APPLICATION RATES SHOWN IN THE CHART (TABLE 3, P. 20) ARE AFFECTED BY HUMIDITY AND BY
THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE MATERIAL (GRANULAR AND PELLET). SOME MINOR SETTING
AD
USTMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS CONDITION.
Using Your DR Power Spreader
1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be covered and estimate amount of material
required.
2. Verify that the Spreader Motor turns on and off and that the flow control is operating properly.
3. Make sure the Flow Control Lever is in the “OFF” position.
4. Set the Adjustable Stop to the desired flow rate, keeping the Flow Control Lever in the “OFF”
position. Refer to the application chart (Table 3) and the instructions on the Material Package to
determine the proper flow rate setting. The application chart is calculated for a vehicle speed of 3
mph (100 ft. in 23 seconds). Faster speeds require higher flow rate settings to maintain the same
application rate.
