HOW TO DETERMINE SPREADER SETTINGS AND SPREAD WIDTH for details USE SWATH WIDTH ON PACKAGE OR ADJUST PER OPERATOR S WALKING SPEED OVERLAP 6 Push spreader at a normal walking speed 2 1 2 m p h 18 feet in 5 seconds Apply header strips around area to be treated Space trips across the area as shown Keep material off flower beds sidewalks etc 7 When transporting spreader make sure that it is in the OFF position Make sure handle lever is locked using the hitch pin through the hole in lever 8 Empty spreader after each use Return leftover material to its original container Husqvarna PATTERN Normal spreading of materials requires no adjustment factory setting A unless stated on the package In those cases where the spread pattern has shifted the pattern can be adjusted left and right by loosening the two knobs on the discharge chute and moving the chute closer or farther away from the impeller Settings of A B and C are provided as reference ADJUSTMENT Discharge Chute Settings Discharge Impeller 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 b

5. e affected by numerous factors EFFECTIVE PATTERN WIDTH 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 plate 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 If the pattern is not centered example volume in bottle 2 left not equal to bottle 2 right adjust the discharge chute up or down as described in PATTERN ADJUSTMENT section Once the pattern is uniform the effective pattern width can be determined The Space Pan 1 0 on Centers Space for Wheel Track 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 4 Husqvarna APPLICATION RATE Knowing the effective pattern width for EXAMPLE Product weight 25 Ibs example 10 feet measure a distance equal sq ft coverage 5 000 sq ft to 100 square feet 10 x 10 swath width 2500 Ibs 5 000 sq ft Determine the product coverage in pounds 5 Ibs 100 sq ft 100 sq ft by taking the weight of the product a
