This sheet is to be used for the calibration of the Scag Turfstorm spreader system. Always make sure the machine to be used is in proper
operating condition and that the user is trained in the proper operation of the machine. Always make sure to follow all safety information
given in the owner’s manual for this machine, as well as, any chemical safety information given by the manufacturer of the chemical being
used. Failure to follow safety information involving the handling of chemicals and the operation of this machine can lead to property
damage or personal injury. The spreader system should always be calibrated using a safe area that will not cause turf damage. For more
information on the spreader calibration process, please refer to the owners manual.

For more information on how to calculate eective spread width, refer to section 6.8 in the operator’s manual.
If the hopper empties as time expires, the spreader is calibrated correctly for the desired application rate.
If the hopper does not empty during the test time, the gate setting needs to be adjusted to increase the ow.
If the hopper empties before time expires, the gate setting needs to be adjusted to decrease the ow.
