traveled. This distance equals 1/10 of an acre at the speed you with to travel.

Pick the speed you what to go and travel the distance listed in chart below collecting the material in the

calibration pans.

Begin moving ahead of marked off distance so you are traveling at desired speed.

Open bottom of spreader as the spreader passed the beginning of the marked off distance and then

close the bottom as the spreader passes the end of the marked off distance.

Know Area Method

Fill hoper. Treat a known area, such as an acre or two, and refill hopper to the same level, noting the

quantity used. Divide the amount required to refill by the area covered. The result will be your actual

application rate. In necessary, adjust Cam-Gauge setting to increase or decrease amount being

applied. Recheck. The following figures may help in your computations based on a filed length of 80

rods (1320-Ft), or one-quarter mile.
