Spreader Settings
Please note these spreader settings are given as a guide only.
Required settings will vary depending on the speed one walks and the condition of the spreader. It is therefore essential spreaders are tested prior to applying lawn care products to grass. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure product is applied at the correct application rate.
There are many variable spreaders in use. Each spreader manufacturer has many different models, so make sure you know which model you have before using any of the settings given here.
Tips:
If in doubt under dose rather then overdose!
For small areas:
Work out the area in m2 that you want to cover and weigh the exact amount of product into the spreader hopper. Once you have covered the area, the hopper should be empty.
a.) If it empties before you have finished, you are over dosing.
b.) If it still has contents in when you have finished, you are under dosing.
c.) Increase/Decrease the spreader setting accordingly. If you are over dosing, then turn down the spreader setting as soon as you suspect this is happening - Don't wait until you have over dosed your whole lawn!
For large areas:
Fill the spreader hopper with a known weight of product. Work out the area , in m2, that this weight will cover (this can be done by dividing the known weight by the required application rate).
Measure and mark out this area on your lawn and start applying the product. Once you have covered the area, the hopper should be empty.
a.) If it empties before you have finished, you are over dosing.
b.) If it still has contents in when you have finished, you are under dosing.
c.) Increase/Decrease the spreader setting accordingly. If you are over dosing, then turn down the spreader setting as soon as you suspect this is happening - Don't wait until you have over dose your whole lawn!
