The conversions should be used as guidelines for establishing proper rate settings for the particular product being applied. Steps for obtaining the most accurate settings are outlined in the “How to Determine Spreader Settings and Spread Width” section of this manual.
These settings are approximate and may vary due to physical characteristics of the product. Walking speed, wear, condition of the turf and humidity, may cause actual rate setting to deviate. No expressed nor implied warranty or guarantee is provided as to coverage or uniformity indicated by these rate settings.
