CALIBRATION
Make sure the shutter is in the closed position.
If free flowing products are to be applied, configure the agitator to suit.
To calibrate your spreader place a measured amount of product in the hopper.
Set the choke to position (1-9) as indicated in the Calibration Guide on the following page.
Drive the spreader at the desired speed and open the shutter.
When the product has been exhausted, measure the area covered in square metres. It is
recommended that this be done over an area where the product can be seen on the ground so that
the spread width can be measured. A plastic sheet may be used.
Check the application rate using the following formula:
Rate (Kg/ha) =
Product applied (Kg) x 10,000
Distance travelled (metres) x spread width (metres)
Adjust either the choke or the speed of travel until the desired application rate is achieved.
