Notes:
Application rates and coverage areas are approximate and may vary based on spreader calibration, walking speed, and environmental conditions.
Always consult product labels for precise application instructions and safety guidelines.
Tips for Accurate Spreader Calibration
To ensure you’re applying the material correctly, follow these calibration steps:
- Weigh the product: Measure the amount you’ll apply to 1,000 sq. ft.
- Mark the area: Measure a 10’x100’ section (1,000 sq ft).
- Apply product: Walk at a consistent speed using the chosen setting.
- Weigh leftover material: Adjust settings if you applied too much or too little.
Pro tip: It’s better to slightly under-apply and go over the area twice for even coverage rather than over-applying at once.
