How to Calibrate
your handheld spreader at home
[Image: Scotts Handheld Spreader]
Example Manufacturer model: Scotts Handheld Spreader Effective swath width: 2 m ACELEPRYN® GR application rate and spreader settings: 750 g/100 m² Spreader settings: 3 1.5 kg/100 m² Spreader settings: 4
- Check the spreading width of your spreader, for example it may be 2 metres wide (W)
- Measure the treating area (length), for example it may be 10 metres long (L)
- Area = W x L, using the example metrics above that would be 2 m x 10 m = 20 m²
- Measure enough product to cover 20 m²; a. For the higher rate of 1.5 kg / 100 m² = 300 g to treat 20 m² b. For the lower rate of 750 g / 100 m² = 150 g to treat 20 m²
- Set the gauge on the side of the spreader to setting 3 (depending on your walking speed)
- Add the measured amount of ACELEPRYN® GR to the hopper
- Now walk the measured area of 20 m², while selecting a walking and handle turning speed to cover the area (approximately one handle turn per step at a medium walking pace)
- If step 7 is not accurate, repeat steps 2 to 7 across another measured area until the desired application rate is applied
- Once the correct handle turning speed and walking speed has been determined, then the hopper can be filled, and broader application can begin.
