Calibration
Your AccuGreen® 3000TM spreader was calibrated at
the factory. You may check the calibration as follows:
1. Adjust the micrometer setting to 6.
2. Squeeze the trigger against the handle.
3. The front edge of the shutoff bar should be
flush with the calibration line engraved on the bot-
tom of the hopper.
4. To adjust alignment, use a small wrench to turn the
black calibration screw at the lower end of the control
wire leading from the micrometer rate setting barrel.
