft. (40") x 30 ft. = 100 sq ft.)
Set the spreader flow control at the approximate flow control
setting.
Place 5 pounds of material in the Hopper. Weigh the material
before and after spreading 100 square feet to determine
amount of material used.
Move unit to measure area, lower aerator tines, open Flow
Control Lever. Drive the 40 ft. course, stop unit and close Flow
Control Lever.
Remove and weigh remaining material. Subtract this weight
from 5 pounds to determine material used: If too much material
is used: Set Flow Control ONE number LOWER and try again.
If too little material is used: Set Flow Control ONE number
HIGHER and try again.
After determining proper setting always record the type of
material and the setting for future use.
