What do the numbers on Scotts spreader mean?
The numbers stand for an application rate. A bag of commercial fertilizer will usually have numbers for where to set either broadcast or drop spreaders to get the recommended amount of fertilizer laid down.
How do you determine spreader settings?
Calibrating Your Spreader
- Divide 100 by the square foot the bag of fertilizer covers.
- Multiply the weight of the bag by this number.
- The answer is the amount of fertilizer needed to cover 100 sq. ft.
- Place this amount in the spreader.
- Mark off a 10 ft. x 10 ft. area.
- Apply using the suggested setting.

What setting is Scotts EdgeGuard? – Related Questions
What does EdgeGuard do on Scotts spreader?
This lawn spreader comes pre-calibrated and ready-to-use, and holds up to 15,000 sq. ft. of Scotts® product. When EdgeGuard™ is engaged, it will block off the right-side of the spreader pattern to prevent product from spreading onto non-lawn areas.
How do you find the spreader constant?
The spreader constant is the number of sensor pulses divided by per cubic foot of material discharged per revolution (CFR).

How do you calibrate a PTO spreader?
What is an important step in calibrating a fertilizer spreader?
Spreader calibration consists of two processes. First, the spread pattern must be adjusted to distribute the fertilizer particles uniformly. Second, the amount of fertilizer spread over the desired area must be measured and adjusted, if necessary, to equal the recommended application rate.
How do you calibrate a Z spray spreader?
How do you calculate spray calibration?
Spray into a measuring jug for the same time it took to cover the 10 m × 1 m area. Record this output. You can now multiply this figure by 10, which will give a water application rate per 100 m2. OR you can now multiply this figure by 1000 to give a water application rate/ha.
When should the sprayer calibration be done?
If the actual rate is more than 5 percent higher or lower than the recommended or intended rate, you must make adjustments in either spray pressure or travel speed or in both. For example, to increase the flow rate you will need to either slow down, or increase the spray pressure.
How do I calibrate my sprayer?
Fill the sprayer tank (at least half full) with water. Run the sprayer, inspect it for leaks, and make sure all vital parts function properly. Measure the distance in inches between the nozzles. Measure an appropriate travel distance in the field based on this nozzle spacing.
How do I calculate my sprayer rate?
Simply incorporate the output of a single nozzle in gallons per minute (GPM) and multiply by 5,940. Then divide by the product of miles per hour (MPH) times the distance between nozzles in inches (width) on the spray boom.
Why is my sprayer not spraying evenly?
You may need to add paint thinner in order to make sure the paint is the right consistency. If your paint is the correct consistency but your spray gun is still producing inconsistent patterns, take a look at your air compressor. HVLP guns require high volumes of air (measured in CFM).
What pressure should my sprayer be at?
The working range is between 15 and 50 psi, with smaller patterns requiring lower pressure. No two sprayers are likely to agree on the same settings, so it’s a matter of personal feel. Some typical settings: 15 to 20 psi:Airbrushing, touch-up, shading, sunbursting, and thin finish materials.
What is the water ratio for spray gun?
Add ½ cup (118 milliliters) of water for every gallon of paint. Mix thoroughly. Check the thickness by running the paint through a funnel. If it flows freely through the funnel, you know the paint is thinned enough.
How much pressure should a pump sprayer have?
The hand held sprayer has a plastic compression pump that is sealed with rubber O-rings. The compression pump is hand actuated to an operating pressure of 40 PSI.
How much wind is too much for spraying?
specify 10 MPH as the maximum wind speed for application. Spraying when winds exceed label restrictions is not only illegal, but can override steps taken to eliminate off-target movement (e.g. low-drift nozzles, low spray pressure, etc.).
Do you need 2 coats when spraying?
It is recommended that you apply two coats and allow the proper time frame for drying. Be sure to also sand between each dried coat. Once the final coat is painted and allowed time to dry, it’s time for a clear coat. Depending on the sheen of paint used, you can also apply a clear coat over spray paint.
